Dating and abstaining as a Christian woman.

Question

I’m not even sure if this is the right place to put this, but I’m a single woman trying to date again. Even though I’ve been a Christian for a while, I wasn’t abstinent in my previous relationships. So now, at 34, I am trying to do the right thing and wait before marriage. I’m talking to Christian men but have found that none of them are abstaining. I’m typing this largely to vent but is anyone else also finding this? I just told a guy that I’ve been talking to for about a month now and really starting to like that I’m waiting for marriage. only for him to blatantly tell me that he can’t wait. I know we should have talked about this sooner but we were getting along so well and talking about other important things. this just slipped but I made the wrong assumption that he would be on the same page. I’m at my wits end now, and scared I’ll be single forever!
