Beware: Shady (but cute) Boys ☠
04 April, 2015
What girl doesn't love being pampered? Sunrise "good morning sweetie" texts, cute dinners by candlelight in obscure cafe's, sneaking away from work for a quick hello... I personally love having a boyfriend. How can ya blame me? Someone to ride Rockin' Roller Coaster with three times and watch The Office reruns with late at night and attempt cooking vanilla Crème brûlée with on Sunday afternoons... Someone to wear a LBD for and bake homemade red velvet cupcakes for and buy True Religion cologne for (my fav)...
If you ask my friends, they'll tell you I absolutely have an ideal type: tall, dark hair, masculine physique, and a gym membership. Basically, I'd like to find my swoll-mate. (get it? ha)
But, I have some advice - not technically scripture, but should be!
Jesus did not die on the cross for you to be a side chick.
I can't tell you how many times I've gone out on a date with someone, fostering high hopes thinking they're a great guy, only to find out they had a committed girlfriend. It's so, so easy to be swept away by a man's calls and dates and texts, ignoring the fact he has someone else (even if it's another side chick!) waiting for him.

Wear high heels. And don't let boys be mean to you."

Why is it acceptable in today's society for guys (and girls) to cheat? Why do I catch myself singing along to Shaggy's It Wasn't Me when it's seriously not cool?
I mentioned above I enjoy having a boyfriend, but to be completely honest, (dare I say) I've been enjoying singleness even more!
What a better time to: a) focus on my relationship with Christ; b) figure out my likes and dislikes free of bias; c) write whatever I want on my blog (ha); d) navigate what it is I do want in a man come the future.
My words of wisdom: don't waste your time on someone who doesn't see you as worthy of all their love. If they're "playing the field," dating multiple people whilst dating you, "checking out their options" and too busy to "get tied down," they're probably not for you. I've found relationships end how they start: if you date a guy who has a girlfriend or has multiple girls he's talking to, even if he eventually breaks up with them for you, you'll find yourself insecure and questioning years down the road.
Sometimes, it can seem genuine guys don't exist, especially with all the reality TV and bad music out there these days. But rest assured, ladies, there actually are true gentlemen out there, looking for someone exactly like you to take care of for the rest of their lives. A man you'll have no hint of insecurity about, knowing he's been 100% dedicated to you from the beginning. Cuz babe, you're worthy of more than you could imagine. ❤
