From a guys perspective who is 24, out of college, working full time, and never really been in a serious relationship, still a virgin (and not ashamed by it)...I had to smile through this whole thing. At this point, I don't mind waiting. She'll come one day. Now we just need someone to write something like this for all those teenage boys out there. Maybe call it " It's worth the wait."

"yeah a boy's gonna run but a real man's gonna stay" THAT HIT ME. this isn't about playing games. it's about protecting your heart. love it, abby!

My husband and I waited till we both got married, we were each other's firsts, we were even each other's first kiss. This year will be our 3rd year of marriage, and I am beyond blessed.

As a Christian teen, this song is so important to me. I will live by this song until marriage.

I'm A Old Grandpa sending This To All My Granddaughters

“You can’t get it back when you give yourself away” that hit me like a truck. Such a good song. Every girl should listen to this 💯 always remember your worth, ladies

“Before that first kiss, he’s gotta hold your hand” I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH

As a dad of twin 12 y/o daughters thank you Abby for having a different perspective in your lyrics for my girls to listen to.

This song has NOTHING to do with playing games. A lot of people associate,”making a boy wait” as playing games. This song is saying not to rush into each stage of a relationship. Enjoy the small talk, enjoy the flirting, enjoy the beginning stages of dating, enjoy holding his hand,enjoy the simple small kisses, enjoy each stage because a boy wants to rush into the deep stuff. A man wants to wait and get to know you too. Make eachother wait. Because it’s worth the wait.💗

I'm a muslim, I'm always amazed by how my christian friends worshipping God by singing this song. Now literally crying while watching this video. It's so pure and heartwarming. May peace be upon you❤

Im 26 and still single. But i truly believe in this song and the message it brings. Sometimes its worth waiting a couple more years for the right one and when you walk down that aisle you can safely say shes worth every second of the wait. After all whats a few years when you compare that to a lifetime of happiness?

I absolutely love this song! I'm 19 years old and I'm a virgin. I've heard all the lines in the books of "Why don't you just lose your virginity?" "I can change that." "Trust me you'll enjoy it." I've also gotten left by some guys because I wouldn't sleep with them within the first week of dating. I sometimes feel like an outcast because in my generation, there's so many having sex, most of the time for the wrong reasons. My body is my temple, and my love is sacred. I'm not going to just give my body away. Sex isn't just sex, it's making love. Without love there is no sex. I'm sure I'll enjoy making love once I'm married to a man that waits for it.

A boys gonna run but a man is gonna stay. Oh my word this song is sooooo perfect!!!❤❤❤

This song is equal to a full Counseling session on relationship matters,dear you did a great job and lovely voice too

This song speaks volumes!

Girl, never lower your standards for people because if they really want you that bad they have to meet your standards. There is nothing wrong to be hard to get because the right man will stay and will win your heart no matter what. Love you!

"A boy's gonna run but A man is gonna stay" That is the realest line I have ever heard!

I love the line " you cant get it back when you give yourself away " HOWEVER, I think it's important to remember that you may never get your virginity back, but you CAN start over. I had always planned to wait for marriage. But I messed up, and lost my virginity at 18. No I'm not a virgin. No I can't get it back. But I CAN start over and try again, and I CAN still choose to wait for marriage from this point on.

I'm getting married married this month and this song is perfect. I'm making him wait at the altar until this song is over then I'm walking down to him. I've waited 30 years on him so a few more minutes won't hurt :-)

Lust is not love, real love is worth waiting for. This songs explains that so well💕.

"When you find the one, the staying kind, then he won't mind if you make him wait...in his tux" Who is she? I've been waiting for a song like this!

a perfect message for all girl teenagers nowadays😊😍

This song really hit me today. My grandma passed away from cancer 1 month ago. Yesterday we remembered my grandma and put her ashes I the urn and told our favorite stories of her. When It was my grandpa's turn he broke down crying and said that the first Christmas together she had to go home to her parents unexpectedly and she sent him a letter that said even though we are apart I am with you. I love you. And choking on tears he said "I hadn't even kissed her yet" they have been married for 53 years and that is one of his favorite memories. She was worth the wait.

My daddy told me this when I was 18...best advice I've ever received. Relationships might not have all gone my way but guarding my heart has only served me well.

"yeah a boy's gonna run, but a real man's gonna stay" that got me. I needed that reminder

I just love this song so much, I wish someone has told me all this when I was younger. I made all my mistakes and learned from them all by myself and I most confess that it has not been easy an walk but thank God for his grace 🙏💖

the old people used to say “LOVE IS WORTH THE WAIT!” If he truly loves you he can wait. The problem with people and society this days. You easily give it away and sometimes you’re less respected and you end up breaking your heart.💔

Really needed to hear this today! I can make him wait cause a boys gonna run but a real man’s gonna stay.

"You can't get it back when you give yourself away" My heart. My soul. I literally did cry 😭❤️ I love this song.

"You can't get it back when you give yourself away." Say it louder for all our girls out there. Be wise, smart and cautious about this, ladies. Save your mind, body, heart and soul for the right one. ^^

I'm a godly man. This song is so cherishedly true. My beautiful daughters, obey these wise words.

WHO IS SHE! This deserves so much more recognition!! ❤❤❤

when he moved over so he could be closer to the road to make sure she was safe 😭 how cute

She made me wait a lot and got so much curiosity to really know her. Now I can't let her go she got me.

I really enjoy the message this song gives. Like yes kids nowadays are into relationships and loosing their virginity so early. And I believe that making him wait will give you both time to get to know each other and love each other . And that's what I call a beautiful relationship

This came at perfect timing for a situation I'm in right now!

when my sister is older I will definitely send her this song ♡ thank you Abby you are amazing

Finally an artist that is a true mentor for young women. Yes, require that man earn you're affection. Set boundaries from the start and please take your time. Make him win you and in return, be worth winning. Remember, mistakes are required for growth and allows you to move forward with knowledge. Regret holds you back. Make sure mistakes don't turn into regret. Make wise choices and don't do anything that you are not ready to do. If he is the right guy he will be there when you are ready.

I adore this song and the message it sends! It's not about games, it's about what matters. The ultimate test of time. Relationships are built on all of the "before". If he won't wait.. he doesn't truly adore your time like he should! So...make him wait...

Yes finally a song that reflects my opinions in relationships. Everyone I know hates the thought of playing hard to get.... I mean it's kinda a positive in some point as well right. A girl shouldn't give her heart away too easily. The man should show her and prove to her how much of a REAL man he can be. That he's not playing games. I've always been called 'old fashioned' by my friends. But really if you're too easy there's a high chance that I'll be just a game... Though a little advice to the girls playing hard to get... "DON'T BE TOO MEAN".

I can really feel this song, someone is courting on me rn and I was like "Sorry I can't have a boyfriend" and he was like "I love you so I can wait for you" he was sweet,loving and caring he respect my decisions and my words. He made me felt like I was a precious diamond, So I hope he's a man and not a boy 🙃

The girl/woman who’s worth the wait + The boy/man who can wait = It couple. Perfect couple. Gonna worth the wait!💘

This song reminds me of someone from the past. He waited for 8years to become my man and for 2 years of being in a relationship I know he loves me as I am to him. Ever since we are in a long distance relationship and I never doubt him for anything until he ends what we have. I am a kind of woman who is very much conservative and I understand that he wanted something I couldn't give. He found someone else there and I hope he's happy. He's forgiven.

In today's world, this song is desperately needed. I wish more girls (and guys) would listen and follow the words of this song. Great song, great voice needed for a generation too consumed with finding their 'soulmate' at 18.

When he switched places with her on the sidewalk😭😭😭 where are these kinds of gentlemen in my life🥺

“You can’t get it back when you give yourself away” I burst into tears at this part😭 Girls make him wait

I’m betting the dislikes are from the boys who cannot wait.

I'm seeing a lot of comments about waiting for the right one or waiting till you're married to do anything. That's an amazing thing! But for those of you who aren't virgins or have had multiple partners such as myself, you can make them wait even if you haven't made them wait before. Even if you rushed into because you wanted it, it's okay to make them wait because you are still a beautiful jem! What's not okay is letting yourself be manipulated into having sex! You don't have to wait till marriage or wait till you find the right one but make sure you make them wait for it and most of all, make sure you want it! 💜

rumor has it that he's still waiting!

This song is so different that all the other crap the mass media pushes. Not surprised it is Country Music that is the place it shows up. Great song writers. My daughter will hear it when it’s time.

A real Lady is always worth the wait. Guard her heart. Guard her purity. Guard your own heart. Remember She is someone's beloved daughter. Remember she will be someone's wife if not yours. Treat her as you would want someone to treat your future wife, until she weds you. I wait. I hope. I pray. She is out there. Worth the wait.

I just attended a free relationship class, Thank you Abby!

Waiting till marriage and God has the man for me. The title captured my attention right away. Real LOVE waits.

This song is so touching but has a motivating message to real lovers. I mostly cry a single drop of tear anytime i hear it because to us "poets" words go deeper than real and we understand them better than anything else. ABBY ANDERSON YOU EXPRESSED YOUR FEELINGS AND OURS!

This song so perfect for all the teenagers nowadays. From its title Make Him Wait it merely saying everything in life is happening for a reason. If what u want u didnt get it right a way then u have to wait patiently so that when you have it after a long time of longing for that u will surely be so happy. If we apply this for love we need to wait for the right person or for the one who truly deserves us❣️😍

I love the message of this song, because nowadays people do things so fast. Slow the time, make him wait, and he will last :D

Music industry now needs some songs with lyrics like this! So meaningful!

Sometimes making a person wait could be to late, stopping the wait could cure loneliness, depression, it could change the world

Reading through the comments and I realize that we all share the same feelings towards this song ❤ Thank you Abby and the team, you guys made a beautiful song .

probably my most favorite and CLEAN song that I have ever heard in my entire life and I could not be more thrilled!!!!!! I wanna hear more just like this one!!! Keep em coming Abby!!!!

"A boy's gonna run but a real man's gonna stay" Amen!

this song is beautiful. the message it has is bringing me to tears & i can’t stop listening to it

This song contains so much wisdom for many young girls like me. I hear other girls about giving their bodies away to their boyfriends. I even got laughed at for saying I'm gonna wait till marriage. It does make me feel like an outsider, but I know I'm saving myself for the man I'm gonna marry one day and saving myself from a heartbreak. Teenage girls~ God has a purpose and plan for you, don't give yourself away. Be patient. Everything will happen in God's timing. Thank you for this song!

This song just made me emotional, not a lot of songs can do that! this is one beautiful song!

Dad crying, mom smiling Dry rice 🍚 in the air and that tin thrown away!! Indian culture ❤️

Brand new first time dad of a daughter here. You hit me in the feels. Thanks, Abby.

Thank you for writing this song! ❤ It's a message girls and women and everybody needs especially now, after years and years of cultural brainwashing pushing the opposite.

When he put her on his other side so she wasn’t by the road, YES GOALS

Why did I tear up 😢 this song is how every real relationships should be “don’t give yourself easily your worth so much more.. most love story’s that goes slowly end in a happy way just enjoy love and all the sweet moments with your special someone and let that someone earn your love ... so you can be sure that they are it for you” “ I loved this song so much thank you for making this beautiful song it’s everything I needed to hear “

love to see a young lady proud to send a wholesome message like this, wrapped in a beautiful song

She has so many blessings!! Talent, beauty, voice

What a GREAT song for such a young heart! Set that example girl! You're a pioneer!

This is honestly one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard ❤️

Why did I just find out that this song exist!!! Thank you! Thank you so much for whoever that wrote this song, sing or be involved in this song! I love it

I have such a hard time with waiting and "making" him wait, I'm quick to rush into someone. Glad I came across this song! I hope I can learn how to slow down and enjoy each moment I have!

I have to put this on repeat because it just made me sooo happy that in an era where Making Him Wait is sooo unpopular, I find this absolutely amazing song!! I Love Love Love it...Thank you so much for this song

"A boy's gonna run, but a real man's gonna stay" ❤️❤️

This is an absolutely beautiful song that I just shared with my 14 year old daughter. Thank you Abby!

Omg! These are values, which bring continents closer to each other. Thank you @Abby

"Make him wait" best way to find out if he really loves you. 'Cause true love can wait forever. ^_^

This is a wonderful song! I was thinking lately we always see in the movies people hooking up on the first date and I wonder what happened to getting to know each other, go on dates, holding hands, kiss and daydream? Don't rush into anything and give yourself the time to think things through and feel 🤗

Amen, to my little sisters make him wait. This song is gold

This song made me cry... thank you for writing it... It is so true! True love lasts forever

This song.... Makes me cry . I want to sing it for karaoke to my daughter . but I don't think I can get the word out. I'll cry so hard. This is a hard song

Heard this on the radio today and instantly fell in love with it. Gonna send it to my daughter.

I hope my daughter will do better than I did, I wish I had done this. I am now learning it as a mother in my late 20's. God offers forgiveness and the ability to learn, I am thankful for this.

Wow! Beautiful song. Such true words . Real true love is always worth the wait. You are worth waiting for, make him wait! Respecting yourself goes along way. God has that right person for you and when your paths cross you will be so glad you waited!

LOVE this song! God bless, girl!!

Lycris to this beautuful Song❤ When he calls you, you don't have to answer right away make him wait And when he small talks before he asks you on a date Make him wait When his Pontiac's in the driveway and his eyes are midnight blue Take a deep breath, do the opposite of what you wanna do Make him wait, by the phone At the door to meet your dad. Before that first kiss, he's gotta hold your hand You can't get it back when you give yourself away Yeah boys gonna run but a real man's gonna stay. Girl, make him wait Mmhmmmm, make him wait. And when he says that, it'd be easier if you just stayed the night Make him wait. (Mmhmmmm). Your gonna wanna, if you think you just might Make him wait, oooohhhh Make him wait, by the phone At the door to meet your dad. Before that first kiss, he's gotta hold your hand. You can't get it back when you give yourself away Yeah boys gonna run but a real man's gonna stay Girl, Make him wait Oohhhhh, make him wait. They taught me that love is worth the weight in gold Like that ring on your hand, so When you find the one that stays and calls Then he won't mind If you make him wait, in his Tux Cellos sing you down the aisle Walk slow, take your time While your daddy cries, and your momma smiles And they're throwin' rice into the air And those tin cans roll away And you look into his eyes, and realize it's worth the while to make him wait Make him wait.

I saw Abby perform this acoustically on piano in Boston last Thursday and it is such a beautiful song! I had to come back and give it another listen!

My crush and me has mutual feelings and we promised each other to stay as a friend for now and to prioritize studying. After we graduate in college and get some decent job, we plan to be together. 😁😁 Also, I already introduced him to my dad and family. While his mother knows me. 😊 If things didn't work out we promised to stay as a friend and keep supporting each other's happiness. ☺️

Wow.. loved it.. truest test is to make him wait and see if he stays.. that's how u know u got a man

i love this song. it has such a strong meaning. good job :)

Merci Abby pour ce moment de plaisir! Dès que je l'ai découvert,je l'écoute en boucle! Magnifique!!! Merci encore!

This song is so meaningful for young girl who so desperate to find love...take your time and make him wait..so true...this song bring tears to my eyes.."you can get it back,when you giveb it away....

I so love this song!!! This is how it should be. The video was perfectly matched. Beautiful voice and amazing song! Thank you.

That's a beautiful song with a great message and you have a beautiful voice!

When Abby Anderson said..."yeah a boy's gotta run but a real man's gotta stay"....I felt that

This sound is so wonderful. The person who is reading this comment, I wish you great success, health, love and happiness!

When he calls you, you don't have to answer right away, make him wait And when he small talks, before he asks you on a date, make him wait When his Pontiac's in the driveway and his eyes are midnight blue Take a deep breath Do the opposite of what you wanna do, make him wait By the phone, at the door to meet your dad before that first kiss He's gotta hold your hand You can't get it back when you give yourself away Yeah boys gonna run but a real man's gonna stay Girl, make him wait Mmhmmmm, make him wait And when he says that, it'd be easier if you just stayed the night Make him wait. (Mmhmmmm) Your gonna wanna, if your thinkin' you just might But, make him wait, oooouuu Make him wait, by the phone At the door, to meet your dad Before that first kiss, he's gotta hold your hand You can't get it back, when you give yourself away Yeah boys gonna run but a real man's gonna stay Girl, make him wait Oooou, make him wait They taught me that love is worth the weight in gold Like that ring on your hand, so When you find the one that stays and calls Then he won't mind If you make him wait, in his Tux Cellos sing you down the aisle Walk slow, take your time While your daddy cries, and your momma smiles And they're throwin' rice into the air And those tin cans roll away And you look into his eyes, and realize It's worth the while To make him wait Make him wait
