Conversation at Taco Bueno
"This will be fun!" Susan put her elbows on the table and leaned in to speak to me. "So, any potential little boyfriends in the group?"
"For you?" I asked, picking a loose piece of lettuce off the table.
"No," she laughed, looking at the guy sitting next to her. "Already got one. I meant for you."
"Oh... no."
"Aww, Carey."
"I see no point in dating right now. When I do, it will be to pursue a serious relationship. I don't want to just 'date around.'"
"Oh..." Susan stared at me with a blank look. "That's... a good idea. That's smart." She turned to the others and quickly changed the subject. I returned to quietly eating my fajita.

Amen! It is sad that it should meet such a response.
I love fajitas!
Amen Carey. "Dating" is for a purpose of marriage. It is serious.
I hear ya! I don't want to just date around either.
So glad I have some kindred spirits! Wish you two lived closer.
Move to the Northeast and we would both be closer! ;)
Yeah, I don't plan on dating around either... not like I'm old enough yet. Then again, most kids in the public school start "dating" at around 4th or 5th grade.
Angie - I'd like to move to the Northwest. Maybe after I finish my BA.
Nella - That a girl! 4th and 5th grade?! Whoah. I remember thinking my peers crazy when they dated in junior high. Even some of the girls I disciple are "dating" (but not when I'm through with them).
Danielle - Thank you. That's one of the best compliments I could ever receive.
Ah.
Well.
Your views on dating are very wise.
Well, thats a way to kill a conversation. :D
Haha. You can continue if you like, Robert. Please feel free to present your opinions on this subject.
You watch and wait. There are ways of getting to know a person quite well without actually going on a "date."
Watch - for me this is usually a very long period of time. How does he act around his friends? Parents? Siblings? Younger children? Authority? There is so much you can't find out by just "going out."
Wait - If this really is the person God has for you, then your lives will, in a sense, "parallel." You will be heading in the same direction. Marriage is two people running a race together.
Dating around is really pointless if you believe that God has someone picked out for you. There is no need for you to "look for that special someone." God will bring that person to you. Think of all the Biblical marriages - Adam and Eve, Isaac and Rebecca, etc. God brought those couples together.
