[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was very idealistic as a youngster.  However, in the end, I have fondness for the innocence of my youth and really no major regrets.  I did not sleep around but were there people worth sleeping around with?  Not really. I was not surrounded by Helmsworth brothers lookalikes. 
I am also not a person who can hook up without catching feelings, so yes, I was very unsophisticated and I did not experiment sexually.  I was also very prideful and could not bear to be taken advantage of by a man.  I just did not trust anyone who wanted to get into my pants.

Cringeworthy moments? Oh sure.  I was a small town girl with a middle-class morality and a short fuse - so I was a sort of SJW.  But, I really love who I was then, and what I got out of life subsequently.   Even though I laugh at how foolish and earnest I was at that time.

I mean, I'm still like what you describe in your first paragraph and don't consider it unsophisticated in the least. Also never been one to fall for flattery (even the very sophisticated kind.) Ended up with an amazing, funny, patient, salt of the earth DH (I meant at least that's his track record so far... I'm still watching, lol!)

I did experiment a bit in my youth, mostly with well read, neo-beatnik types who also worked out, lol. Caught some feelings but nothing that clouded my judgment too badly. Was fun for a while.[/quote]
