Anyone else waiting to get into a committed relationship later on in life?

When I say later, I mean somewhere in my twenties. I'm young now (eighteen) and I'd prefer not to start anything that requires much commitment. Some might call me a whore but I don't see much wrong with that, it's not like I'm doing any harm to anybody else.

Nothing wrong with exploring in a safe manner. How else can you be sexual and think on what you need in a sexual relationship and partner? Do what you think suits you and do not worry about what others think. As long as you are not hurting anyone. I dated at 19 only a bit and got involved with a guy. It was not good from the start. I should have dated more and developed myself. I think everyone in their young adulthood should live on their own. It is a better way to learn to be independent and self-sufficient. Don't jump from your parent's home to a partner's one. Develop who you are and then you will find a suitable partner. And there is no perfect mate. You have to love someone for their entirety and, just as important, do not love someone for their looks. Be careful as STDs can ruin your life. And be caring too. That's the end of my advice. I hope it helps you. Be strong and have fun responsibly.

Thank you for the advice! I'm pretty much just trying to satisfy my sexual needs at the moment. Finding a guy to fool around with is pretty hard right now. Once I finally get my life all settled (I'm hoping anywhere in my twenties at least) THEN I'll find me the ideal partner.

@Caine: Welcome. I wish actually that I had had more sexual experience at 21. I still think that would have benefited me. I would have been single a lot longer and been happier and more independent earlier too.

@PoetryNEmotion: Yeah, I think that should apply to everyone. Get to know who you are and what interests you and have a lot of sex before settling down for the right partner. It can really help. When I was sixteen I had my first boyfriend and almost immediately we started talking about freaking marriage an adopting kids and all that jazz. Needless to say the relationship failed. I just hate how people label people like me as "whores" and "sluts" just because we like fooling around with commitment. There's nothing wrong with exploring and experimenting. You can lead a much healthier life this way.

Judging by your age, commitment now seems too soon. I feel the same way, i like being in relationships but commitment is not really on my mind.

Same here. I just kinda want to date as many people as possible so I can one day find the person I really want to be committed to.

@Caine: yeah because I don't want to be committed too soon then it ends up being a mistake and mainly time wasted.
