Why are you Single?

[mojoboy31]

From my experience, wayyyy better than dating.

Or there are always these little beauties...

Spoiler

This is now officially a food thread:

and if you find a girl who'll watch Netflix and eat stuffed crust pizza with you, she's the one.

I've been searching for over ten years, still haven't found such a girl...

This September.

We aren't that far apart in age, but I'm a junior in college and she's still in high school, so we're kinda in different worlds at the moment.

Also, people younger than me often turn out to be super annoying... meaning this is the first time I've liked anyone younger than me.

She isn't a typical 17 year old, though... she's really smart, and she might be more mature than I am.

So she graduates next year, I imagine?
I have to agree with Cody, in that, this definitely isn't something you can rush into.

People change -alot- after highschool. I witnessed so many close friends and their friends do complete 360s in their life goals, dreams, habbits, etc. Sometimes for good, often times not..

I think, if you are truly serious about her, get to know her slowly, just as friends. I know - friend zone sucks, but despite assumptions can be beneficial. If she cares for you, she wants your friendship above all else.

But, this path is only if you are -truly- serious about this. Patience is your card here. Watch how she unfolds as the real world begins to settle in her mind after school. Be the guiding words and wisdom she needs to become the woman you want. You may think she is mature, but she may lack the experience you have when real-world stress becomes an issue.

She will either become someone you can't be around, or prove that your patience was worth it. I think the key is maturity, not age, so ensure she keeps that mindset.

That is my opinion-based input, anyway. From experience of knowing what I would have needed at her age, in that circumstance.

I will keep you in my prayers, bud!

You aren't looking very hard.

 

[MotherFirefly]

Fireflies are one of my favorite things in the entire world, and if one thing could summarize my beliefs, hopes, dreams, etc. it's fireflies.
So needless to say I really like your title

Aw. I wish I could say my title is as sweet as you are.
Unfortunately, it is a nod to a guilty pleasure.. but in a way, a description of my commitment to being the best mother I can be for my son.

that's pretty sweet, I reckon

Good one.

 

[CCHIPSS]

It's okay. Thank you.

Assuming that image in your avatar is you, I got to say you are a very pretty lady. So it is easier for you to find suitors. Of course there is a downside to that too. How many of these men likes you for your personality, instead of just your looks. It gets hard to discern and many men are experts in lying.

My ex fiance told me that I reminded him of the actress in the avatar, and he would send me pics of her, and I still use them as my avatar. Men have called me ''pretty'', ''attractive,'' etc... and you are right. There have been times when they weren't all that interested in me, beyond my appearance. I also like good looking men, we all have certain 'types' maybe that we're attracted to, but after having been engaged, and having been a 'serial dater'...I'd like to think that there was something to glean from it all. And that is, true love is hard to find. Our culture offers us all a manufactured version of it, but to find true love...in my opinion, is rare. And our first love if we are Christians, should be with Jesus. And we will know that we have found that true, special love in another person...if the relationship itself that we have with another...mirrors Jesus' love for us.

 

[NOTWHATIWAS]

God is having trouble finding just the right person for me because I am so awesome!(LOL-then fall off your chair!)

 

[redblue22]

@Deidre32 I am not really sold on looks. And this thing called "true love" sounds mysterious and good, but it seems more of a mask to say, "I get a lot out of this relationship right now." Falling out of true love is the calling card of betrayal; christian or not, married or not. At least as an outsider that is how it all looks to me.

Great, my last best friend turned me into the cops. Remind me to remind you to tell me to not commit any crimes when there is a witness.

Did you go to jail? Sorry to hear if you did, truly.

Great, my last best friend turned me into the cops. Remind me to remind you to tell me to not commit any crimes when there is a witness.

But, I'm Christian! We're All "witnesses"!(LOL) I'm also punster in training.
