I’m trapped between two time zones and I don’t know how to get out. On one hand, I don’t want to bruise his ego and on the other hand, I want to slap his face for asking me if he can spend the night. If you have to ask, you probably weren’t paying attention in the first place.
Why do single women these days think one must have sex on a regular basis in order to feel alive, needed, adored, survive? Having sex does not develop character or an understanding of people. I think a great majority of us have forgotten what the Bible says and what our parents use to tell us about sex before marriage. So what do I know…look at the statistics, (poverty stricken women with children, in low waged jobs, on public assistance, with men no better off than they are who eventually become missing in action). Even though our parents didn’t explicitly say “beware” all you have to do in the twenty first century is pay attention to what making wrong choices will get you (a lack of opportunities).
I don’t want to sound like I know it all, but at this time in my life I think I know enough in order not to make the same mistakes again and again and again, when it comes to relationships. There’s no fool like an old fool. Well, believe you me; there are some old fools out there as well as some young ones.
Am I living on Mars or what? Should I slap myself and hope that this is all a dream that I’ll wake up from, feeling hopeful about the possibility of finding a mate not saddled with baby momma drama, child support, little education, felony, sexually transmitted disease, anger management issues, no money, no car, living with his mom or other relatives, living with various women…..I could go on and on but you get where I’m coming from. Making a significant other match in an age of, “I want instant gratification” is almost impossible and one of the reasons single households continue to increase while marriage continues to decline. Is all hope lost or will the family values we all talk about, but don’t take seriously, ever take root and grow into something meaningful?
