I never really thought much about dating or had boyfriends all through high school and college. I am extremely independent (and perhaps run in the artsy crowd as well). I did almost everything by myself. If I wanted to see a movie, I went by myself. If I wanted to eat breakfast and sip on some coffee, I went with myself and my book. Then I came to Southern Seminary, and I was immediately made to feel as if something was wrong with me until I got married. All of a sudden, it seemed as if all conversations, all interactions, everything somehow came down to dating. I was really wierded out... particularly by the way people talked about dating, as if it were some cosmological or mysitcal event. <BR/><BR/>Christine, don't let the chatter change you. (And from reading what you wite, I don't think it will.) And that';s all I have to say about that!Alex & Laura Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05590700471330186780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11674728.post-1126924551714738402005-09-17T12:35:00.000+10:002005-09-17T12:35:00.000+10:00awww- that's kinda cute, Dawn.

Leslie! I wouldn't know how to react! i...oh dear. Leslie! I wouldn't know how to react! it's never happened to me before. Oh sure, elderly black men have come up to me in Barnes and Noble and asked me if I was married, but ... i'm a bit odd when it comes to the whole dating scene ... at the risk of starting a new "ruckus" ... you'll find that I'm the one that girls come to talk to when they need advice on relationships. Guys even come to me to get a girl's point of view. <BR/><BR/>But no one ever asks ME out.<BR/><BR/>And I like it that way.<BR/><BR/>I'm a bit puzzled by the American fascination with dating. Some pursue the passtime in an effort to meet their future mate. But some ... are just looking for a DATE. "Well ... another Friday night and no date," has been the lament on many lips. This boggles my mind. I don't understand it. Can't these people call up their friends to go to a movie, or a bookstore and look at picture books of places they've dreamed of going, or go to some random festival in town? Why do they feel inadequate as a human being if they've not gone on a date?<BR/><BR/>But then again, this is coming from a girl who has never dated ... never really wanted to. It was a never a major part of my life. In high school, I was homeschooled and our church consisted of 5 year olds and 30 year olds and then ME. In college, all of my friends and I were artists so we all just hung out in the art labs together, no one really dated. Now, I'm here and I'm confronted with it everyday! I hear the girls down the hall talk about it ... my friends caution me about it ... and for the first time I feel pressured to engage in this American tradition.<BR/><BR/>Yet, like a sailor in the midst of a storm, I have tied myself to the mast of a dream.<BR/><BR/>Convinced that God has grown me into the woman I am today, I know He will be faithful and will continue His good work in me.<BR/><BR/>Now ... let's get back to the silliness.ckjollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263260525667337446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11674728.post-1126900229585602522005-09-17T05:50:00.000+10:002005-09-17T05:50:00.000+10:00maybe a guy will use a pick-up line on you!!!(ok, ...maybe a guy will use a pick-up line on you!!!<BR/><BR/>(ok, I know you said to stop, but I couldn't help myself)lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05330219818604904671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11674728.post-1126892750323907472005-09-17T03:45:00.000+10:002005-09-17T03:45:00.000+10:00That wasn't a hokey pickup line, Nikki!

She makes some valid points. And, I know that you appreciate her insights b/c you have endorsed her message w/ a hearty AMEN! <BR/>So, I respond - Would you like to go out?

I struck quite a chord with the Seminary scene by discussing the topic of dating on my blog last year. It was weird and sad and entertaining and hurtful and lots of things. Dr. Moore posted in agreement. So did Dr. Plummer. Lots of married guys agreed with me. Some single guys agreed with me. Some sinlge guys were really upset with me. It seemed like the whole campus was buzzing. Nikki actually met her fiance as a result of my blog entry on dating. Well, you can't actually read it anymore, b/c I ended up taking the post off several months after I posted it. But I'll be happy to tell you about the drama.Alex & Laura Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05590700471330186780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11674728.post-1126812034060622672005-09-16T05:20:00.000+10:002005-09-16T05:20:00.000+10:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06180252925063479428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11674728.post-1126762580865429762005-09-15T15:36:00.000+10:002005-09-15T15:36:00.000+10:00No Donna ...

Knowing that a guy cares about who I really am compliments so much more than the one who I can tell is just wanting someone who will make THEM look good. <BR/>Cheesy pick-ups? How about when a young guy downtown Atl. unbooted my car free of charge after telling me his ex-wife was a blonde too, and could also be pretty dumb (this after I'd naively thought I could pay parking at the end of the day, instead of as I parked...). He sure enjoyed making me sweat that one out as I petitioned him to let penny-less me off this one time, and he said so. He said I owed him one. I said maybe I'd bake him cookies.

I'm Will....God's Will.<BR/><BR/>And now back to the serious....<BR/>I have a huge issue with the drama that is dragged into the relationship scene. We make this huge deal out of liking a person and if they don't feel the same way our life is over. How silly. One thing that I have learned is that rejection doesn't always have to be a bloody mess. If you are honest with eachother and act like adults (meaning if a girl likes you boys but you don't feel the same, that's fine with her. she is content with being your friend. don't freak out.)Integrity is huge. Be honest. If two people don't have the same attraction then it's ok. Really. It is possible for both parties to be completely normal and be great friends. Sometimes you just have to get the feelings in the open and dealt with before you can be amazingly great friends. I know. I've been there. If you want to know the story, ask me. I will tell you down to the last detail.<BR/><BR/>So what is my point in all this? Simply (actually probably not simply) that gaurding my heart and guys hearts is not the easiest thing and I mess up. If the person you are attracted to doesn't feel the same, and he or she is a godly person, then trust his/her intrgrity. Most of the time it has more to do with what God has called him/her to than a lack of attraction to you. There are plenty of guys that are attractive to me that my flesh says "ooo I would date him, he's godly, fun, and handsome" but my God says, " The two of you are called to different things and are not meant for each other. Wait."<BR/><BR/><BR/>--All of that was from an old post of mine(Dec 13, 2003)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11674728.post-1126748630055535252005-09-15T11:43:00.000+10:002005-09-15T11:43:00.000+10:00Sorry, Christine, but you have been blog--tagged! ...Sorry, Christine, but you have been blog--tagged!
