Anyway, I do hope you find that special person and that you do find it a wonderful experience to give him your virginity, and I hope he appreciates it.

Saving Myself
I think, Louise, the easiest way for me to tell who is NOT special is to immediately eliminate those who want or expect sex as a matter of course. As I have said, my chances have been many. Perhaps sex is like finding a Taken In Hand relationship: you open up about it as soon as you feel the time is right. If the other disagrees with you, the relationship is not going to be what you are looking for.
On the other hand, I had the opportunity to spend a night unexpectedly with each of two of my "prospectives". Neither made an issue of the subject, even though circumstances required that we share a bed. (Of course, I did not know one was getting it elsewhere.)
Perhaps keeping sex out of the relationship for as long as possible allows you to focus on the relationship as a total, instead of just parts of it. Just my opinion.
Suffice to say, should the right one come along (I wish he would hurry up), I will know, and he will get it, as a result of my choosing. And he had better appreciate it, too!

Sex as a matter of course
When I was young I just sort of expected men to want sex with me, I just took it for granted, it never occurred to me they wouldn't. I tended to assume that if a man didn't proposition me within about five minutes of meeting me then he wasn't interested.
Of course, my view is perhaps somewhat skewered by the fact that my own sexual adventures took place mainly in a historical re-enactment society I joined when young where the atmosphere was somewhat overheated and it was very much a "gather ye rosebuds while ye may" sort of attitude.
