sometimes i want that too, and it seems silly to me, or like i'm asking for too much for all of the things that i would want in someone. or the specific people that i would want. but at the same time, i know it's unfair to myself to settle for anything less than what i would want. keep that in mind in the search, mandy. never settle for anything less than your ideal. you should demand perfection because you, darling, are quite perfect yourself.
alison --- i'd never settle for someone. i just want someone. i'm not saying that the first person that's like "me! me!" i'll be like "ok, why not? they want me, might as well." i'm just saying that i wish there were options, and i wish there were offers like that sometimes. because i'm starting to feel that after 22 years of absolutely nothing in that department, the well's running dry and i might be alone forever. depressing, isn't it?
Never! The well can't run dry... there's a secret spring for when that happens, and it always refill that darn well. I like to look at the relationship/offers kind of as a pool of stagnant water. It takes someone tossing a pebble to create some waves. I wish you all the luck with finding someone to toss that pebble. It's going to happen... trust me, I know these things. Any who, you deserve it, you've been patient for long enough.
it is a depressing thought for me as well, but i doubt both of us will be alone forever. we'll always have each other and those nights on the beach in tahiti...
Allison and Jessica are right! And I have to agree that the "well can't run dry!" Although I still understand how you feel. Even if I have had two relationships in my entire life, I feel sometimes that my 22 years of age is going to turn into being alone forever. But I know God has a plan for everything and I'm sure there's a wonderful young many out there just DYING to be with you! (not literally dying... cause well... then that would suck cause he would just end up dying... and then... well you get the picture! :) Anyways..... ) I wish you the best of luck and don't let it get you down! Whenever I start feeling the way you are I look at the here and now and realize how much I love my friends and wouldn't want things to be different. And then I decide that I'm going to live my life to the the fullest and not dwell on things and eventually God will bring that special "someone" into my life. I love ya friend! Keep your chin up! :)
Relationships are over-rated and most definitely not a vital part of having a successful experience here on earth. You are 22 years old. If you feel that a relationship will fill that MASSIVE VOID (sarcasm) in your life, then you are dead wrong. I remember a SALT sermon given by Ken a couple months back talking about relationships and the like. In the sermon, Ken said something that stuck with me and made me alot happier about being where I'm at. Desire itself is a creation of God, and those desires are given to you because, along with everything else in this universe, they were made by God. Our duty as humans on this earth are to seek God and have a relationship with Him first. There is a Bible verse that says 'Seek and ye shall find.' Another verse as well that says 'Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.' God has placed those desires in all our lives and by seeking Him first He will fulfill those desires. Work first and foremost on your relationship with God and He will

relationships ARE overrated. but that doesn't mean that sometimes we all don't want one... especially when we really like someone or want to like them or want to find someone to like.
but my point is that romantic relationships aren't necessary to have a fun, happy life. If the point of life were to find a romantic "other" and be in a relationship with said "other" then life flat out sucks. I want a relationship the same as the next person. Having had one or two in the past, myself, I can say they are great, and I am a great relationship guy. I dunno... I can only say, from my experience, that having a relationship is something that I look forward to having, but if it doesn't happen, then so what. I am happy with me here and now. Because a romantic relationship is not the be all, end all in my life. And I know it doesn't seem like it all the time, God is. But whatever. I just don't want anyome getting down on themselves or their life simply because of lack of romance. There is too much out there to enjoy.
