i hate this topic.. but what the heck..
Ya know.. I was gonna just let y'all know how I'm doin and everything.. but I decided to rant on something that's been botherin me and I know many others as well..
DATING OUTSIDE THE FAITH
Now.. as most of you know, I'm not exactly in agreement w/ dating outside the faith. But it's gettin to the point where some things need to be said to help get out the doubt that there may not be a guy for me in God's Church. It's come to my attention that a lot of the ladies are lookin elsewhere.. not exactly serious w/ outside guys, but still keepin them as options. "Maybe God will call him, or He's already workin w/ him, and I'm supposed to be a light." I'm sure most of us have said that at some point, but how often does that happen? Should we assume God won't give us someone who's already proven themselves faithful? Maybe the opposite gender in the faith just isn't what we're lookin for. I know most of us aren't livin the way we should, and I'm just as guilty as the next person when it comes to that. A lot of friends of mine (and I myself) are gettin to the realization that the guys in the church aren't what they're "supposed" to be. That being: Godly, sweet, polite, mature, etc. Not one of us should have to go date outside the church to find someone who acts as they should and will treat us w/ respect. I know I'm not all I should be either, so I don't want the guys to think this is a bash aimed to them. I'm just sayin we all need a wake up call. Maybe we'd find that someone special if we put God first and lived His way rather than our own. The guys I'm havin the pleasure of meeting at college thus far are more well-behaved and/or even nicer than a lot of the guys I know from Church. That totally disgusts me. I should feel more comfortable w/ the church guys rather than ones outside the faith. I think we should all step up and start livin right so we won't want to look outside anymore. DMSR is helping promote a way to have successful relationships, and basically straightenin us ladies out, gettin rid of some of our annoying tweaks.. what will they do for us? Don't get me wrong, I totally support The DMSR (http://www.dmsr.org) and those guys are some of my favorites, but come on guys.. help the ladies out as well. Teach the guys how to behave around us, approach us, etc. It's a much needed step in the relationship process. The ladies need church guys to be respectful rather than rude or even inappropriate. I'll work on my behavior, attitude, appearance, etc.. hoping you'll work on yours.
