clarification
clarification sa post ko kahapon.
I'm not saying na hindi ko na bina-value ung love thingié (true love waits) na yan. Sinasabi kase ng iba, bitter lang ako. Basta lang, let's get real. I still respect naman the idea of waiting -- waiting because something more important has yet to be done by each individual. But it does not mean you have to wait -- JUST WAIT -- forever for the right one to come into your life. Nagwe-wait ka nga, alam mo ba kung sinong wini-wait mo? And how would you know? I believe, though, that for some people the Lord has already revealed to them who their "the ones" are. But I guess there are but just a few of them. That's why it's important that you know how to listen when the Lord speaks. Hehe!Ü
Let's also get rid of those signs, ok? (I'm referring to self-made signs here.) Co'z if we do, whence then is the element of choice?
We have to give dating the chance. Siyempre minus all the dirty kissing and every fleshly thing that goes with it, noh. Hindi naman kase tungkol dun yun e. Mapusok lang talaga yung iba. It's about the relationship. Basta ba clear ung direction ng relationship e. If in the middle of it, the Lord says, "Stop," e di stop na. Let's get real nga e. Though the world is temporary for us who believe in eternity, it's still reality -- and right now, we're in it. We live in it. And cannot depart from it unless the Lord calls us home. Ü

(Hey!, I didn't say conform with it, ok?Ü)
Well, after all, I'm thankful I've waited.
(Hehe! Nagpapakatotoo lang. Tao din.Ü)

JUST WAIT... the statement doesn't end there: ...TRUST ME. It's not about waiting, it's a matter of putting our trust in the Lord, that he knows what he's doing and why he's doing so. Dating is not in itself a sin, but it is a step that may lead to sin if we get too careless. Learn from the story of David: his choice of staying in the palace is not a sin. Who would think that it would lead to a series of sins?
Like David's decision in staying home, giving dating a chance is an amoral decision. How sure are we that it won't lead to getting into an unintended relationship? And in the middle of it, how sure are we that we would still be able to hear God's voice? If he wasn't able to, how sure are we that we are better than the man after God's own heart? And if God did clearly say, "Stop!", would we be able to stop cold turkey, in the middle of the "excitement"?
We should check our motives before we get involved into anything:
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? -Jeremiah 17:9
God did not design dating, the world did. When we date, are we not, then, conforming with the world?
