I've been watching the Bachelor this season with Jason and Ty (his son). Personally I think the idea is neat...but I'm not sure if I would have the guts to go on that show and "fall in love" in what? 9 weeks? I do understand that some people do find love that way and in other ways like online dating and I respect that. I do.
I have recently deleted my subscription to all of my online dating sites, which were mostly Christian--just so you know. My friend, Lindsey, gave me some much needed perspective and told me that I probably shouldn't be on there. She told me that if God wanted me to meet someone, He would bring him to me. And I should believe her. I do believe her. I want to believe her. So I deleted all of my sites except Facebook and Myspace, because I don't use those for dating.
I talk to friends who are in relationships and if they've been dating for a while and are thinking about marriage, they say, sometimes, that "I'm not ready"...or "I can't wait". But why wouldn't you want to be married and live a life with someone who you love and want to be with? And where, for that matter, do I find this, so called, man? I feel like the only places that I will meet him will be at church, any kind of store, or friends...and a couple of these options don't sound very promising as of right now.
*sigh* Am I being stupid about this? Everyone wants to find that one person that they will spend the rest of their life with, right? So, naturally, I'm wanting the same thing.
So when I talk about this, I feel so bad because I should be focusing on our Lord as my best friend and the Lover of my soul. I just don't know. urgh.
That is my rant.
