Seven WRONG Reasons for Dating a Guy!

By Perry Noble, Christian Post Guest Columnist Thursday, April 05, 2012

#1 – "He cute!" – give it time, he won't be!

#2 – "He has money!" – that can (and most likely will) change! And money cannot buy the security your heart is longing for!

#3 – "I'm lonely!" – buy a dog, if it whines all the time you can throw it outside!

#4 – "I'm bored!" – Take a zumba class, update your pinterest account and read "The Hunger Games!" "But Perry, the trash gets taken out more than me," you say. I would tell you that may be true…but the only place trash gets taken to is the dump. AND…that you are NOT trash, you are a daughter of GOD!!!

#5 – "I feel sorry for him!" – and if you date him for this reason you will one day feel sorry for you!

#6 – "My friends are pressuring me!" – get a new set of friends!

#7 – "I'm getting older and my options are running out!" – so you are going to settle for a fixer-upper? It won't be pretty! Give God time…He knows what He's doing!
