I use it because I love you. And our date at The Hobbit Cafe was really fun. [/quote] Thanks, dude. I didn't mean to lead you on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 [quote name='GeorgiiMichael' timestamp='1346511839' post='2477147'] My advice is to be wary of the stories everyone has given. While apparently they're typical on Phatmass, they're atypical everywhere else. That's not to say that you should just flat-out reject the idea of proposing on the second date, or marrying the first or second person that you date. Some people find their spouse in high school, others don't find their spouse until well into their adult life. It's about the right person, not about the ideal time-frame. [/quote] To be fair, it took ten months for us to go on our second date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I would agree especially with the last sentence of Georgi's post above. I have to add that perhaps the reason the " story " he cautions you to be wary of is so more typical here on Phatmass than "everywhere else" may be what one is looking for in a date. If a person is truly open to God's plan for marriage and not just looking for companionship or casual sex, then this openness to the will of God may be the key that has lead them so early on to meet the right person. ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tally Marx Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I would just say...don't try too hard. If you try too hard, *you* are going to *find* somebody. Let God send you somebody, instead. Oh, and chocolate. Nothing more need be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Well, you certainly have your criteria chalked up. My main advice would be, don't stick to them too closely. Hopefully Trisha won't kill me for saying so, but when I first met her back in June I didn't think she fit all my criteria. The real magic began when I realised I could do without my own desires but couldn't do without her, in all her glorious imperfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
