Thought #1: Its probably a good idea to NOT date anyone in the singles ward. That just makes for a whole lot of awkward for everyone involved. Singles wards are awkward as is, let alone adding boyfriends, ex-boyfriends, last night's date, and FHE buddies in the mix. It does make Sundays VERY interesting though! But, I don't recommend it.
Thought #2: I read this on an old friend of mine's blog a few months ago, and let me tell you...story of my freaking life! She definitely nailed it on this one....(talk about amazing writer)
"If it looks like a frog...and it sounds like a frog...IT IS A FROG. Sure he could be sweet. He could talk a big game. He could charm his tiny frog butt off. He could even be sort of cute, in an amphibian-y-sort-of-way.
But that does not change the fact that he is A FROG. And what in your life, may I ask, has lead you to believe that a frog could ever be anything other than a frog?
He's painting a pretty picture in your head of magic and miracles and Happily Ever After. And all it takes is a little emotional investment on your part. A little trust. A little vulnerability...
A little kiss...
It sounds so easy...so happy...so safe. Just take that one tiny risk. Just let down your defenses, close your eyes, pucker up and kiss the-
FROG.
ITS A FREAKING FROG.
And despite what the fairy tale may tell you, FROGS DO NOT TURN INTO PRINCES.
Frogs are frogs.
Princes are princes.
You only get confused because you are kidding yourself. Take a step back and see the frog for what it is: NOT A PRINCE.
So put down the slimy creature, step away from the swamp, turn yourself right back around and head straight home to the castle. I mean, you're a PRINCESS for heaven's sake! There are PRINCES waiting to sweep you off your feet! Why in the world would you be wasting your time with frogs in the first place? Open your eyes sweetie--you're worth a whole lot more than what that frog is willing to give you."
Now that i've got that off my chest...Cheers to the weekend!
