Dating does not equal being sleazy or selling yourself out. I wound up married to my first boyfriend after four years of dating him. I was his first girlfriend too. Also, just because you are dating someone does not mean you are necessarily screwing them. WE didn't have sex til our wedding night. Too bad the person who wrote that original post can't control themself or make good decisions unless someone is holding their hand every minute.
If I had let my so-called christian parents choose a husband for me, this is what I would have got: an insane, mentally sick, abusive basterd. Since that is what my father was and what my mother looked for repeatedly in a male. LIterally every one of her relationships has been abusive. She's very sick in the mind, she seeks it out and isn't happy unless she's getting beat. My father wass just as sick in the head since the second he couldn't get his way he tried to hit you instead of using reasoning or talking it out. Also, my father was married three times and my mother four. Christian parents know better, hummmmm.
But I rebelled against them and found a husband who was nice and sensitive and unviolent. When I got engaged at 17 my father ignored me completely, never even talked to me again, even when his grandkids were born. And my mother told me I was a ridiculous fool who would get used and abandon, she said my fiance was a disgusting pig just like me, and she beat me with a belt. Again these were two christian people, who were active in their church and were devoted to the bible.
But you know what? I ran away from them. We 'disgusting pigs' have now been married sixteen years, are totally madly in love still, and have four beloved kids who never get hit or insuulted.
Really, I am so glad that parents aren't allowed to choose their kids spouse. I would probably be dead if they did. The person who wrote this is a fool.
