Dear Mona,  

I’ve met a great guy who adores me.  I adore him as well.  The only major issue we have here is that he’s a virgin.  What are my chances of having everlasting love with someone who’s never experienced anything but his current love?   

Sincerely,
Ashton
 

Dear Everlast,  

Your chances at big love are pretty great as long as you don't screw it up by being preoccupied with his level of experience (or lack there of)! Some guys need to experience the world in order to believe that what they've found is right for them. Other boys just want to live in the now and enjoy the love that they currently have. Your guy's untapped wonderland and his ability to give you everlasting love are mutually exclusive. Try not to obsess about it.  

The best part about your situation is that you get to show your innocent the ways of the land. He'll be eager to learn and I'm sure you'll have no problem teaching him. The potential drama of the situation is that he may at any point decide that he wants a glance at life outside of Ashton's World.  

You can't predict which way your boy will sway. All you can do is live in the now and see where your connection grows. Unfortunately, the expiration date for any relationship is invisible to the naked eye. There are so many factors that can either strengthen or destroy love. We are a species of experiences. And We can never know which way the love winds will blow until we step into the open air and take a chance.  

Don't let the fear of your man's unknown be a barrier. Go with it. Talk about his needs and wants and yours as well. Then go forth, and experience.  

Yours dressed in white,  
Mona
