COURTING??? DATING???
After a whole week of choosing what is right or what might be wrong for me, i decided to go to church on Sunday seeking for answers from God in regard to my earlier situation. The praise and Worship was really good and then thereafter we were blessed to have Pastor Chris come to the Pulpit to give us the good teaching. For years i loved pastor Gary's preaching but of late i have been changing to Pastor Chris. Not that i think one is holier than the other but both are good in their own ways and with different topics.. Oops look at me drifting away from my entry, anyway when pastor Chris came up he started teaching us about marriage and love and then he came to courtship and dating...
Courtship: the time when people have a romantic relationship with the intention of getting married
Dating: the time people have a romantic relationship for passing time.
Then i got onto my phone and started texting The Man asking wat we were doing. Then he replied that for him he thought of it as more of courting than dating. I am sorry to bring back an old Ghost but at that same time i asked "Him", you all know who that is if anything was to happen what would it be? He replied back saying we would be dating. Aha so i was asking for an answer from God and he gave it to me.
So as i sat listening to Pastor Chris i realised that most of us spend almost 5 years dating someone hello 5 years wasting time? for a Woman this is total bullocks and then there after you start looking like your Date's mother and then he starts looking outside to find a "shiny". If you are in a relationship today you need to ask your self if its a courtship or just a date. Then you will know where you stand either as a TW (time Waster) or a serious person who wants to get married and have a family of their own.
That said however its not that all courtships end up in marriage no some people regardless of the fact that they could be courting their partners might be thinking otherwise and losing focus that is why it is important to sit your partner down and clear the air so that you know where you both stand.
I think i now seem to have gone astray front he point... What was the point anyway? I was just tryinr to bring out the difference in the relationships we get involved in today.
Listening to: JT
Mood: I have a lot of work and no salary yet so i am definitely sulking.

Love is a funny little thing.
You either love someone or you don't.
... If you love someone - regardless of whether you see a potential future with them - you want to 'waste' time with them.
... And on the other hand if you don't love them despite having a potential future with them - you don't waste time on them.
Courtship and dating is really irrelevant if you ask me.
It all comes down to the little thing we call our heart.
For what its worth - thats my 2 pence.
I was in church on Sunday pretty interesting sermon i liked it btw
heh heh. Now all those guys who go to KPC to meet chicks are not happy with the pastor,
I am sure I would go to KPC to meet all these chicks - Pastor Chris, Gary or Whoever. I am relentless like that.
Now, I am glad that you brought up the differences in courting and dating. However, you cannot ask a man if you are courting or dating.
That is just too much pressure - and we tend to find an easier way around things. Ask Baz.
If you want to know that a guy is serious, there is something called the power of suggestion. You could have asked him if he wants to wake up next to you each day for a week.
Then you would have seen him squirm - because that is being between a rock and a hard, hard place.
