Settling

If you live in provo I know that you have heard countless lectures about courtship and marriage. They always talk about the same major points. What always strikes me as odd about these talks is that they talk about dating as if they are REMINDING the men about it...because we don't think about it every 7 seconds anyway. The problem isn't we are forgetting to date. The problem is that we don't like our dates (or they don't like us). The next part of the lecture is about the people who getting too "old" for Provo. "Why aren't you married?" If you think about it the question is retarded. They aren't married because the haven't found someone that they like enough. Inevitably someone will say "you aren't married because you are to picky!" What the hell is that supposed to mean. Should we SETTLE on someone that we kind of like. If we did that we would regret it the rest of our lifes. How would like to be the person that was settled upon? "My wife/husband didn't think that he/she would do any better..." Not me. Call it picky if you want. I call it self respect.
