Here is my stand about dating: I don't. That's it. I don't date. I don't look for dates, I don't want to date. I just don't. I am waiting for God's best. Now, a great deal of people will argue and say that I have to be 'active' in waiting, and their definition of 'active' is dating and looking. My definition of 'active' is to be passionately patient, seeking God's plan and will for my life, obedient and soft-hearted, open to correction and wisdom and guidance and growth. I am not sitting around waiting in the sense that some would mockingly say 'waiting for God to drop a man into my life'. No, I'm serving and seeking God as I wait.
The reason I mention this is because, well, dating seems to dominate the Christian world, just as it dominates the non-Christian world. I have been on one date in my life, my freshman year of high school, for one night, and once I returned to Christ, I have never dated anyone. I am 32. I don't regret this.
Anyway, I guess I just wanted to say it.
I am critiquing a few books regarding being single, books that claim to be Christian based and are anything but, and it kind of lights a fire under me, you know? I'll get down off my soapbox now. Thanks for listening.
