Testing Waters

No offense gentlemen, but this one's for the ladies, though I would love to hear your feedback too.

Ok, so you've met this really fine man. He has it going on! From the perfect height and broad shoulders, to the dazzling bedroom eyes. He looks like he may even have a 401(K) plan. What do you do? Do you:
A. Invite him over, and whatever happen, happens
B. Invite him to dinner
C. Make yourself noticeable, so he will invite you to dinner
D. View him as eye candy and let him go his way

Ok ladies, let’s be honest, most of us will probably go with choice "C". However, "D" is the best answer. Most women, no matter what age, long for attention and intimacy. In some cases, we will go the extreme to get it. Even if it means putting our values aside, just to enjoy the moment. This could possibly lead to romantic love, which could then lead to cohabitation, or simply put-testing waters.

During cohabitation, everything is wonderful! You have a little extra money because he's helping out with the bills. It's like having a roommate with fringe benefits-hint, hint. Before you know it, 2 years have gone by and you realize you're not committed to each other. As the old folks say, "why buy the cow when you can milk it for free?" So after tons of complaining and whining, you get married. Your expectations of each other change. You now have yelling competitions because your marriage is nothing like the relationship you once had. What happens now?...

Just this year, I have had two men propose to me, and I’m not tooting my own horn. This is very scary to me. They were indeed attractive men, with benefits (lol), but I cannot, will not marry someone just because they ask me and because of their insurance and appearances. All that glitters is not gold. I feel that I will know when the Lord sends me to my husband. (Proverbs 18:22) Before any of us can love anyone, or allow them to love us, we have to love ourselves first.
