How can I handle someone who is pushing me towards a physical relationship?

1 Timothy 4:12Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.

It is better to stay pure than to give in to pressure. If the one you are dating is truly a friend who is caring and concerned about you, that person will honor and respect your desire for purity before marriage. If that person doesn’t respect what is important to you before you are married, it is unlikely they will respect what is important to you after you are married.
