SHOPPING AROUND or MAKING A PURCHASE?


As many of you know, I love running. Two nights ago my running watch that tracks all my runs went dud and died on me. I spent the next 3 hours sitting on my couch surfing the net for solutions to fix it while simultaneously comparison shopping for an upgrade on the watch...two days later and I'm still shopping around, not willing to commit to anything yet...what does this have to do with searching for the One?!

Maybe if you put as much time and thought into choosing who you date or say 'yes' to as you would into say...purchasing a car, a home, a new pair of shoes, that perfect dress, etc., you wouldn't be so quick to settle for the wrong person!

To the ladies...some of us wouldn't be caught dead outside without our hair 'did' and our makeup on, nor would we roll into some event where we know people will be checking us out without ensuring our outfit is killer! We may spend days, maybe weeks shopping for that perfect, figure flattering, figure enhancing outfit right?! So....why would we waste time on some guy who doesn't even meet our minimum expectations just because he's got the swag, dropped some pretty sweet lines that he's probably used a million times before, and is just sooo hot! - really? Is that enough to risk losing your heart to?

To the men...you wouldn't drop cash on your latest electronic toy of choice (X-box, Playstation, iPad, etc.) without consulting your buddies, the internet, your mom (lol) and any other 'trusted' source. Soooo....why would you pursue a woman merely on her exterior? Do you not look under the hood of a car prior to purchase? Why not take time to see what her heart and soul are about before settling for mere looks that fade away and may leave you with the nagging, annoying, needy girlfriend/wife you swore you'd never have!

So singles...take time to do your research...marriage is too risky a lifetime investment to forgo taking the time to make the right decision on!

Wishing you success as you window shop!
