  • Disney's Dating Advice to Men

    I was babysitting my friends' little girl last night and I put in The Little Mermaid for her to watch.  The Little Mermaid has always been my favorite movie, I love it.  But when the Kiss the Girl scene came on, I found myself listening to the lyrics with new ears...

    Kiss the Girl (summarized lyrics)
    There you see her
    Sitting there across the way
    She don't got a lot to say
    But there's something about her
    And you don't know why
    But you're dying to try
    You wanna kiss girl.

    Yes, you want her
    Look at her, you know you do
    It's possible she wants you too
    There's one way to ask her
    It don't take a word, not a single word
    Go on and kiss the girl

    Shalalalala
    My oh my
    Looks like the boy's too shy
    Ain't gonna kiss the girl
    Shalalalala
    Ain't that sad
    It's such a shame
    Too bad, you're gonna miss the girl
    Go on and kiss the girl

    Now's your moment
    Floating in a blue lagoon
    Boy, you better do it soon
    No time will be better
    She don't say a word
    And she won't say a word
    Until you kiss the girl

    Shalalalala
    Don't be scared
    You better be prepared
    Go on and kiss the girl
    Shalalalala
    Don't stop now
    Don't try to hide it how
    You wanna kiss the girl
    Go on and kiss the girl

    I love it!  This song is telling guys that if you like a girl, and you think she may like you, you better make your move fast or she's going to lose interest.  SO TRUE!  Ughh, I've had this problem a couple times.  I'll be interested in a guy, and I'm getting vibes that he likes me too, but all of a sudden it's like a switch is turned off in him and he turns into this shy, vacant being who makes you so exhausted while you're trying to keep a conversation going. *face-palm*  It doesn't take long until I'm gone.  Now girls, don't get mad, shy guys can be sweet and they might be your type, (all the power to you) but they're not mine.  I like a confident (but not arrogant) guy who I won't feel like I'll have to mother all the time.  I want a man, not a son, damnit!  I've had that miserable experience once, and that was once too many. 

    Anyways, I pretty much loved that Disney wrote a song about this, and to all the guys reading this, take note of it.  A guy who is confident in himself and not afraid to take a chance is way more attractive and will keep our interest long enough to get to know him.  If you fall into the "shy guy" category, you're not being fair to yourself keeping your distance from that girl you like.  She'll move on before she gets to know the real you and go straight into that confident guy's arms across the room.

    Take a chance.

    Kiss the girl.

  • The (Not So Much of a) Best-Friend

    I recently started hanging out with my old friend (Let’s call her Hannah) from high school again.  We had a big falling out and I never thought we’d end up being friends again, but she came to check out my church once a few months ago and really loved it.  She had gone through a phase in the past where she claimed to be an atheist after her father died, so I was really happy for her and decided to give her a second chance as my friend.  Everything had been going ok until I told her about this guy from my church (Let’s call him Mark) who I sort of like. She then proceeded to take my phone off of me and text him that I like him. (I can do that for myself thank you very much, I was still deciding whether or not I would consider dating him because of some baggage he has)  Well, that opened up a whole night of texting from Mark, and Hannah started to get annoyed (hey, her idea, right??) so she sent him her number and told him to text her because she was bored!  So, she was texting him the same time as me and even kept texting him hours after I fell asleep that night, and then that continued into the next day, on my birthday might I add.  Then at my party last weekend (I set up a projector to watch a movie in my backyard) Mark sits on the ground beside me and Hannah happens to be on the other side of him and she scoots over so far next to him that their arms and legs are touching.  Oh yeah, I forgot to say that Hannah has a boyfriend who she’s been with for four years.  Now I just got a text from Hannah saying that she’s coming down Saturday night (she lives an hour away) to go to church with me the next day, and that she asked Mark to drive her home because her boyfriend won’t be able to pick her up.  I don’t understand people like her!  I know that if this were flipped around and her boyfriend was texting a girl one of his buddies liked and sitting next to her and flirting with her, Hannah would freak out, and so would the guy who liked the girl.  She’s supposed to be my friend and she’s doing everything a friend shouldn’t.  She’s using me again just like she did in high school and I know she’s only going to my church for the social scene and not to become a Christian because she told me the other day that she and her boyfriend were thinking of checking out Buddhism.  That makes me really sad and I want her to get saved, but at the same time I just want to tell her to get out my life!  Ugghhh!  What should I do?

    Dating and Christianity

    This past Sunday at Church, my pastor showed everyone an excerpt from a sermon called Marriage and Men by Mark Driscoll.  The sermon is aimed towards men, but is also helpful to single women in finding a mature, Christian guy.  After learning what type of men to stay away from, I'm nearly hopeless!  Uggh!  I mean, it would be AWESOME if I could ever find a guy who fits the Bible's requirements for a strong Christian husband, but today's society has seriously hindered any girl's chances of finding that.  I think all men should watch this sermon and take notes ;) http://www.marshillchurch.org/media/trial/marriage-and-men  I know this is mostly my lonliness talking, but I just pray that I'm not alone forever, lol!

  • Trusting Issues

    So nothing really happened with Sam's Club guy. My big issue right now is to stop trying to find a boyfriend and to trust in God and know that he has a plan for me... It's just hard to go from a four year relationship to NOTHING. I miss having someone to hold hands with, kiss, cuddle, etc.

  • How Do You Get Over an Unrequited Crush?

    I was over a friend's house for lunch the other day and we got to talking about dating.  She admitted feelings have come back for a guy she's "crushed" on in the past.  She's basically been on again - off again crushing on this guy for a couple years now and she just wants to either get over it or date him.  I was just fresh from reading the book, He's Just Not That Into You, so I told her that if he hasn't shown interest in you by now, then he never will.  The book said take the time it took you to notice a guy, divide that by half and that's the maximum amount of time it should take that same guy to notice you and determine if he's into you or not.  If he doesn't come up to you and ask for your number or facebook page, whatever, then he's either not into you or he's too scared, and who wants to go out with a weak guy like that anyway? 

    Have you ever been in my friend's situation?  Crushed on a guy/girl who you knew didn't like you back?  How did you get past it?
