To: Mr.Right From:Me

Dear Mr. Right,

Do you know how hard it is to be a teenage girl who doesn't date? Seriously. In times where all girls are Justin Beber crazy or going nuts over vampires. In a time where you can change your relationship status in just a click. In a time where people feel the need to have their phones glued to their hands, anxiously checking to see if they have a new text from a crush. Where girls think they have to wear skin tight clothes and booty short skirts in order to feel accepted, pretty or noticed. A time where people feel like they have to change who they are to get a guys attention or even go further in a relationship just to keep him. A time where everyone feels like they need to be loved and a time where it's good to have much "experience". A time where people desire to be in a relationship and by relationship I mean the right to touch and ownership.

Kids are so dumb.

What ever happened to Mr. Darcy and the gentlemen out there? Or when you first met a person you didn't ask for a number and to hook up but instead you'd meet, talk, laugh, and converse, Got to know each other and met their parents, and eventually, if you felt close to this person, thought about future rather than thinking about the present and how to please yourself now. What ever happened to the guys who helped you into your coats and opened doors. What ever happened to when love was patient and you'd wait for days maybe weeks for your letter from your courter. Where girls were modest and guys respected that; where they saw you for compassion and kindness on the inside before seeing too much outward appearance. How about the times where the family was there and always the number one priority; why look much further for love or acceptance. A time where people desired to be in a relationship and by relationship I mean they're ready to take a step forward towards marriage.

I know, I know, it's hard-to-nearly-impossible to find that "perfect person". And I know, I know, I don't mean all people are like my "bad-mean" descriptions above in this day and age. And I know, I know, life will never be perfect and no relationship will. And no it won't. No body can be perfect, but maybe if we start with ourselves and work on making our insides better before looking for relationships outwardly. Then maybe we can be that almost perfect person for someone else. Maybe if we concentrated on accomplishing new goals and excelling in the God given gifts within us maybe we will be able to confident with ourselves without needed someone else to confirm it. If we spend more time caring for other people that are placed in our lives rather than reaching out for someone to love us maybe we would find that exception. Maybe if girls started to make stronger bonds with their fathers and sons with their mothers maybe they'll find out how they really should treat their future wife or husband.

So what if we started loving others as brothers and sisters rather than a potential mate. What if I dressed more modestly? Or you started opening doors? I was patient and waited? And you did too?

To anyone else who reads this, now is the time of our lives to be independent and to be social; it's not a time where you should have to constantly feel like your married to a person. Save that for when your ready. Now, work on yourself so that you can really show love to the person made just for you. So you can be Mr. or Mrs. Right.
