dating

I don't know what it is with people these days who just go out and date anyone they find themselves attracted to. I really don't get it. To me, if you are going to date someone, they have to have at least some of the qualities you would look for in a future spouse. What is the point of going out with someone if you have zero intention of anything long-term?

The world will try and tell you that you should just go with the flow and date around and see what happens but I really don't believe in that. I think everything you do, every decision you make, should be prayed about and only when God's will is in line with your heart's desire should you take a step forward into a relationship.

Gemma, I know exactly what you're saying. I had a falling out with one of my oldest friends over this. She honestly could not respect my opinions and choices enough to avoid an argument.

It's sad how many people view dating as something so disposable, as something to simply pass the time. I have nothing against dating, but like you, I feel that there's no point in hooking up just for the sake of hooking up.

Thankfully my immediate family supports my choices, but my friends and those I meet in university do not.
