So I used to believe that when one wanted to find Love, you had to throw yourself out there and go for it! I believed I was too old to "date around." Dating was pointless unless the other person immediately saw me in their future. It was all or nothing. Yes, we are told you date to marry; however, this advice is misleading (or at least I think it is). Dating is simply getting to know someone and it takes a while to REALLY understand someone. Even after years of knowing a person, one may not fully understand them. Finding Love should be a slow process that occurs after finding a friendship that can bloom into something stronger. One should not date to find Love. One should date to find friendship; yes, in the hopes that the relationship formed will one day be Love, but NOT specifically to find Love. Saying that you only want to date someone if they can absolutely see you in their future is really just a Sorry excuse for being afaird of getting hurt! If you don't reallly try to get to know someone and truely become friends, you are not even putting yourself in the position to fall in Love. You are shying away. Yes, you should guard your heart, but NOT out of fear of being hurt. You should guard your heart so that you stay true to your morals, beliefs, and true to yourslef! This realization may sound simple to many, but it is a major changing point for me. God Bless.

wow- good thoughts. I'm really impressed, not that you knew all this but how deep your change is actually going. I am seeing a new side of you that I believe has been wanting to come out for a long time. Way to listen to yourself!
