Before I go to bed, just want to respond to something you said. Imma say this now since I don't care anymore. You made a promise to yourself when you were young and irrational. You're 17 now and your able to make rational decisions where you won't end up screwing yourself. If you think just because you wait until ur 18, youll somehow be better or safer in a relationship, think again. Relationships knowledge comes from experience.

In the real world, that promise u made is nothing more then a fallacy which is causing you to deceive yourself into thinking you'll turn out better because of the promise. Want real advice? Forget the damn promise already. I don't care if u wanna restrain from kissing until 18 years old, or anything else, but you clearly wanna date and all ur doing is hurting yourself. God wont care, stop thinking he will, if god truly exists then in reality he put you on this earth to experience the realities of human life. He doesn't care about how you begin, how you end, or what happened in between. He just gave you a free will, to do what you please.

So do yourself a favor. Realize your 17, and realize that if you wanna date someone, just do it. No one cares, the only view of your world that matters is your own. You wanna date, do it, if not, then stop getting involved with people that want to.

You asked me, am I retarded. Well truth be told your not, your far from it, which is why it utterly blows my mind that you can't see the world for what it truly is.

You wanna date Paul, fuck the promise and do it. You'll regret it your entire life if you waste away your childhood years.
