I just found your blog through a guest post...Hello! I just found your blog through a guest post you did and I love what you've been posting! This post especially is what I've been struggling with as well. I'm in the same place as you--19, in college, and never had a boyfriend. This past year I tried to find a boyfriend in all the wrong places and it wasn't until I left for the summer that I realized that God has someone special picked out for each and every one of us. There's nothing I can do other than to pray for him that will make this future husband come any faster. I started reading the book Lady in Waiting as well and I loved it! It focuses on being single and preparing yourself for your husband. I think you'd really like it!<br /><br />I hope you have a great day!<br />~Ruth Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065363601661778437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140057690761884909.post-53694898827042506302013-07-17T14:31:12.184-04:002013-07-17T14:31:12.184-04:00Annaliese,
Can I say how much I love this post?
...Annaliese, <br />Can I say how much I love this post? <br /><br />I got my first kiss a little bit over a year ago (all of my friends were having sex, yet I still was yet to be kissed), and I went a little crazy in college first semester and kissed a couple more guys (a couple more than I wanted to..), and it wasn't until six months ago that I had a boyfriend. I was "talking" to this guy from school who was, quite frankly, a major douche! He would play me so bad, and we'd kiss and then he'd do something that got me annoyed and we'd be back and forth for a while. Finally, this semester, I told him on the first day back that I was done with it and I didn't want to be anything more than friends with him.<br /><br />It was that night that my best friend called me to come over, and I went as usual, and he kissed me. He was the quiet boy I loved, the one I went to church with, and the one who told me it was "distasteful" that I kissed a handful of guys first semester. A week after that, we began officially talking, and a week after that, we were official. It's been almost six months with him and I am the world's happiest girl because he was a great guy. So, wait. Seriously. Don't rush into any relationship because there's someone who's worth it for you.. I used to be so frustrated that I was 18 and never had a boyfriend, and I would get so annoyed that doucheface wasn't serious about me, until I realized he wasn't right for me. <br /><br />I'm so proud of you for this post and for your views :) <br /><br />xo caro | the caro diariesCaro @ The Caro Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13573086998212629181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140057690761884909.post-79271641171777504212013-07-15T17:25:05.129-04:002013-07-15T17:25:05.129-04:00Hi! I've been following your blog for a while,...Hi! I've been following your blog for a while, and let me tell you something. You seem to be an extremely sweet girl and should not worry about not having a relationship or dating yet. I personally don't share your religious views (I'm christened but I'm not a practicant anymore), but I agree with you, timing is key. Even though I've had my flings, I have never had a boyfriend, and I'm 21 turning 22 soon. It's true that I've sometimes felt terrible about always being the single one in my group of friends, but I believe that Prince Charming will turn up when you expect him the least, for sure! My advice is that you don't rush things, they will come when it's time, and remember that you're eighteen-years-YOUNG! You have plenty of time!<br /><br />You should focus on the things that make you happy now. Family, friends, the beach, summer, fashion, your faith, home, whatever it is. I read that you are transferring to a new college, so you will meet tons of new people, and who knows, maybe the right guy will be one of those! <br /><br />I'm in a similar situation to yours, as I'm starting my MA in one of the Big Ten universities, and I couldn't be more excited!! I love meeting so many people from totally different cultures (I'm Spanish) and this will be a great opportunity! And maybe I'll finally meet my Prince Charming! <br /><br />Stay strong and happy! :)<br /><br />Ane<br />http://aneicardoincolorado.blogspot.com.esAne I.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15791394671215359824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140057690761884909.post-77840509203511607192013-07-15T16:05:08.294-04:002013-07-15T16:05:08.294-04:00I can't say how awesome you are for posting th...I can't say how awesome you are for posting this! I feel the exact same way and I can relate so much to this! I think I've told you before that I've never had a boyfriend or been on a date before. In high school, I thought that was the worst thing ever. I thought having a boyfriend was very important. Mainly because of that stage of life and because of the messages the media and the world were sending. I never thought of it as a failure before, but I think I did feel that way: like I failed. You chose the right words to describe this! <br /><br />Towards the end of high school, I started to put my faith in God and His timing for my love story. Yesterday I was reading about how God romancing us and our lives with Him are the ultimate love story. It's so encouraging and comforting to know that God has everything under control and he's faithful!<br /><br />Thanks for your courage to write this post and to share your thoughts :) Love ya girl! <br /><br />xo, gina<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07808085175094634163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140057690761884909.post-17595241679156611632013-07-15T10:50:27.375-04:002013-07-15T10:50:27.375-04:00Thanks for this post friend, I needed it.

After dating a couple boys in the past who were honesty just jerks and not the guys God ever intended for me to date, God has made it clear since those mistakes that I must wait on His timing and His timing alone. It is definitely hard, because I feel this desire getting stronger and stronger and like you said I feel so much pressure from the world around me to have a boyfriend. Thanks for reminding me that Jesus is my first love and that He is going to give me a husband when the time is right. After all, He clearly knows me way better than I could ever know myself.
