This relaunch of TBATB has me riveted so far. Granted, it has only been one issue, but the preview for #2 (below) has some serious promise.

New Courting Disaster Question

There's a new question on the Courting Disaster Web site.

Although not religious, I want to wait until my boyfriend and I get married before we have sex. (I'm happy to do digital and oral stuff in the meantime.) Although he says he wants to mary me, bf says he doesn't want to get married in the near future - yet, he's been pressuring me to change my mind so that we can start having sex now instead. I don't want to pressure him into marrying sooner, and I feel bad to keep saying 'no' to him, but personally I am OK with waiting for sex until later and would prefer not to do it yet. What should I do? --'I do'... but when?
