Well it's a new week and a new topic.
The topic of choice is Dating.
Dating is a wonderfully funny and great thing. I personally love dating. Especially college style dating. It is good, bad, and sometimes it is just awkward. No matter the style of dating (whether good, bad, or awkward) I will always feel inclined to say Yes.
So why is it such a struggle for some boys to ask girls out for a date. I really do think it is hard to knock on a door or dial a number, but not hard enough to give up eternal salvation with a perfectly wonderful woman. I was writing a missionary today (not my missionary, just a missionary:) who fully believes I will be married before he gets back. I wrote back asking him how he plans for me to get married if I don't even go on dates? Hmmmmm? Well lucky for me our ward does a little arranged service dating (kind of like an arranged marriage without the commitment part). Two names are just picked out of a hat and before you know it those two people are sent out to serve. I was drawn just this weekend but that story will come your way tuesday.
I think dating is just a fun thing and the only thing in this society that will lead to eternal marriage. So what if a girl/boy kindly turns you down. Shake it off. Cross him or her off (the potential for eternal companion list). And move on to better prospects. More than likely there will be one date that will turn into two dates that will turn into an 20 dates that will continue into engagement and eternal life with an eternal companion. Then all the pain of rejection will be totally forgotten and loves pure bliss will take its place.
Post Script: What is the best date you have ever been on? Not necessarily the best person you have been on a date with, but the best activity/ plan that has ever been produced by a great mind?
