I tell people that I will not go on a date until I go on one with my husband. Why? Am I just weird? Well…yes, I am. Thanks for noticing. However that is not the reason. When the term dating is mentioned, the first thought is usually a guy and a girl, alone, in an uncontrolled setting focusing on each other. And that, I will not do until I am married. Will I go on dates before then? Yes, and no. Simply because I don’t know how else to term it, yes. I will do things with one as we consider the will of God concerning marriage together. However, not in the way the world views dating. I won't ever be alone no matter where we be.
Now, I could go off on the dangers of the dating system. In fact, I was heading that way, however I believe we may have just made a detour. I am very passionate about some things. Positive or negative. I don't normally get worked up over a certain subject, but I can. And when I do, you know it. Things like Pinterest and locker rooms; Any of my pet peeves, Little Debbie Zebra Cakes or my best friend. As indecisive as I am, I have strong opinions on some things. Guy/Girl drama isn't one of my most extreme, but I have my moments. To see eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen year old girls obsessing over who likes them, or crushing on the latest boy band or actor I want to question the future. 0_o You're TWELVE! (Don't think if you're fifteen this doesn't apply. -_0 ) Or how about fifteen, sixteen, seventeen year olds who have a new girlfriend/boyfriend every week. "They're perfect." You've known them how long?! Two days? A week later, it's a new person. Are you kidding me?!
