Hard knock Life of Being A Virgin?

I still have my v card so to say but i don't flaunt it around its like my little secret but I'm also scared to lose it because to me it's just one of those things that I take pride in and I just don't want to be in a relationship with a guy I like and then boom shit happens and of course I can't get it back ....should I wait until marriage or just do what I think is best
