An Open Letter To Men: Pursue Us!

"Never let a man tell you that you aren't worth pursuing. For God became man, died, and rose again just to pursue you."

An Open Letter To Men: Pursue Us!

Dear men,

Here's the deal. I understand that this culture is one where women take charge. That is awesome and understandable, and I am all for women being independent. Do your thing girl. But, men, I am sick and tired of hearing that as an excuse to let the girl do all the work in the relationship. Honestly, as a girl, it isn't fun to have to be the one to ask a guy out on a date. If that's your style as a woman, then that is wonderful and I applaud you. But I think most women would agree with me when they say they don't want to have to be the one to ask the man out. And men, stop using the excuse that asking the girl out, opening doors for her, and paying for her are "old fashioned." Because they aren't. And as a woman that is something that I am definitely looking for in a man. I don't want a boy. Women deserve to be pursued. We want to be pursued. When we are pursued, it shows us that you care enough and want us enough that you are willing to work for it. To fight for it. We want you to show us that you find us worthy of being pursued because that means you're going to continue pursuing us and showing us love in the actual relationship. A boy would sit back and wait for the woman to make the first move. A boy would play silly games. Don't be a boy, be a man. Pursue us, chase after us, show the girl that you want that you are willing to fight for her.

And women: KNOW YOUR WORTH. Don't settle for boys. Don't settle for games. Don't spend your time stressing over how to figure out if he likes you. If he isn't man enough to tell you he likes you and then pursue you, take you out on dates, and be a gentleman, then he isn't worth it. Don't allow a guy to make you feel less than, no matter how much you like him. Wait for a godly man who will chase you, pursue you, cherish you, and always make you feel loved. It will be worth it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
