Anyway, he may be in my neck of the woods next weekend and would like to go out with me again. It's always nice when a guy you meet after chatting with online is still interested after meeting face-to-face. Woohoo!juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361843863209384103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14705332.post-50382258100973201942010-02-12T16:35:32.231-07:002010-02-12T16:35:32.231-07:00Sarah, I'm glad I'm not the only one who f...Sarah, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way sometimes! However, today I read a quote that may change my life...if I let it. Stephen Covey: "Basing our happiness on our ability to control everything is futile." I really need to relax and not try to be in control of everything...especially my emotions.<br /><br />Keira, you know, I keep thinking that's how it's going to be when I find someone who is right for me, but I'm not sure enough to not give the "hard ones" a healthy chance. Maybe they aren't easy because I complicate things and I'll always complicate things, so it will never be easy. :)<br /><br />*deep breath* *must remember the above quote!*<br /><br />*smile*juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361843863209384103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14705332.post-9552005333606142152010-02-12T16:15:19.534-07:002010-02-12T16:15:19.534-07:00I agree with the don't stress part.

I did like a few other guys, but everything just fell into place once we really started seeing each other. I think that was a sign for me that he was the one. Don't know if that's good advice or not, since everyone/situation is different. I like hearing about all of your boys though! ;)KieraAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02780529288762190356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14705332.post-77406672008334196852010-02-12T08:24:41.300-07:002010-02-12T08:24:41.300-07:00It's not that I don't agree with your dad....It's not that I <i>don't</i> agree with your dad... it's just that I've gotten similar advice before from my dad... "just relax and have fun."<br /><br />Well, I'm sorry... sometimes the stress out-weighs the fun!!!!<br /><br />And yet, I like what you just said about dating is better than not dating.

I really like lady bugs, and the color red, so it was a match made in blogger heaven. Speaking of fun...I'm looking forward to hanging out with you and our friends tomorrow!<br /><br />Cassie, thanks for being excited for me. I'm planning on seeing you this weekend...so don't back out on me! I'm looking forward to it!<br /><br />Melissa, you know, sometimes I wonder if there really is a guy out there that will make me fall head over heals. I keep thinking that all this is harder than it should be. Or am I just an idiot and make things harder than they are? :)<br /><br />Missy, yeah, I'd totally swap your school and home stress if you'd date for me. You're obviously good at it! :) I am having fun, and dating is certainly better than not dating.<br /><br />Framed, yeah, I'm not looking for perfect, just someone that feels right. Someone who is patient and who doesn't give up on me when I go cuckoo. Perfect is too intimidating, not to mention unrealistic. <br /><br />Tearese, I love getting your perspective on dating/marriage, thanks! I am having fun, though I'm also stressing, too. I wouldn't be me otherwise! Sigh. Sometimes I wish I weren't so like me. :) I'd love to hear that story sometime!juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361843863209384103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14705332.post-74087998132759885072010-02-11T14:52:23.531-07:002010-02-11T14:52:23.531-07:00What a crazy time!

I liked a lot of people around the time I met Joseph, but none of them were actually that interested in me, so I never had that dilema!<br />I agree with everyone, don't feel like you have to settle on someone now, but don't give up on someone about something small...wait and see what happens!<br /><br />I have to admit that after I got engaged, there were several moments that I thought, "wow what am I doing, I can't marry him!" Like when I met his family. But thats another story...<br /><br />Hope you're having fun and not too stressed!tearesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362666264858845959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14705332.post-3486000246177034872010-02-11T13:23:06.552-07:002010-02-11T13:23:06.552-07:00When did your dad get to be so smart? ;) I totall...When did your dad get to be so smart? ;) I totally agree with him. Keep your options open and enjoy the process. I just read a review on a book about getting married. It said that most women don't get married because they are looking for "the perfect one," instead of finding someone that is "good enough." I certainly wouldn't want to live up to perfection. I would feel so inadequate. There is someone out there who will make you happy. Just wait for it.Framedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13703547279309902320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14705332.post-45032127286087448352010-02-10T22:19:52.052-07:002010-02-10T22:19:52.052-07:00I thought my life with school and home and such wa...I thought my life with school and home and such was stressful, but I am thankful I'm not in your dating shoes. I think your flirtatious nature suits you well for this line-up. Your dad did give great advice. You have to work and play simultaneously with dating, otherwise you won't find who you're looking for. I'm glad you're having fun. :)Mellissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14798024954503368060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14705332.post-57748514318911391322010-02-10T14:13:38.777-07:002010-02-10T14:13:38.777-07:00I too, agree with your dad.
