I must confess, lately I’ve been bothered by the general life I lead. I’ve been a tad grumpy and have secluded myself. I think I’ve been fed up with people for so many different reasons. I know a part of this is due to the fact I need to learn more patience.
I think I’ve been upset more by men.
Lately, guys have been coming out of the wood works. I have been hit on and asked out alot lately. I guess, normally this wouldn’t, generally, be a bad thing. But, I don’t want to date right now. It’s not just the fact that I don’t want to date around, it’s I haven’t met anyone who I want to date at all. I feel as though men don’t understand this or maybe just don’t respect it.
Secondly, I’m not going to date a man who is less than my standards. I know, there’s no such thing as the perfect man. I’m okay with that but I have certain standards I will not waiver on. And, don’t think, for a second, that I can’t see right through a front if you try to have one. You say ” I’m still a gentleman” but what you don’t know is there are plenty of ”gentlemen” out there. I want my man among men. I want a G-d fearing man who is not persuaded by the things of this world nor will ever curse the name of my Lord. I can tell when I guy is trying to be a certain way to win me over in the beginning. Guess what? I have been given discernment and experience to recognize a cover.Trust me, I have plenty of ungodly guys trying to pull the gentleman card to win me over. And trying to fake (being godly) till you make it will not win my heart over. I’ve learned never to judge a person on first impressions, though that is a good indicator. I’ve learned to really listen to their words because it is the outflow of their heart. What do they talk most about? What do they get excited about? So, a man can tell me he loves Jesus and he has a growing relationship with Him but if there is no fruit I will not believe you. No, none of us are perfect but seriously??
And, I would NEVER date a man who said GD or called any woman a whore. And, do guys honestly think this is okay? Even if the girl sleeps around you should never call a girl that. And, when someone (especially those who call themselves Christians) says GD it is like saying something horrible about my parents. That’s how I feel. It hurts and is distasteful!
If the only reason a man is being my friend is so he can maybe end up dating me, he has wrong intentions.
