Cinderella Story
I said it before and I'll say it again, I change like a fiddle changes it's tune.
I thank you all for your comments on the last blog, it shows people care and only want what is best for me.
When Jon asked me out, for a day or two I was living in a fairy tale. A good looking guy was wanting to take me out! How could I not be over joyed? I am 23 this year and never dated , never asked out and then Jon comes along and makes me feel pretty and wants to be nice and take me on a date. So I wrote Janet and then I had to redeem myself, for people who read Janets blog by writting my own and then it just seemed to make this run from there.
Note; if this isn't making sense I'm sorry.
He just wants to take me out... I guess, as... an act of kindness ( I have heard other things as to why he wants to take me out. But I don't believe they are true)
What I guess I'm saying is that, like Cinderella, my time has hit 12 and my horses are turning back into mice and my ride into a punkin. But like Cinderella it was a nice time to have. None of you have to worry, that I was going to hurt his feelings........ I wouldn't have.
We still have this so called "date" to go on... but we would never be "dating" to set this whole matter stright ( sorry if I have miss lead, we both don't want to be dating and working together).
I just got stuck in a moment, I now I have to get out of it.

You too with the U2? Good song though, brings back a lot of great memories. But I digress, Joy I am glad you've seen the light. "I love you, and God loves you and that's the way it should be Hallelujah" - Author unknown - at least to me.
P.S. My word verification is Jmmyna - I think it's the scientific name for syrup, know what I mean??? Probably not, but play along anyway.

Hey Joy, you dont need his "kindness". Don't define yourself by the what you percieve as success in others. It'll happen someday- all the "jon's" wont matter one bit!
I remember my almost first 'date'. Same thing. A girl found out that I had never dated (I was turning 18) so she agreed to go to dinner with my on my birthday. I decided not to go as I discovered that she only agreed to go because she felt sorry for me. I am so very glad that my first date was not a pitty date.
I pray that if you go with this guy, you won't look back on it as one either. From what I have read, it appears that you are saying that his main reason for asking you out is because you have never dated anyone yet. You also mention that neither one of you seems to really be into the other person.
First times at anything only come around once.
See I joke with him and say this is only a pitty date, but then he looks at me and says " this would never be a pitty date, I don't pitty you or feel sorry for you, so do look at this as such" but I agree it could be a pitty date or if what others say is true... never mind.
I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings or diminish your worth. You are a gift from God for someone very special. You are also rare, as you have matured to a wonderful 23 years of age without being tarnished with bad experiences.
But as I say this, it is by those mistakes that we learn not to make them again. Perhaps by dating this man whom you couldn't picture yourself with, you will learn more about yourself and what God truly desires in your mate instead of just what you desire. Most times, people are humbled when they learn God's desire in their lives.
ummm what does his girlfriend think about all this?
I don't know if the girlfriend thing is true or not, I wouldn't go if it is. I have never seen her and he hangs out with people from work each night. So when does he spend time with her? I have heard all kinds of stories, but that is it they're stories. I have also heard a lot of great things about him. I never thought this would bring up so much controversy. ( if that is the right word to use here)
Everyone must be interested in your life because theirs is dull next to yours. You are amazing. I hope you don't go out with this Jon fellow 'cause you should let me take you out for your first date. I love you!!!!
Signed; your future husband
These have to be the best couple of blogs. Don't you love all of the advice? I really like the anonymous ones, that I don't think should rate at all if they aren't confident enough in what they say to put their names on their opinions...I still haven't figured out if you are going to go or not. Way to keep us guessing!
Well, if you really want to know who I am, I can tell you my name. I only wrote the first two anonymous comments; not the one about Jon having a gf. Chances are pretty good that you don't know me since I don't really know you. I signed my name as anonymous because knowing that my name is Paul is about as useful to you as being anonymous. I am a friend of a friend of someone who reads and comments on these blogs alot. I have neither met you, nor will I likely meet you anytime in the future.
I commented because I am proud of you for sticking to your moral worth. From what I've read, you are obviously an amazing woman of faith. Even if you write about toe jam on your sibling's blogs.
May God bless you in whatever decision you make.
There you go Joy, now you have met Paul. I think knowing your name is helpful, because I am a nosey old lady who has known Joy all her life and feel somewhat protective of her. I liked your comments Paul, and was speaking in general of anonymous comments, not just on this blog.
Thanks paul for the advice, and I have some for you too. there is the anonymous button for a reason, I know that I use it myself. Sometime God can lay things on our hearts and they are only ment to be spoken through us, not for us to clam. I'm sorry you felt pushed to tell. And mag, I love so much that you worry about me like you do your own. Thanks for being there for me so much, don't stop.
So last night I was really praying about this date, something I haven't done. And what hit me was that if I go or not, God is with me looking out for me. So I asked Him to protect me if I was going to step into something foolish and stop me if it wasn't His will, but I also prayed that He could other wise bless this date and make me a blessing. Last night at work we were talking about faith and I had this thought that if for no other reason... maybe I'm in his life to share my faith, oh, wait..thats why anyone comes into our life. All I ask is that you pray that I can be used by God in this and all should go well.
is this guy a christian?
