This isn't a question we like to hear, because sadly, looking at the world today we already know the answer. Purity now a days isn't held to the esteem as it once was. We get into this mind set that guys like easy women and they wouldn't waste their time with someone who plays hard to get. It seems that most women who have committed themselves to purity, struggle with guys trying to lower their standards. We see this a lot in non-christian guys, but even most Christ professing men do not seem to fully appreciate a woman's desire to guard her heart and protect her purity. It becomes a constant struggle to stay committed to a walk of purity, and we start to question if it really is worth it. "What if guys really aren't looking for that kind of purity in a woman?" I think the thing we don't realize is that there are Christian young men out there that are asking the same question. "Are there girls out that really are committed to purity?" And they too ask if it is worth it.
Guys that are going after easy girls are just looking to feed their flesh. They aren't looking for true love, and they certainly are not worthy of your time and attention. A real man, the kind of man that a woman would want to spend her life with, is one who respects the precious gift that every girl possesses. Who will honor her like the valuable treasure that she is.
"A real man will not attempt to rip her precious pearl from its protective shell or persuade her with charm to give away her treasure prematurely. He will wait patiently until she willingly gives him the prize of her heart. A real man will cherish and care for that precious prize forever." And he will! A real man will cherish you because you are worth being cherished!" Leslie Ludy
If we had more real men out there that treated women that way God intended it to be, it wouldn't be so hard! But even if real men are hard to find, they do exist, and they are worth waiting for. I know that along this road to purity it isn't going to be easy but remember, a real man looks at your purity as beautiful. And one day, all the tears, all the hard ache, and waiting will be more then worth it. If marriage is part of God's plan for you, there is one real man who might be dreaming of a woman who is waiting patiently and faithfully for him right now.
"Promise me, O women of Jerusalem, by the gazelles and wild deer, not to awaken love until the time is right." Song of Songs 2:7
So I hope that this helps in answering the question: "What if there isn't a guy out there who really wants a woman of purity?" The answer is YES! There are tons of guys who are looking for just that! And if you come across a guy who seems like he doesn't care remember, he is NOT worth your time and attention. Until God brings a real man into your life keep your eyes fixed on Him, because He will give you the desires of your heart!
Your sister in Christ
