Relationship cravings

   
   Gosh I really need a boyfriend! I am not the first girl in history to have this thought and I certainly won't be the last. It happens when you're feeling sad...or want someone to vent to....or are lonely...or everyone around you seems to be in coupled bliss. And you only see the sunshine and rainbows that come with having a significant other. You only see the cuteness and the mushiness and the happiness. You are ready to settle for anything with an XY chromosome that has no aversion towards you.

   But you forget that he may have annoying habits. He may be rude to your family. He might have nothing in common with you. You might fight. You might not like his choice of friends. You forget that relationships are messy. You forget that there is a good reason to be picky about guys. You don't have to be 'happily married' at 22, a few more years won't kill you. You don't have to settle just for the sake.

Songs of Solomon 8:4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.

   So have fun, bond with your friends and family, build your relationship with God, concentrate on school/work, Etc. Not necessarily in that order, but you get my point? Do all the things you can do right now since your time isn't being taken up by the nurturing of a relationship. Take advantage of your singleness and do what you can while you can. Because I believe that there is a time for everything and maybe right now isn't your time.
