be swept away by your online presence.
so I may fall into some stereotypes in your mind.
“Why is she not married?”
SIMPLE:
EVERYONE THAT WANTS TO MARRY ME,
I DONT WANT TO MARRY.
AND EVERYONE I WANTED TO MARRY,
DIDNT WANT TO MARRY ME,
Not to hard of formula right,
The law of attraction remains in force.
so I started to have thoughts that lead unto actions unto marriage.
And 3, 300 Facebook friends later and
I knew that was only one thing I could do,
There is really only one thing I had control over:
I had dated enough to know what I DID NOT WANT.
This was a very safe place for me,
because as I avoided what I didn’t what, the possibilities
of what I wanted grew and grew.
Some search for exactly what they want. That wasn’t me.
Who was I to declare such expectation to the confusing and busy world?
to know if I really wanted something or not in a potential suitor.
If I said that I would only date guys taller than me,
Ask about that one, perhaps it would generate a another blog post.
anyways
was one of my way of communicating to the Lord that Celestial Marriage
I wanted to see what
I wanted my faith to grow.
My mission president will tell you,
ELDER, be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
I learned pretty easy that this is true, as an 8 yr. old politician’s daughter,
going door to door,
petitioning voters to vote and
vote for Neil Hansen November 4th.
I met tons of great guys
but the odds were there. but it was FISHING.. or finding in Jack’s words.
And perhaps even a catfish.
Being deliberate and investigating was key!
tons of guys that were afraid of online dating!
As if a mobile app soften the reality that fishing must happen to make things happen.
be doing if you haven’t caught the catch you want.
I’d examine that fish to see it was a potential catch.
and it never hurt the guy that I pursued.
Once, a rumor was given to be that a guy liked me..
He was a catch.. I found out all his favorite smoothie and ice cream shops.
I bought gift cards in the exact amounts of 2 servings, so he could take me out
when he found out I thought he was a catch.
I took these to his house. I heart attacked his door!
I video taped…
Days later I found out he had NO interest in me.
Ha.
And I wanted alot of experiences that would provide me with the knowledge and faith to know.
The important thing to remember is that
certain bait attracts certain fish.
LL GIRLS ARE BAD BLAH BLAH BLAH…
aren’t the fish that would be good for me to take home.
I knew I had to answer yes because I needed to exercise faith.
“Each guy that you go out with,
And the timing was perfect.
of life experiences, trials, down falls, and goodness.
or interviewing is even safe
if you haven’t been in a couple semiserious relationships,
if you haven’t been in a serious relationship,
Again exercising faith.
and I told everyone how great this guy was that
I had only been on one date within three months.
Which I didnt know at the time, do we ever?
Facebook group titled: LDS MIDSINGLES OF THE WORLD.
There were 3,000 plus members in here fishing.
how to fish or FIND fish and I was in that same business too.
even of him requesting my friendship on Facebook,
I told my bishopric wives about this awesome guy
who I didn’t know that he didn’t like me back,
but these wise women knew, specifically,
I will name drop the saint, Lydia Tribe said:
Don’t text him back,
if he is interested he will gather up the gust to do so.
I hated hearing that,
I had given him loyal extra attention and our one date was fun!
Now days we skype endlessly.
we asked each other the heavy questions.
and the unique thing about having the same goals is that it gives
you every ample opportunity to become one when you have a difference of opinion.
EVERYTHING
in my power to be led to a catch,
thinking there might be something better,
that once that fish is pulled out of the water
enough to know to keep it or not,
or being the fish reeled in prepares
you for what you need to learn and become.

Thank you for sharing. I haven't told you about this, but from the very 1st time I met, I just felt that there were something special about you. Then, I started to get to know you better and it was not difficult for me to figure it out. I could describe it in one word: committed. You are so committed with what you do and you do it with kindness without asking or expecting anything in return. The story in your blog proves it. It's called commitment! Commmitment creates love. It's not the other around. Congratulations! I can't wait to witness such a beautiful event! 🙂
