Dating

Okay so here is my little rant about dating....

Just b/c I'm single doesn't mean I'm desperate, it also doesn't mean I have commitment issues.  I want a love story, a how we met story that I can tell my kids and grandchildren.  I want to date a guy with purpose, not date a guy just to get a free meal.  Dating is a pathway to marriage.  You get to know a person and decide if you're path together will continue or end.  As a woman I need to pay attention, are the qualities this guy displaying qualities I would want my figurative future son to have or qualities my figurative daughter's husband to have.  I'm tired of people either intentionally or not trying to rob me of my love story.  I know I'm 28 and in some people's books I'm too old to be single or on the road to spinster hood or whatever.  God has a better plan for me than they do.  I'm finally figuring out what I want in a potential mate and I won't settle and I won't bend to peer pressure trying to make me settle for them to feel better.
