I had some pretty interesting conversations with my best friend the other night. We are both feeling simply fed up with the "relationship games" that go on. We are tired of being lonely. We are both happy, fun, outgoing Christan girls. We both have a good head on our shoulders, we know what we want. Basically, we know that we are amazing... but we've got baggage. Is that enough to scare away every decent guy? Are we only good enough for the guys who are looking for a good time?

I wonder how many other girls feel this way? As if there is a formula out there for us as Christians to follow in order to have a "good life." A twelve step program for living the perfect life in order to get the perfect husband, with the perfect job, and raise two perfect children. While my friend and I realize that God has great things planned for us, in HIS time, we are ready NOW and are tired of waiting around.

What's the next step for us? Do we sit around and wait for our future husband to come riding in on his white horse to rescue us from the monotony of our day to day? Or do we need take the lead? I am fond of chivalry, so I'm not about to step out and start asking guys on dates. I fully believe that it is the Male's role to pursue us girls. But what do we, as women, need to do to light a fire under the asses of today's men?

I'm sorry to report that I, obviously, don't have the answer. If I did, I wouldn't be having these conversations over dinner with my best friend. I wouldn't be planning a girls weekend to drink wine and eat chocolate and complain about guys. And I wouldn't be writing this blog!

All this to say, guys, if there is a girl in your life who is still single and you can't seem to figure out why... man up and take her out to dinner, or coffee. You never know what may come of it. You may find a new friend, or you may find the woman of your dreams. The one that you never knew was right in front of you. Come on, you've got nothing to loose.

And girls, don't loose hope! Like I said, God does have amazing things planned for us. In the meantime, find your true friends, grab a bottle of TwoBuckChuck, rent some chick-flicks, bake some cookies, and enjoy a weekend of being amazing women!
