Love is a foolish thing. It makes people do the sillest of things for the other person, it causes one to lose control of oneself emotionally at times. Yet, we all still fall in love one time or another. When we are at this age of seeing our friends getting attached, we want to jump in the bandwagon to follow suite. Some may look for flings, thinking that it is fun whereas there are some of us who won't because we would get emtionally attached to the person.

Relationships are the stepping stone toward us growing up and learning more about this thing called love. My bestie had asked me to re-read the book "I kissed Dating Goodbye". It's all about dating only when I am ready for marriage. Truth be told, all my life I wanted to marry young and I always wanted a relationship to last a few years before progressing toward marriage. Relationships are so fragile because we change with the times. What may interest us today, may not interest us tomorrow and this can be applied toward relationships as well. Seriously, the person whom we think is THE ONE may not be THE ONE for us tomorrow. We cannot make up our minds. Hence, my wanting to be in a relationship for a couple of years first before marriage.

You know when they say opposite attracts, I truly wonder if this statement is true. You see, being too different from the other person creates tension and when there's tension, things cannot be accomplished. We weren't be able to fully trust each other because of our emotional make up and we might just end up being hurt at the end of the day.

Much as I say I am leaving it to God to send me THE ONE, in my heart I always pray that THE ONE would appear soon. It's not easy to say that my plans are the plans that God has planned for me because I'm truly unsure of that. Walking in tandem with God would help ease the anxieties and uncertainties but I always ask myself, would I be obedient enough to follow the path that has been laid before me.

God's perspective of dating should be my perspective as well. As I find the right words to utter to the different people, I pray that when the time comes for me when the knot within my hurt to be undone, we will all be willing to follow what God has to say to us. Yes, waiting can be a pain but please be patient because slowly but surely, God's plan for what we are praying about would be answered in time to come. Let's open our eyes and ears toward God - He talks to us. I believe and trust that He will to you too.
