My Epiphany: Going forward, I will only date marriage quality men.
I used to think my friends were crazy and secretly "wanting" or "trying" to get married when they said this. "Girl, I can't date him, he's not marriage quality" and I'd roll my eyes and be like "do you WANT to be married soon or something? If not, why's it matter?".
Stupid MsNadi. ![Wallbash :wallbash: :wallbash:](/smilies/wallbash.gif)
My new thing. I'm done dating men that aren't marriage quality. If I can't see myself marrying because of WHO you are, then I don't need to be dating you. Chances are the same reasons that prevent you from being marriage quality will prevent us from even enjoying the "dating".
It doesn't mean that every man is a potential "marriage partner" or even that I'm looking to get engaged/married, cuz I'm not. It's just that I realize - dating men who are outside of the realm of that "marriage quality" leads to problems. Because there are certain attributes that I like/want in a man and when you lack these, the "dating" won't even work.
That is all.
What about you? When you were single, what were some of your dating epiphanies? Your AHA moments? What have you learned?!
