What would this involve?
Click to expand...
#1 Will you stand up to me when you think something I am doing isn't the best idea?
#2 Will you be the "man" in the relationship and lead it as God has set forth?
#3 Will you pray every day for God's will in our relationship?

Those are some of the questions it would entail.:p

:) You seem like a Godly woman.

1. I'd do my best.
2. I'd do my best.
3. I would try but I need work on this one.

What would further questions entail?

Oh you are making me think now...

4. Would you promise to be honest with me at all times even if it hurts my feelings?
5. Would you keep our relationship between us and God and not between us and your friends or family?
6. Would you always hold my hand when we walk around in public?

These actually came a lot easier than the first three:D

I thought the title of this thread was ''How Ready are You To DEBATE''? haha but hmmm no, I'm not ready to date at this moment, I think I need to do some things first that require a lot of my attention. Who knows...maybe I am but I just can't see it right now.

4. Yes, however, does this include questions such as... How does this look on me? Does this make my bum look big? How does this meal I just cooked taste? etc
5. Generally yes, however, I think that it may also be a good to have a same sex, godly friend to discuss some things with from time to time.
6. Yes!!! :D

lol

Well of course it includes those things!!!
If I look like I just got out of bed would YOU want me walking out the door with you? lol
If my bum looks big you think I want to go out and have men looking at it?:eek:
Not to toot my own horn but...if I could get my pictures to download of the pies and home
made cheesecake I made for Thanksgiving you wouldn't have to worry about asking if my food
ever tastes bad. I had a great teacher.

" How ready are you to date"

#3..Are the men ready to try to handle you?
#2..Are you ready to not be so outspoken?
And #1...Are you ready to let go and let God be in control of any relationship you are in?

I'm thinking maybe I need to get a checklist to have a man fill out once he asks me on a date to make sure he is ready to date ME.:)

I love those!

Pretty sure if I thought I was ready I wouldn't need a checklist. I'd just go out and find a God honoring guy, right? lol. Only checklist I need is the qualities God set forth in the Bible. =)

The girl rabbit is moody, she sometimes bites, no way of knowing if you are going to get a kiss or a nip.

When guys are ready to stop being Jerks, I'm ready to date. So, I think we can safely say I'll never be ready... ;)
