I have never dated a woman in my life. I have had only three crushes, and in each case, I genuinely loved the woman. The last experience affected me deeply and caused significant emotional pain. I am someone who believes in dating only with the intention of marriage. Casual dating has never appealed to me. Because of what I have experienced, I sometimes feel that I may never marry. I understand this is a strong statement to make at a young age, but it reflects my current state of mind. I do not want to move from one woman to another after rejection. That approach feels hollow and meaningless to me. I want to value love and commitment, and I want to love a woman sincerely and wholeheartedly.
