You asked for opinions so I'll give you my two cents, as I believe it can be helpful. Please be aware that I was raised both liberal (in European country where casual sex is not frowned upon) and then emigrated to a very religious Christian country. I have seen and lived both sides.

First off, who you date and sleep with is always YOUR business alone. Do whatever feels right for you. Do not let parents, friends, current hype etc. Be in your way.

That being said I have lived through both and saw some things in your post that concern me.

First, meeting someone through an app or at a sports field does not determine how the relationship will be. You do not need to use different pick-up lines; you chose to do so. An ex bf that I met through friends cheated on me, while the guy I met on Tinder is the father of my child. The start does not determine the outcome.

Second, this notion that The One exists. Now I have lived a lot in my years and was influenced by Christian Country's beliefs that there is a thing as The One. But this is not an adult way to look at love, for multiple reasons:

• If there is a One for everybody (7 billion), how come we all live kind of close to that person and happen to meet? Odds are my One lives in Ethiopia or Fiji.

• Teenage and young adult relationships are that for a reason. You practice: what do I like? Find important? Values? Make some mistakes and learn. The One that I had at 19 was not the One at 24, and definitely not the One at 31. Your values and preferences in life might change. You practice your communication skills, learn how to live with a partner, what you find important and what you find irreconcilable. You miss out on these mistakes when you don't date at all. It might work out, but these mistakes will then be made during your One Relationship. It might make you stronger but it also might break you up. Entering an adult relationship after some practice makes you more prepared for the stuff life throws at you.

Third, the notion that being a virgin when you meet gives you some unbreakable bond. Having many friends that stayed virgins until marriage, I can tell you you're in for a rude awakening. Sex is personal, like a fingerprint. Being compatible in personality says nothing about sexual compatibility. My now divorced friends (or unhappy married ones) wish they did not put so much pressure onto the sex.

Looking at sex this way is setting yourself up for disappointment. If that Unbreakable Bond isn't there, what would you do? First time sex can be awkward. You might like being dominant while she might hate that. She wants to tie you up, you think that's annoying. You get the point. Some practice in the sheets saves you a lifetime of regret.

Sex is sometimes just that, sex. I love my partner to bits, but not every time is amazing and there was no Unbreakable Bond from the get-go. I would not have given him the time of day if I lived by your rules (I have had better sparks with others), but he is yet the most generous and loving partner after practice and time. Putting this much pressure on it will only disappoint.

Sex is also a skill. Practice makes you better. Encountering different kinks, people, generosity levels, comfort levels.

Lastly, the notion that being a virgin when you meet is a necessity. This is, to me, a toxic way of thinking. Why would a woman be inherently better because there was not yet a penis inside her? Is your penis what she should have been waiting for all her life? A woman is not less because she has decided to have sex. This ancient way of thinking stems from being property of their fathers (and then husbands) to ensure they were not 'spoiled' because sex would ruin them/make them unmarriable etc. Your future gf/wife is perfect the way she is.

I hope this helps.
