Last week was a torrential storm of emotions and excitement only to be extinguished in one night. I began texting back and forth and talking on the phone with a guy who seemed perfect. In fact, one of my friends began referring to him as "Mr. Amazing." Well, there were pieces of his life that he was not upfront about until we met up in person. First being the fact that his pictures on the internet we not up to date. He had had a pretty bad motorcycle accident that had left him in pretty bad shape. The second and most important piece he left out of his history was the fact that he had spent time in prison for embezzlment. Needless to say, I have been pretty disillusioned and renewed a committment in my heart to wait on God and really be patient about any opportunity that comes by way. One of the primary ways that I am doing this is by only checking my internet dating accounts once a day (as opposed to 5 or 6) and only after praying to God and asking him to sift through my heart and fill my neediness. I have also cancelled a couple memberships I have to some dating sites that I was dissatisfied with and now I'm down to just two that I am invested in. I have a feeling that this MIGHT mean much fewer dates, but maybe the overall quality will pick up. :)
Cautious and Hopeful,
ODQ
