LOL, a Great Aunt of mine once said to me "always taste the wine before you buy it".
At any rate, mad props to those who made the decision to wait. I (also) sometimes wish I'd made better choices as a younger woman, but nothing I can do about it now. Chemistry is huge, but I agree COMMUNICATION is key, and if you are already madly in love with him, you're 99% there.
Like erudolph (erude, if I may), I too prayed for God to send me a good man, and for my part decided to abstain. It worked, He sent my my wonderful Fiance, for whom I am grateful for every day. We've lived together for three years, and won't likely "hold out" prior to our August 2010 wedding (except for maybe the week or so prior when his family is in town and guests are all up in our house 24/7), but it is an intriguing idea!
