1st) no don't change your standards; you are who you are and your bo should accept you for yourself. you need not change yourself for some-one's attention, you are the way you are for a reason. 2) it may be a little difficult to hook up with someone but, when you hook up with someone with the same attitude as you have and can understand each other and each others moods, it will be well worth it!

If you have set this high a standard, keep it. save yourself for mr. right, when you get married. There is no written rule that states you have to have sex, just to be popular. Its your body and your decision.

I agree with Norman up there. In no way should you have to change to so your partner likes you. There is always compromise and middle ground, but that is true in any relationship. Be who you are and be happy with yourself. The right guy will come along, just don't try and force the relationship to work with the wrong guy and you will be just fine.

My two daughters had the same attitude as you. One got married two years ago, the other is getting married next year, to men who really appreciate them for that.

In all honesty? Yes, I think it might be a little tougher for you to find a boyfriend than if you did make out- BUT no I don't think that means you should change your standards. Presumably if and when you do get a boyfriend you want him to be someone who you can be yourself with, who accepts you for who you are, and ideally has similar standards and ideas to you. By changing your standards, yes, you might get a boyfriends easier, but he's unlikely to be the kind of boyfriend that you will be happy with- and surely its better to be single a little longer, than to have a boyfriend who isn't right for you? If you're true to yourself and your own values you give yourself a far better chance of finding someone you can be happy with. (and that's coming from a girl who's done her fair share of "making out"!)

It might be tough for you to find a boyfriend, but a man (or a woman) who truly loves you will understand. I love french kissing, but my boyfriend isn't too into it, although the one time I tried it, he really seemed to like it (you don't say "wow!" if you don't like something). I just realize it's something he's not entirely comfortable with, and I love and respect him as he is without pushing him unless he's ready. I'm a fairly modest person myself, so I believe you will find someone and that someone will love you for who you are, not what you put out.

DON'T EVER CHANGE YOUR STANDARDS! i was just like you. and in high school it was kind of tough because all my friends had boyfriends and stuff but honestly, all of their relationships fell through. I was actually terribly scared of making out because the first guy i dated, when he finally got me to make out with him he got way too comfortable with it and it scared me so i stopped, the next day i found him making out with this girl in an empty classroom. So that really made me scared and uncomfortable with boyfriends. But because i am the way i am, i met this guy and decided to take it slow and if he didn't like it, too bad i wasn't going to change for anyone. But we both started to realize that we had something really good going for us. and eventually (like three months later) he got me to feel comfortable kissing. and he is the best thing that has ever happened to me and literally a miracle in my life. so don't ever lower your standards for a guy. if they really love you, they will come up to your level. because the sweetest things in life you have to wait for. although most guys don't understand that concept they will in time. :) i hope that my advice has been helpful. I really hope you take it into consideration
