The Random Ramblings of a Teenage Jesus Freak
Nov. 14, 2007
Dear Teen

Ok, so after my last post I had some girls agree with me and that's great, but I had one person disagree. Here's what he or she wrote.

What if I don't agree? I dont understand what's wrong with talking to guys or saying he's cute, or going out with him if you're careful.

In my last post I didn't say that there was anything wrong with talking to guys or saying that they're cute. I have some guy friends that I'm relativly close to, and I will admit that I often find myself saying that certain guys are cute. What I don't agree with is girls or guys practically throwing themselves at other girls or guys.

When God created Adam he made one woman for him to be with. One. Singular. Not plural. God could have made several different women for Adam to choose from, but he didn't. If Adam had done what many people in out society do, then it would have meant that, if Adam had chosen Eve, their relationship would be...incomplete. God designed us to be able to give our whole hearts to the one person He has created for us to be with. When you date, even if you're careful, then you risk giving away a part of you that is meant for the person you're going to share your entire life with.

If you have any comments please feel free to post them. I'm open to anything you want to say, whether it's with or against my position. God bless!

I think its really bad that girls do that.But you should not because every boy you date and fall in love with takes a part of you heart and after a while what do you have left for you husband?!Hope this helps.

I agree with you. In my choir, a lot of times you couldn't get near the guys because of all of the girls hanging around them. Their flirting was disgusting!

When you do that, date, or flirt, or whatever, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. When the guy moves, or stops attending the same social functiuns as you do, your heart breaks, because you thought you had something going there. Where really, the guy was just enjoying the attention.

Once you have dated someone, and then stop that relationship, you are going to have that hanging about you for the rest of your life. When you see your old boyfriend/girlfriend on the street, you will be embarrassesd, and angry, and even when the anger is gone you will still have the embarrasment.

Well, I think I have talked long enough. A good book to read on the subject is "I Kissed Dating Goodbye", by Joshua Harris. I really enjoyed it, and it helped me a lot on this subject.

Hi!

My name's Becca too! :) I just found your blog off of someone else's.

I totally agree. I talk to guys, and I'll say that a certain guy is cute, or something like that. But I don't date, and I don't have crushes. I don't want to give the guy I marry a broken up, used up, not-whole heart!

I'm sorry if I came off too strong. :)

I'm going to add you to my friends list.... is that okay?

Our family doesn't do the dating thing, none of us go around being really social with any boys either. I don't really talk to boys all that much, in fact I don't think I've had a real, complete conversation with a boy ever. xD Not because I've been told not to but just because my parents never urged me to worry about finding someone, I'm leaving it to God to bring the right person around.

I think your views are dead on RIGHT. I feel similarly; my parents never dated anybody before they met, and they were engaged three days after their first date together!!
I have to say, though, that I believe dating is OK to do, provided you don't go overboard with "trying" this guy and that guy and you don't act like girlfriend/boyfriend. I think it is okay to say, "oh that guy's kinda cute" now and then [although I prefer the word "handsome" :P]. But like you, I HATE it when girls are all gushy and simpering over a group of guys. It makes me sick. Is that their goal in life, to have "hot" guys notice them?
I pray everyday that, if it is God's will I should marry, He sends me a loving, kind, God-fearing boy who I will give my whole heart to and who will give his whole heart to me.
Would you like to be friends?
