dating application 2006

perhaps if we single folks took the time to get to know each other and ask those important questions up front, there would be a better sucess rate in long-term relationships and marriages. the following "dating application" was forwarded to me by some friends. it is funny, but i don't see why they couldn't be adapted for real dating world use:

smart girls are sexy

ladies! if you're thinking about "dumbing" yourself down because you think it'll help you get a man. you're so wrong! don't, under any circumstance, think that playing it less intelligent is gonna get you anywhere. it's unattractive to guys. really it is. how do i know? because my guy pal rw told me so.

so there. a chick with brains is something that is still desired by the opposite sex. just in case you're wondering. now go be your smart, sassy selves and go get 'em.

be smart. be blessed.

close but no cigar...

so i've been communicating with a really nice person via the match site. it's eerie how questions i thought about sending, but didn't, were sent for me to answer by him. our preferences, likes, dislikes and beliefs were so in vibe. and even though the communication at this point was going well, i still couldn't help feeling that the other shoe was going to drop any minute.

so we're chugging along with our "stages of communication" and i decide to go ahead and get the BIG question out the way. at least it's a big one for me. i know with the way things are with society now that's having sex outside of marriage really isn't such a big deal. but it's a pretty big deal to me. so i asked this awesome guy how he felt about abstinence and if he felt that it would be a problem for him in a relationship. now i already knew deep down inside what his answer was going to be. but somewhere in the back of my naive little mind i hoped it would be different. sort of hoping against hope.

well, folks, three guesses what the answer was. that's right! that is problem for him. surprise, surprise. now i'm not mad. i'm actually glad that he was honest enough to answer my question. since i was bold enough to ask. i'm not one for surprises so it's better for me to find out now, than be involved and sorely disappointed and heartbroken down the road. the other shoe dropped.

so what am i do to now? well. i don't want to kill a friendship that's barely begun. however, i can't continue on knowing full well that my decision to remain virtuous will be a strain on our relationship. so, if he answers back, i'll have to let him know i stand firm in my decision and if there's no way he can remain celibate, we really won't have a chance. i'll wish him all the best and hope that he finds that special someone he's looking for. unfortunately, it will not be me.

i was chatting with masumi and telling her how i sometimes feel like i'm being punished in some way for my decision. despite all my guy friends telling me that what i'm doing (or not doing) is a wonderful thing. really? then why does crap like this keep happening to me? i meet a really nice person. we hit it off and get along famously until that subject of sex comes up. i share my beliefs and then it's splitsville. i'm not going to back down from my choice. there's really no compromising on this here.

why? because i feel this is what is right for me. my virtue is a gift that i can only give away once and i only plan to share that with my husband. i firmly believe sex between two people is a beautiful experience, but an experience that should only be shared between husband and wife. i believe God wouldn't want it any other way. i make no apologies for that.

i believe i'll be blessed by my obedience to God in that respect. i pray that He'll send someone who'll love me and Him enough to abstain. because i'm doing the same.

be firm in your beliefs. be blessed.
