And, well, I'm not the "norm" in my groups of friends or in my family usually. *shrugs* You are. I'm normally the anomaly of a group. In fact, my sister told me a year ago that I'm the only virgin she knows. *chuckles* See? Rare. In your life, with your friends, your family? Not so abnormal.

You went to a Christian college and surrounded yourself with people who think the same as you (in large part). I went to a secular school, had many non-Christian friends (and still do), and have been blessed with having many of them be blunt and honest with me. I, in return, was able to be blunt and honest right back...and was able to, I hope, show them something new, something they weren't use to. I didn't drink alcohol until after I was away from people who did it all the time so I didn't fall into that "stumbling block" category (meat sacrificed to idols kinda thing. Although even now, I have specifications to drinking alcohol and don't do it often. I can't even remember the last time I felt the desire to do so. And I never have because others were. I made sure everyone knew my reasons and regs on that. And anyone I hang out with knows that I'm pretty attached to my beliefs and I'm not about to do anything just because "everyone else is doing it.")

Either the people you know are more up front about it, you are, or both, heh. Because yeah, while I haven't really hidden the fact that I am a virgin (so yes, apparently you can make it a year past your own age--almost, I know--as a male and still be a virgin), and that I like it that way. I just haven't had all that many discussions this direction, which I'm not sure is a good or a bad thing. But when it does come up, I mention it, and people oddly enough haven't even focused on that much. Wonder why people do for you. But yeah... this is a good way to be: I'm glad I've waited for you rather than wasting this experience on some other person that wouldn't even be around anymore in my life, you know? And goodnes... that "Tom, Dick, and Harry" bit still kills me. *laughs some more* You crack me up! TQ! I find it interesting that this subject has come up as much as it has.
