Good Old Fashioned Courtship…

Okay, let’s take a break from talking about the “guy.” Instead, today I want to talk about the joy of courtship. Webster defines courting as “to seek the affections of”…Having someone court you is so much fun, especially in this day and age when people are looking for a “hook up” and that’s it. No one takes the time to really get to know you anymore (maybe that’s why I like “him” so much because we really know each other, but alas, I digress this blog isn’t supposed to be about him today)…and so different from what I have been used to lately. In the last month, as I have been lamenting the lack of a relationship with a certain loved one, an unexpected situation has arisen…I am now being pursued and courted…Ordinarily I would be a bit suspect, but for whatever reason, I find this person’s affections not only flattering, but intriguing and welcoming. It doesn’t hurt that the brother is fine, driven, spiritually aware and not afraid to express himself, intelligent, honest and creative…and tall, lol. He’s been so respectful and considerate that it actually took me by surprise…I mean he’s doing all the classic stuff…calls in the middle of the day while he’s at work just to check up on me…text messages saying I was thinking about you…already asking when he can come and visit (and vice versa), -btw-he’s not a local guy. It’s just nice. Although, we have just started the “getting to know you phase,” I feel like I’ve known him forever. And although my heart belongs to another equally as great guy, it feels good to feel wanted, admired and pursued. He actually called me his “future” the other day…so I guess we’ll see what God has in store for us.
