This is beginning to be a common occurrence with ne acquaintances. It always comes around, the relationship questions, and I end up providing people with my entire life philosophy. Well, if anything, I'm getting better at it.
I am conservative when it comes to relationships. I don't want to screw anything up. I am unsure what the difference between dating and engagement is in our modern times. Both contain loyalty, but dating is not thought of as eternal, making me believe it to be damaging. I don't understand where the lines should be drawn when a relationship becomes physical. I don't even know if a relationship should be physical before marriage.
And it's conversations like this, with people of all religions and beliefs, that make me want to leave Bryn Athyn. I want to learn something, and not be told the same things. I want to have rational discussions. I know so little about things and have such limited views on things. I need to experience life so that I can form my own ideas and learn things for myself.
