"It is dating with a purpose. It's friendship plus possibility. It's romance chaperoned by wisdom. That's what i mean by setting a clear course for romance. It's not without risk; it's simply a way to be careful with the other person's heart while opening up your lives together to God's joyful best." - Taken from "Boy Meets Girl" By Joshua Harris

For the past 2 days, I've began reading normal books. I mean NO more books on Computing/Software. My brother bought this book for my birthday on July. Its been more than 4.5 months, when it suddenly draw me to it. To enlighten me. I was confused, unhappy and not knowing what to do in terms of my love life. Slowly I've learned. It requires patience. Yup... Like what the author describes....

".. going out to a fine restaurant with someone who doesn't have the patience to wait for each course of the meal to be served. The master chef has a wonderful plan that takes time to appreciate fully. But instead of enjoying each course individually, your date insists that all the courses - the drinks, the soup, the salad, the entree, the dessert - be blended together into one bowl of mismash. YUCK!"
"..... Instead of savoring the "courses" of an unfolding love story - acquaintance, friendship, courtship, engagement, marriage - impatient couples mash the sequence together. Before they've built a friendship, they start playing at love. Before they even thought about commitment, they're acting as though they own each other. Mishmash romance, like mishmash food, is an unappetizing mess."

I guess things do happen for a reason.
My impatience in relationships got me this far. Gave me the experience. And my brother buying this book so that I can learn from it. How funny things can just fall in place...

As I continue to read, maybe I'll post a few more lines that I find pretty interesting to share with. Though I'm not a Christian, and the book is writing in a Christian's point of view, but I still think it is a very good book. Read with open mind and heart, will be able to receive and understand better.
Acquaintance, Friendship, Courtship, Engagement, Marriage is what I've been looking for... But I didn't know how to go about getting to it.
Patience...
