I have decided this semester to take a dating and courtship class that I have falling in love with. I have learned so much in this class and wish it would never come to an end. My teacher is just amazing. He makes the class worth going to. I have learned so much. Out of all of my classes I have had this semester, this is the one I'm the saddest to say goodbye to. It has given me something to look forward to every tuesday and thursday. This thursday is the last day...the end of my life. (or so it feels). But I am hoping to be able to go on dates and apply what I have learned from this class on these dates. To be able to find the one guy who is ment to be my husband. Then to use what I have learned to help me maintain a healthy and happy engagement and then marriage. I feel like I have been able to not only get better at communicating with guys but also with friends. There are somethings from this class that can be applied to friendships also. Well I"m probably boring you to death about how much I'm going to miss this class so here are some dating tips I learned from the class that i have fallin in love with. Hope you enjoy them like I do.
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you
Be careful not to use other people's lame dating patterns or standers as the standard for you
One thing that will prepare you for marriage is to learn how to make and keep a friend
To get dates, make yourself accessible to other people
It will take some pressure off dating if your focus is trying to make friends with the people you date rather than worrying about whether or not you will become boyfriend and girlfriend. People marry their friends.
Be measured and disciplined in revealing your feelings for someone. It creates a less pressured atmosphere for a relationship to grow. There is intrigued in mystery. Respect the growth cycle of other people's feelings
Constant assessment of a relationship can sometimes prohibit it's growth.
Keep at the flirting. Vary your methods. There is more than one way to talk to that someone you want to get to know.
Obvious attempts are okay. subtle attempts are great too. Awkward attempts are even cute.
Failed attempts aren't wasted. People are flattered and entertained and it's our Christian duty to lift others and bring joy into their lives.
If we don't move out of our comfort zone, we won't grow, and if we don't grow we won't find joy.
A reminder: you measure your success as a young single adult not by whether you are engaged or nearly engaged...but by how much you are conversing, flirting, and making new friends with those that you like.
Another class that I'm going to miss is Art History. My teacher has made the class o worth going to. I love being there. I have learned lots in the class through the semester and feel like I understand art better now. I love to point out different style periods in each art or architecture that I see. I can't wait to take more art history classes in the future.
I'm also going to miss english. For so many reasons. I love my english class but luckily I have more english classes to take. I have found a love for writing. I have volunteered to write essays for friends or to edit them for them when they are complaining about how much they hate writing essays.
Well those are the classes I'm going to miss.
