Just for the record here...

I'm not too fond of boys who don't know what the heck they're doing with their life. Part of being ready for marriage is knowing that you can support a girl. That doesn't have to mean that you're out of college, have a job, and ready to "woo", but it does mean that you have somewhat of a plan.

Here's what I know: Guys say a lot of things. They say all these nice, wonderful things like "I love you" and "I want to spend the rest of my life with you" and even "I can't wait to marry you."
All of those things are wonderful, and I really hope to hear them again some day. I'm not being downer on all of that. What I'm trying to say is this: Don't tell me that you want to spend the rest of your life with me, unless you are 100% sure that you're ready to spend the rest of your life with me. Don't tell me that you want to marry me unless you know that if you had to, you'd marry me tomorrow and be perfectly ok with that.

I want a guy who can look me in the eye and say exactly what he means, and nothing else. Even if that means not saying I love you, or not saying that you want to marry me. I want a guy who says what he means, not what he thinks I want to hear, not what he thinks might get him in a better situation with me.

I want to wake up every morning to my best friend. I want to spend the rest of my life with someone who'll scale a mountain with me, or just hang out and play board games with by the fire. I want someone who I can spend hours in a car with and laugh my head off because He loves making me laugh that much. I want someone who I can just hang out with. That is truly what I want.

I want a guy who gets it. I want someone, who when I say things, they say "I know exactly what you mean"
I want someone who's passionate about what I'm passionate about, and maybe if he's not, that he's passionate about me being passionate, and has his own passions, and that those passions can coincide with each other. I want someone who I can run next to, who I can run this race to meet my Maker with.

Mainly, I want someone who loves his father, and who lives to please his Father, or tries very earnestly to live a life to please His father. I want a guy who wants to desire God.

And I'm really tired of it. I'm tired of meeting these scuz ball creepers.
It makes me think there are no truly good, and truly noble men left in the world.
And that makes me really sad. I meet lots of guys, lots and lots of single guys. Probably about half of those guys would say they are serious about their faith. Probably about 10 percent of those guys are serious about saying their serious about their faith.

So where does that leave me?
