Your Offer?

[sundewgrower]

This is a lovely question which humbles me.
Past the obvious of trying to be a good person who is has good qualities psychologically and so forth..
I live in Hawai'i, I can offer a stable place to live, I'll have a degree hopefully soon, and I'm earning good money for my age. Not enough to get married yet but I'm hoping to offer a rather modest yet nice and stable situation.

 

[MehGuy]

Besides giving her enough pain, I'm not sure how much I have to offer at the moment. When I finish getting my degree more doors will open up.

I do believe I have great loyalty. As far as love and emotions go, I can be very passionate in that department.

 

[Nanopants]

^That's what you guys think. I have no reason to believe that degrees mean very much to American women at all. They're too common. In my opinion, if you find a woman you like who accepts you as you are while you're young, and still get the degree, then you'll have a keeper plus the extra job security if it's a good degree.

 

[JackofSpades]

Do you own Mjölnir though

I have strict "No discussing Mjölnir before first date" - policy.

 

[Nanopants]

I'm feeling generous enough today to offer a single, free shrug.

 

[Cearbhall]

I'm very neat and organized, but I don't have any problem with other people keeping their own spaces messy.

I can cook and bake...to a certain degree. I love grocery shopping, and I don't mind doing laundry.

How I wish there were guys like that.
What I've got to offer? Well nothing, but if I do a guy's laundry and clean up his stuff and cook it's true love.

I suddenly feel like Reb Tevya singing, "Do you love me?"

There is such a different vibe in this thread than say threads where we write about our dream spouse.

Maybe it's indigestion!

 

[RobertMerton]

Hmmm, lets see...

Love
Faithfulness
Compassion
Security (Physical and Financial)
Intellect
I cook better than 99% of women (or so Ive been told)
I can make or repair pretty much anything (from furniture to clothing)

Thats just a few. It isnt bragging if youre telling the truth. Its just making a statement of fact.

I'm going to have to come visit you for a meal when I visit the states lol

 

[TheOliveSeed]

To name a few...

-Love ✔
-Faithfulness & loyalty ✔ ✔
-I've been told I'm very kind, so that too: Kindness. ✔

-Love/Concerted effort to care for someone
-Willing to talk things out and listen
-Introverted
-Ranga/Ginger/Redhead
-Bearded
-Maybe others? lol i dunno

 

[redblue22]

I wonder: Are people wanting an SO that matches what they have to offer? Or does it seem that people are offering less than they want in their SO? Or maybe offering more?

.

 

[KitKatMatt]

What I want in my SO:

Gives me space.
Respects boundaries (I think this is important in any relationship).
Likes to cook, because I do not.
Engages in interesting conversation.
Likes to learn.

I think it's pretty equal, probably

What do you have to offer your future SO?
Usually we spend thought deciding who our SO will be and what they have to offer. Instead, what have you got to offer?

a future spouse, or future ekklesia in the body ---

can expect a life of hardship. suffering for Jesus' Name, being kicked out of groups we're sent to for the GOOD NEWS sake - seeing as
it is written in Scripture "such irony, receiving such hate in return for pure love"

in a life of faith,
torture possibly, imprisonment, martyrdom, (not seeking that - but believers around the world have been going through this for centuries, and very much the last few decades, since after wwii)

remember, or look up on youtube her testimony, corrie ten boom - one of the only ladies in the public eye who lived right, like sarai, abigail, ruth, etc ...

She had a friend and they were talking about marriage, but she wasn't rich enough for his mother, so he took someone else. When I read that her sister had a nice husband and family and she was so upset she'd never marry, and then later you read that her sister's husband died in the war, her brother died in the war, she was in a concentration camp, well it wasn't that bad that she was alone. It's all nice when there's peace, but in those cases I wouldn't want a man to worry about me if God calls me to witness in a concentration camp. I had a dream about that years ago, I was the only one who was there willingly and we had to move out in a big row and I started to talk to them all about Jesus and we had to go to a place where they would shoot us and I saw the headlines in the paper that all got shut, but I thought: They don't know that they all went to heaven. I want to save souls, that's what I have to offer for God, my life. I He wants to give me a man with the same goal in life, that's great, if not, that's great too.

-Ranga

Jonah Takalua approves.

 

[JackofSpades]

Oh, I forgot one key thing: I offer to be a childfree partner. That's a must-have for someone with similar wish.

 

[~Beauty_from_Pain~]

I have two starbucks cards, gently used. That's a start right?
