Warning! Guys/men/boys, if you read this you may be extremely bored and never read my posts again so...you don't have to read this if you don't want to as with all the other posts. Anyway..
I found this on a quote when I was looking for a layout.“If you want to see a rainbow,
You must go through the rain.
If you want true love,
You must go through the pain.”
What a sad thing to say! Is that what everyone who dates thinks? They sure do go through pain! I have wished from time to time that I could date but even more I’ve been glad that I don’t date because of the awful things I see people go through and do to each other.
Once on the way to a drama outreach, this girl sat in the van with us, called her boyfriend [for all to hear] and broke up with him right then and there. [That was after telling her friends how weird he had been acting—I heard it all even though she’s not my friend.] Then she proceeded to pass the phone around to everyone [except me, of course] and let them talk to him! Geez! This one boy said that the guy she’d broken up with was crying.
Now that I think back on that, I should have asked for her cell phone and said, “She doesn’t deserve you.” What she did was AWFUL! I don’t know if/that he’d done anything to deserve that but geez! That was so mean!
But even the normal break-ups are painful.
The steps of the cycle to me seems to be [tell me if I missed something]:
1. Boy meets girl.
2. Boy asks girl out [or even vice versa these days].
3. Boy and girl are extremely happy to be together and show off how they “love” each other by showering the other with affection. They talk on the phone all the time.
5. Boy/girl break up leaving, at least, one with a broken heart.
6. [Repeat cycle with another boy or girl after maybe or maybe not waiting a while.]
And some start this cycle at 13 years or younger! It sounds so sad.
You must be wondering, “If you don’t date—how are you going to find Mr. Right?” I shall answer that for you as best as I can. When I’m 18 [maybe I can convince my parents at 17—or not, I don’t know] I will start taking applications—no, I’m just kidding!What my parents want for me [which sounds good to me] is for me to meet and become friends with a guy. [That way I can get to know him in group activities so I know what he’s really like.] Then if we think/know [IDK] that we love each other I’m pretty sure that’s when he asks to start dating/courting/whatevering me. We start going over to each other’s family’s houses for dinner and having activities with the other families.
I think it would be fun to drink out of the same cup [see above]. I wonder if it's as cool as it looks on t.v./movies? Anyways... I’m kind of afraid what my Dad’s going to do to my guy but I don’t know because I’ve never dated [maybe there is a downside to not dating—you don’t know how your Dad’s going to fry your guy when he comes over]. I understand that my Dad wants the best for me and wants to protect me; I am just NOT sure what to expect. He says he’ll be nice but then he’ll start teasing me about things he’s going to do so…I don’t know.
After time goes by and my guy and I get to know each other better, then if we decide that we’re meant for each other and all that, I guess he’ll propose and we’ll get married. I'll get to finally kiss the guy and it shall be loverly...
Wow…I am NOT ready to get married. I’ll be 17 this October! AHHHHH! Then the next year, 18! AHHHH! I have to get ready just in case the guy shows up the day I turn 18 [LOL]! I’m a little frightened. Okay, I need to start working on my wifing skills [I made that word up all by myself]. Maybe I should learn how to cook more than just blond brownies and grilled cheese sandwiches…hmm…Probably a good idea…Okay, I’m in trouble.
I need to get busy!
P.S.
Here's an interesting quote:
“Dating just to have fun is like drinking just to get drunk. Someone always gets hurt in the end and when you look back there's never anything good you can remember.”

P.S.P.S. Quiz I took...

I'm so glad I don't date. It's so sad! My sister has neighbor friends who are 11 years old, and they are already dating. Already complaining about break-ups and what not. It's depressing! Have you ever read "I kissed dating goodbye"? I love that book with a passion. And highly recommend it. It rocks my socks off. I'm so glad I read it!
I think you should use your teen years to grow close to God, anyway... instead of dating and trying to figure everything out that way. :P
