in addition to everything everyone else has already said, which is fantastic advice by the way, i just wanted to say that i respect and appreciate you so much for respecting her boundaries and holding yourself back from going further than she desires.

best of luck to you with this. i'd say just wait it out. if you love her, it'll be worth it. just remember that you guys are still fairly young, and it's okay if you're not ready to be tied down.
if you want to go out and experiment, then by all means, go for it. this is your youth - you only get to live it once.
