Default Roman Catholic answers preferred?

I am a 23yr old Roman Catholic girl who has to date proudly lived a chaste life.
Recently I've started 'going out' with this guy from uni - he's been making very suggestive comments and actions, but for some reason I don't feel compelled to stop them. Even though I never would have allowed myself to get into this position previously..
When I'm around him I let my body control me, so I've been trying to avoid him until I sort things out in my mind - I'm lost and confused and not sure what to do..

This is why remaining a virgin is hard work. The body wants to give in, but in your heart and soul know you should wait. No one ever wants something that feels good to stop, but if you truly believe that you should wait till marriage, then fight the urges. Believe me, when you do get married and you are ready to give your husband that ultimate gift he will feel very special, and it will make the moment even more special than ever. Good luck and I hope you make the right decision!

The peace for you dear questioner

You can ask him if he has adultery in his heart. And according to Islam, and adulterer/fornicator is not allowed to be with a chaste person man or female.

If he is a good chaste man, then he will inform your parents. In fact you can demand it from him before he loses himself too, and makes you fall as well.

You can also do the following:

Since you are a grown woman, you can choose to get to know another man as you have no legal obligation to constantly go out with such a male who is not able to teach you the morals of chastity.

Think of it this way, God is your ultimately love... a husband is just a gift from God. We enjoy the gift to please the God. So let's not take gifts without the God's permission and upset our creator.

It sounds like chastity has been an important part of who you are up until now.

The 'feelings' you are experiencing are normal feelings, but that doesn't mean you should give in to them. I would recommend you read a book by Shannon Eldrige, or go ogle her website, her books, are all about 'women's battles' with this kind of thing.

How would you feel 'the morning after', if you did give in to your feelings? How would you feel if you give in, and the relationship ends? How would you feel if you give in, and suddenly everyone is talking about it? Where does it end? How many guys might make you feel like this whilst you are at Uni, 1, 5, 10, 20?

If this guy truly loves you, he will respect your views on this matter. If he doesn't respect them, then he isn't worth worrying about. Believe it or not, there are guys out there that WILL respect you for it!

Good luck to you, I think you are fabulous for taking chastity so seriously, and I can tell that you are having a real struggle with this.

God Bless.

Wait until marriage. I know it's easier said than done. If the guy requires sex to continue the relationship, he's not worth it. It means he's more interested in your, um, attributes than you. Drop him.

Dump him. If you aren't yourself around him then who would you rather be? Keep your basic principles. If he can't respect you then don't allow him to disrespect you.

Catholicism is not Christian. Catholicism cannot get anyone into heaven, because Catholicism teaches works for salvation, and that is a false gospel of works (Galatians 1:6-9) that is against JESUS'S free gift of salvation!

And Catholicism will not give you a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with Jesus, which is what JESUS wants with you!

So, you need to get away from Catholicism, and instead, to believe in JESUS for His free gift of eternal life in heaven! John 3:16! !

It's clear from the Book of Acts in the Bible that catholics didn't even exist during the days of Acts. And the SEVEN CHURCHES in Revelation, all of which existed before 100 AD, NONE of them were catholic! Catholicism didn't exist for over 300 years after Jesus. And Catholicism didn't exist for over 200 years after the Bible was complete and compiled. Those in the Book of Acts are the first Christians, and they believed what would be called fundamentalist doctrine today. ANYONE can read the Book of Acts for themselves and see. Had Catholicism existed during the time of Acts, the first Christians would have rejected Catholicism completely.

Also there's TONS of Christians who also completely rejected Catholicism, long before Martin Luther was even born. Catholicism murdered millions and millions of Christians. :*(

So not only is it wrong for anyone to say that "catholics were the first Christians", but this blows away the catholic claim that "no churches existed other than the catholic church, until Martin Luther".

Every "pope" is a false prophet. And there is no "pope" in the Bible.

There were ALWAYS saved believers outside the catholic cult, who knew Catholicism cannot save anyone.

Catholicism cannot save. Only believing in Jesus for His free gift of salvation, is what saves!

So, catholics need to get away from Catholicism, and instead, to believe in JESUS for His free gift of eternal life in heaven!

Jesus is God, and Jesus loves you so very much! And the Trinity is true!

The truth about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to hell, is by believing in JESUS for His free gift of eternal life in heaven, believing in faith alone that Jesus, who is God, died on the cross for all our sins as FULL PAYMENT for all our sins, and then Jesus rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe in Jesus for His free gift of salvation, and you will be in heaven, no matter what! John 3:16, John 6:47!

Salvation is a FREE GIFT that happens in a split second when you believe in JESUS for His free gift of salvation! It is impossible to lose or "leave" salvation (John 6:39-40, John 10:28, 1 John 5:13).

Please pray now: "Jesus, I believe that You died on the cross to pay for my sins and that You rose from the dead, and I thank You for eternal life!" You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die!

Stop seeing him. That's the easiest way to flee temptation.

Have you told him about your commitment to chastity? Because if you have and he's being suggestive, he's not being respectful of you. Likely, he just wants to overpower your commitment, add a notch to his belt, and then he'll drop you like a used piece of toilet paper.

If you haven't told him, then you should and see if he changes his ways. He may start treating you respectfully. Or, he may drop you. I told one fellow on the second date that there would be no sex until marriage. He called me a few days later and asked me to reconsider and change it to no sex until we were engaged, which he thought was a fair compromise. When I refused, he told me he wouldn't see me any more.

No loss. I eventually married a wonderful guy who is as devoted to Christ as I am.
