This is the last kiss until I'm engaged. I should have savored it a little more.

Background
I'm a 20-year-old senior in college pursuing a bachelor's degree in mathematics and a master's degree in architecture. While I was volunteering at an orphanage in Africa, I read a book and made some startling choices. The book was And the Bride Wore White by Dannah Gresh and the most startling choice was not to kiss another guy until I'm engaged to him.
Some of you may be thinking that sounds easy. It won't be. Others of you may be thinking I'm crazy or screwing up my future. I'm not. Some of you may think, "Well she's probably a homely, chubby girl who is avoiding boys before they have a chance to avoid her." That's not true, either. I'm a pretty, fun-loving, energetic, outgoing blonde with lots of friends. I work two jobs and have above a 3.5 GPA. I've had a few boyfriends--some good, some bad--and most recently broke up with one last October. I won't go into any details about my exes because that's not fair to them. My decision not to kiss another guy until I'm engaged has nothing to do with my exes or my hormones or anything like that. I've made the decision for my own reasons, and here they are:
1. As soon as I get physical (kissing, holding hands, etc) with a guy, I get emotionally attached. Naturally all relationships either end or progress toward marriage. All my relationships so far have ended, and I'm sick of the heartache.
2. I'm waiting for the one God has planned for me. I believe that he'll wait to kiss me because that's what I feel I need to do.
I'm hoping this blog will be amusing to you, at the very least. I don't intend to be rude or disrespectful to anyone, including boys. I figured if I'm making this crazy decision, I'll go through a lot in the next few years, and I might as well chronicle it for someone's enjoyment and benefit.
