[quote name='Iacobus' date='Aug 10 2004, 11:14 AM'] Really not sure why I am saying this... it is the AP brat in me.

Yes, Gentlewomen do exist. They are the wives and daughters of gentlemen, lol. Or at least in the olden sense of the word.

Today, well today, Colleen is making me read books by female authors and *shudders* I am enjoying them. :wacko: So you can't be sure of anything today. [/quote]
He's right about the gentlewomen.

Oh, and I never [i]made[/i] you read those books. I merely [i]suggested[/i] that you read them. You were the one who went to B&N. :D

But I'm glad you're enjoying them. :)

[quote]hahahahahaha I dont wanna play board games with you either!!!! HAH lol.... those things can hurt if you chunk them hard enough[/quote]

When we first got married we played risk at a friend's house and he backstabbed me and did bad, betraying things one should never do in risk and I rubbed my ice cream in his hair... woops. I have learned a little self control since then. What a waste of perfectly good ice cream! :whistle:

Oh a really good book to read is "Arms of Love" by Carmen Marcoux. I loved it and so did my fourteen year old sister. It's 100% Catholic romance... the best way.

Here is her website where you can get the book.

my 2 cents: I used to think that you HAD to go out with a girl and it was the "cool" thing to do. i went out with this girl for 3 months and i have to say that it changed me- now when i see everyone talking about whos goin out with who etc. it just strikes me as foolish. i bet that as i get into high school ill probably be casualy dating (chaistly of course) and such but idk- im like in this limbo ever since i broke up with that girl- and that was back in january.


if u really like a girl (or a dude) an u got sumthing going then sure go out an spend sum time 2gether- but keep it pg. ;)

I think dating, from a Catholic standpoint, is really stupid if you're not seeking a potential spouse.

All you end up with is a dirty feeling and a broken heart.

I dated a guy that I thought I was going to marry, but he proved to be immature, socially young, and without ambition (and a faith that he would leave behind :sadder:) I reached a point where I asked him, "why are we even dating when none of us wants to marry anytime soon?" What went from "let's take a break" very rapidly to "sorry, you're not what I'm looking for in a life partner."

I don't think holding hands and a short but sweet dry smooch is a bad thing, so long as it doesn't get anyone's gears going. But french kissing and groping in certain areas is for one thing only: foreplay -- and is wrong unless you're married.

Saving the kiss for the wedding is highly admirable.

All I'm going to say about this is I refuse to date until I'm ready for marriage. And I refuse to consider marriage when my definition of it is so limited.

Don't worry. I don't hate anyone, ever. And I'm really bad at checkers. You would win. I would practice humility. I guess it's a win, win situation!!!

What is your definition of it? And why is it limited?
