First off, congrats in being able to wait until you're 20. Alright, bro, I feel for your situation. But unless she came right out and said that she screwed this other guy, you can't assume anything. Another point, I have dated seven or eight girls in my life, three of them seriously, and most of these girls were victims of some type of abuse prior to our relationship. That doesn't count those who were my friends who suffered abuse. Sadly, it's more common than you think. Honestly, and I really mean no offense, but it sounds like you're stressing way too much over this, man. Don't give yourself an ulcer over women possibilities. Nothing is worth an ulcer, man. Seriously, it doesn't sound like you're ready. Kudos that you want your first time to be special, we all do, but I guarantee that if you wait, you're going to be so damn pent up and nervous the special act you've waited for for 20 years or so isn't gonna last 20 seconds. Not so special. We all want to find "the one", most of us anyway, and that's commendable, but who is to say that this 16 yr old is it? I met my wife on November 10, 1995 and knew she was going to be my wife the second I hugged her for the first time. We were both virgins, but that changed not long after we started dating. We've been together ten years now, and most of the time I'm blissfully happy. However, does the time come where I regret not taking the chance with the hot foreign exchange student when she tracked me down in the photography darkroom when I was staying late one day in high school? Hellz yeah, there's regret. It probably would've happened too if my buddies hadn't shown up early to pick me up. Point is life is short, but it's long enough to grab a few experiences, man. Seize the moment before it passes you up. You might be married to a great person and have wonderful talks, funny moments, the best marriage with the best sex possible, but you will reflect upon the "what ifs" that might not have been. I'm not saying fuck everything that walks. There's nothing wrong with getting familiar with territory and most people have had some activity it seems like, at least over here. I mean, it's obvious the USA is fucked up since my wife's a high school teacher who has freshmen coming in with a kid and one on the way, but I digress. If her past bugs you, that's cool. Just tell her. Just because you met one girl who shares common intrests doesn't mean that there isn't another girl out there who doesn't. If you're wondering about the other chick, if she's experienced "don't be a fool, wrap your tool". One way or the other, you've got to make the choice yourself. A bunch of people who you barely know on a message board can't help you one way or another if you're this unsure. Sucks, but true. Sorry this is so long.
