Call me old-fashioned, call me jealous, whatever, but high schoolers are not supposed to be dating. The purpose of dating, so to speak, is marriage, and high schoolers, and generally even some college kids, aren't supposed to be dating on a lark, for fun. Instead of sitting around and mooning after guys, why don't most girls just try to make themselves into the best version of themselves that they can be? Instead of trying to find love as a trial-by-error kind of thing, why don't we focus on deepening their relationship with God? And instead of sitting and crying about chick flicks (I might be being a bit harsh, I can't stand chick flicks... give me LOTR anyday xD), we should be making ourselves into the holy woman that we would wish holy men fall in love with. So, I couldn't agree with you more. xD And I'm done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031891543804711260.post-63970911599788650412015-02-14T19:16:42.583-08:002015-02-14T19:16:42.583-08:00I love this!
