After much thought, I have decided to drop almost all of my standards. Maybe then I can actually get a date.
well you should keep the basic one: that he be a Child of God and will treat you with respect and love.
and i wrote this ten years ago, lol i've changed a few things but I still think we need to keep high standards because we are God's children and deserve the best the other person has to offer.
We should forgive mistakes, but they should not be done intentionally. the person should not be vicious and set out to hurt you. If they are then you have to figure out WHY.
I heard the saying today "hurt people hurt people"
just thinking everyone should deal with there own hurts and not take it out on the people around them.
