Everyone has always told me to wait until college to date. Honestly, I never understood why until my junior year of high school. That was the year that everything finally clicked for me. Up until that point, I was always concerned about the boys at my school and whether or not they liked me. You could say that I was a little boy-crazy, but what girl isn't a little boy-crazy at that age. My boy-craziness did die down and reality hit me in the face. My reality was that these little boys are not worth all of the effort that I was trying to put into them.
With that realization in mind, I went on with my life perfectly content with waiting until college to get involved in a relationship. Fast-forward to this summer. I'm about to go to school, and I'm talking with my best-friend about what dating in college is going to be like. She told me that it was different because the guys are more mature, and there are a lot more to choose from in a university setting.
Well, I got to college, and there were plenty of guys to choose from. The only problem was that everyone was getting into relationships within the first few days of school. That's not my style at all, so I just sat back and waited for all of the shiny, newness to rub off of everyone. It turns out that I didn't feel the need to get involved with anyone. It really shocked me because I thought that I was just going to go crazy, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I honestly think it's because I spent so much time hammering the fact that I didn't need a boy into my mind for the past two years, that it didn't even phase me. I am finally at peace with the fact that I don't need no man. As I always tell my friends, "stop wasting your time on all of these crusty little boys, and wait for God to send you your man!" That is why I'm going to sit here and wait patiently for God to send a good man my way.
