the first guy I met my freshmen year of high school. I wasn't really interested in dating until then, when all my friends had there boyfriends and I suddenly wanted to see what it was like to have one and all that jazz. So I went out with boyfriend #1, wasn't serious at all and I ended it after 3 months.

Boyfriend #2 was a completely different story tho. I thought I was in love with him but I was mistaking love for lust in all honesty. God told me time and time again to break up with him but me being the stubborn one I was ignored Him. I was really close to God before boyfriend #2 but once I started going out with him, against not only Gods wishes but my parents as well, I lost sight of who was really important, God. The first year of dating was innocent enough, all the lovey-dovey texts and phone calls and conversations that had no real meaning, where there and ever present. In the second year was when it started to become too physical and he started to act more and more like a jerk. There was less conversation and more, well, hormones. We were both Christians and new better and tried to stop time and time again but it kept escalating. I soon found myself growing more and more resentful towards him because all we would ever do was end up in heated situations. I'm lucky that I didn't give him the one thing I couldn't take back, my virginity. by year three I realized that I no longer had feelings for him and wanted out. I wanted a real relationship, I wanted a guy who valued me and wouldn't treat me like trash, which i'll admit was exactly how i felt at the time. I had tricked myself into thinking that I didn't deserve any better than boyfriend #2 because of all i had allowed to go on, even tho we never went all the way. It was around that time that God opened my eyes and made a break through in me and I finally saw that I am valued and pure in His eyes and that He still loved me even though I had turned away from Him for so long. God is good! I broke up with my boyfriend, which wasn't an all to pretty break-up, and have followed God with all my heart sense.

The almost boyfriend was this guy I had known for years and we began talking and he was really sweet. I was so excited about the prospect of dating him that I told a very good friend of mine all about him. But what I didn't know was that later she would start talking to him too. When i found out, i was crushed because i hadn't allowed myself to fall for a guy in so long sense boyfriend #2. plus I felt betrayed by my friend, who knew how much i liked this guy, yet she still pursued him. I turned towards God and gave all my grief to Him and I was soon over it.

I haven't had so much luck in the love department but I know God has the one for me out there, somewhere. so, yeah thats my story lol
