Dating Q&A.

We are on the road again! This morning the snow is aggressively blowing across the highway, as we slowly sip our coffee. As we travel, we get asked a variety of questions and thought we would highlight a few with our answers.

Q: Chantelle, what was your worst date?

A: It was my first date in high school. He took me to McDonalds and I had to pay. There wasn't a second date! 

Q: Charlene, why are you single? 

A: I don't want to date for the sake of dating. Instead, I've chosen to wait. In this period of time, I am pursuing my dreams and hopefully will meet whoever he may be while pursuing such passions! 

Q: Chantelle, why are you single?

A: I haven't found the right one and I am not willing to compromise. I've changed my view of dating, since I yearn for a friend before a first date.  In this time, I see the value of friendship. So, I've chosen to wait and remain single. 

Q: Charlene, how far is to far?

A: Honestly, I think this is the wrong question. In asking this question, aren't you trying to justify a degree of physical intimacy? So, maybe ask God, "what is physically appropriate in His eyes?" 

Q: Chantelle, what do you wish women and men would understand about dating?

A: My prayer is that they would know the value of their worth as an individual. You are a valuable jewel, which is worth protecting. Take time to protect your heart and mind and grasp whose you are, God’s chosen child. So, don't find your worth in the opposite sex, rather in God. Furthermore, only give yourself to someone who is worthy of the jewel that you truly are! 

Q: Charlene, why is it SO hard to wait?

A: Isn't it a desire of your heart? It doesn't help when people ask, "why aren't you dating?" Often, I am temped to ask, "why are you married?" Or even question, "why does my relationship status matter?" I've discovered it is a mental fight between what society says and what I believe God is asking and teaching me in this season of singleness.

Q: Chantelle, your dream guy?

A: A lumberjack!

Q: Charlene, your dream guy?

A: An active man full of surprises and heart for adventure! And if he plays the guitar, it's a bonus!

So, hopefully that answers a few of your questions!
