Okay, after I write this, I am going to study...its 12:17am...but I'm a college student, so its okay...it's what college kids do. But I must write all this...and please take this as advice on what not to do in your life. And guys--take this as when you even give the slightest bit "nice" attention to a girl and you aren't interested in her "that way", she immediately thinks that you do, or at least thinks that there might be a chance between you and her. So be careful!! And girls, don't assume things so quickly. Here's what I did. A great looking golfer (of whom I didn't know of before) signs my autograph at a golf competition and asks me "how I was" and glances up at me and then proceeds to sign more autographs. At that moment, I did not think that he liked me. But when I researched about him, I found out that he was this incredibly awesome Christian and immediately thought that he was "the one". Yes guys--girls think about marriage LONG before you do, and in my case, before I actually talk to this guy. And my reality is, I am not really "in love" with him or that he is the one, I am just in love with the story of how it is, because I am a hopeless romantic due to too many romantic comedies that have distorted my view of dating and marriage, and how it is all going to play out. And really, I wanted to have a fairy tale romance so badly that I have convinced myself that this must be right. I mean, what girl doesn't want to meet an incredibly hot and prince charming-type guy to sweep her off her feet? But-the truth is, we need to have a godly perspective of all this, and not a perspective based on the world, and that is what I have done, and am telling you to avoid. Watch out that those romantic comedies and books do not distort your view of the Lord's plan for your life. And guys--don't even give a girl the slightest bit of interest in her if you don't, because if she is like me, she will automatically think that you like her (as I have said before) and then get mad at you if you don't...but that doesn't mean its okay for the girl to do that. Please respond.
