what boyfriend?

i was flippin' through channels yesterday on the t.v....what a waste of time. my interest in television since returning home from rockridge is pretty much nil. it's fantastic, really, a nice place to be. but i thought i would try it out, meh, and low and behold there was a program on where a girl was wearing a shirt that said "what boyfriend?". i thought it was a bit amusing (hence why this entry is named so). why you ask? good question, pretty much it sums up the question that many of my girlfriends are asking, including myself.

if you refer back to an entry called "apples and wine", i've sort of touched on this subject before. and really it's not even about having a boyfriend. it honestly confuses me how quality, beautiful ladies out there not being pursued AT ALL. (the same goes for some guys i know) what's the deal?

guys are you afraid? well the answer to that question is obvious to me...of course you are. nobody wants to put themself out there without knowing they'll be marginally successful. is that a wrong assumption? and guys, do you think that you should make some sort of 'move' first to demonstrate your interest, or do you pursue a girl you like based on a demonstrated interest towards you?

it gets confusing hey? i'm confused. relationships seem unnecessarily complex sometimes. why do nice guys think they finish last? why do great girls think the same thing?

anyhow, just some random thoughts to put out there. i find comfort in the fact that God knows. He knows the bigger picture, He knows what's best for us...who's best for us. i'm really excited for that person who God has for me, because he is wonderful! but in the meantime, i know that in this time of singleness, that God wants me to use it well, and enjoy it and enjoy Him. sometimes that is wayyyyy easier said than done, but in the end it's worth it.
