Hey You.
Yea, you.
We are in the same boat.
I know that When you think about dating, you picture those perfect Nicholas Sparks movies. You picture that when you find ‘the one’, it’ll be like Ronnie and Will in The Last Song, or like Sophia and Luke from The Longest Ride. Where this handsome hunk of a guy will just ride in and sweep you off your feet.
The problem with dating in today’s society is that girls have this high expectation of what a ‘perfect relationship’ should be….
We have Nicholas Sparks to thank for that.
We can thank him for setting those high, unrealistic expectations that every girl can only dream of, but few can actually get.
It seems like we are stuck in this unstoppable cycle of attracting guys that only want one thing. The sucky part is, when you are unwilling to give them that, they walk.
That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but you question yourself. You question if you’ll ever find a guy thats actually interested in YOU, not just ‘getting with’ you.
You'll be OK. JUST WAIT.
Right now God is teaching us girls what we deserve. I guess his way of doing that, is exposing us to all the jerks first?
I think girls our age are so ready to find 'the one,' instead of finding themselves first. We long for those 'relationship goals', and we long for that 'picture perfect' guy that Nicholas Sparks has embedded into our head.
You'll be okay.
We've walked away from our relationship with God while looking for some dude that may, or may not be out there. Nothing is promised. No one promised that you'd find the perfect guy. No one promised that you'd get married. And no one promised that you'd have kids.
Keep your eyes and heart on the Lord, and maybe, just maybe, a man doing the same thing will find you.
