Yesterday I was studying with a "friend" and it was really awkward and creepy. He kept asking me all these personal questions like "How many boyfriends have you had?" and he even hinted (not so subtly) that he would have sex with me. Excuse me, man-child, but I have no reason to even consider that possibility, especially now. I told him flat out that I made a promise to God and my father and that it wasn't going to happen. Period. End of story.
Of course he kept asking me about relationships and trying to gauge whether or not I was interested. I told him the truth: I don't have time for the social obligations of a relationship. I am focusing on my schoolwork, which will make a much bigger impact in my life. Being in a relationship means you have to meet a certain criterion and uphold the social obligation of continuously spending time with the person, calling constantly, and making certain days (such as anniversaries) important.
In other words, I'm being practical and realistic. If God saw it fit for me to be in a relationship I would know, and He does not. So I do not.
And I couldn't date someone like that. People often argue that you can't be picky, but I beg to differ. God made me picky so I would be able to be with a man that God sees fit for me to be with. The social obligations of this world mean little to me. God's word is so much more.
I spoke to my friend Clem about this too and he completely agrees with me. He's such a good friend.
On and awesome subject, my friend Jodi said she'd go to the Josh Groban concert with me. Ahhh! So exciting. We have to plan out the details, but it'll be completely awesome so I am really excited. I talked to my dad about it and he said that he would be more inclined to let me go with a friend so it's completely possible. So exciting!
