My Thoughts On Dating (Sorta)

So I’m a teenage guy as you all probably figured out. I have had crushes on girls before and currently have one. Through my readings and such I have concluded that I want to wait till I’m at least over the age of 16 before I get into a relationship with a girl, I might wait even longer.

So I hope I don’t come across as judgmental or anything of the sort. I’m not saying you have to do what I’m doing but I hope that you read this and think about what I am saying.

From watching those around me I have seen many broken hearts from failed relationships. I have seen people divorced because they were not happy together. I myself don’t want that to happen to me.

From what I have learned, when you date someone but the relationship ends up falling apart you leave a part of your heart with that person. I myself would rather have my whole heart for the one God has for me rather than running around hurry scurry looking for a girl. When you wait for the right one you don’t end up with a broken heart (Witch hurts a lot) and you have your whole heart for the one rather than a small piece from whats left. I already made one mistake, like I haven’t dated a girl before but I let my feelings run off without me. I’ll explain a little bit.

So I had a bit of a crush on this one girl (NAW!), and I didn't really realize or accept the fact that I liked her. So she goes and gets a boyfriend and I hear about it a little later. You can guess my reaction. I did my best to keep it cool and move on, but as soon as I got home I went to my room and cried. (Yes I cried. Get over it, guys cry too) I finally stopped and asked myself why I was crying. When I realized why I started to get mad at myself because of what happened. I had told myself that I wouldn't let myself fall for someone. Then a while later once I accepted the fact that she had a boyfriend, her boyfriend started acting weird and they broke up. I had hope, and then I started to think and then I realized that I was still too immature to get into a relationship. The very reason that I wanted to get into a relationship was the reason why I decided that I was not ready.

I’m trying to protect my heart as well as the girl whom I like. Yeah I still like her, I haven't told her about how I feel nor do I intend to, but I am able to move on now that I have made the commitment to wait.

I would encourage you to think about this and ask yourself weather or not you are mature enough to engage in a relationship.
