I have been dating my boyfriend for over 6 months and I still haven't

I have been dating my boyfriend for over 6 months and I still haven't slept with him. Lately he's been bringing up sex a lot and though I am passionate about him I an not sure if I am ready to sleep with him. Two nights ago we began kissing and it was all fine and dandy until he began to try to caress under my shirt. I had to stop him and when I did he got really upset with me and stormed out of my house. Now I am afraid that if I don't do it with him he might break up with me and that would really break my heart. Besides the fact that he is being so pushy about the sex he is really sweet and these past six months that we have been datinghave been very special. If I lose him I am going to be devastated and completely heart broken so I had better decide very soon if I am going to go ahead with it.

I told my best friend about my problem and she suggested that I talk to him about it. She agreed with me that just because we have been dating six months it doesn't mean we have to do it or that I have to be ready. I am a virgin and for me having sex for the first time is something that I have been saving and that I thought I would wait to do after I got married. When we began dating I had explained all this to him and I thought he understood and had agreed, but now only 6 months into our relationship he has changed his mind and wants to make me change mine too.

This is so unfair and really not worth it, the more I think and write about it the madder that I get and the more I realize that I don't need to take this crap. I am a pretty, lovable and fun girl and any smart guy should be happy enough to be with me without pressuring me into having sex. I am going to give him one chance, I will tell him that I am not doing it and that he can either stay or go. If he balks or gets upset he is out of my life forever. I guess this is where we will find out if he loves me or not.
