I have a confession. I had a thought. This thought was, "Wouldn't it be weird if I had a boyfriend?" I burst out laughing at the thought.
I honestly cannot see myself dating in the next four years. In fact, I have a sneaking suspicion that I will not date until I am well into college, and maybe even out of it.
I have views on dating that differ from this culture's. This culture views dating as an activity. I am an advocate of courtship, rather than dating. The difference? Courtship leads to marriage, and dating leads to entertainment. Entertainment that doesn't last.
I honestly do not think it's cute when 5 year-olds have boyfriends. Am I a heartless, mean old person or what? All this can lead to is a bunch of crap later on in the tweens. The minimum age I would put on my child for dating would be 17. My children will understand later on.
My mom used to say something to the effect of 16. That's two years away. This makes me laugh.
Most of this is due to the fact that guys have the intelligence and common sense of a retarded poodle until they get to around college age. This has been proved to me many, many times.
Practically all relationships in middle school end in heartbreak. I say heartbreak very lightly, because you can't know what love is at that age. People who think they know what love is when they don't are in trouble.
I don't think I'm in any danger of someone asking me out. As long as I keep up the opera freakishness, I don't think I'll have that problem.
I'm single and very content with it.
