I recently discovered the movie 'Kate and Leopold', and although it's a charming movie, the one BAD thing is that it makes me sit there and pine for my own Leopold. (aka - nearly perfect man) At the same time I know that won't happen. But what if it did... blah blah blah. So, I think I shall join you in not waiting for my KISA. Joke about it still, maybe, but not depend on it. <BR/><BR/>~VBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27369476.post-53703491418460776352007-10-06T13:03:00.000-07:002007-10-06T13:03:00.000-07:00Why are you waiting for anyone?

The people who are the best in and out of relationships are people who truly believe they are completely whole, satisfied individuals with or without relationships like that.</I><BR/><BR/>I think we're kind of talking about two different kinds of waiting here. The waiting I'm talking about stems from the idea that we can wait for whatever relationships come to develop naturally without participating in the casual dating scene. (It's a very Josh Harris idea, if you know who that is.)<BR/><BR/>I certainly do believe that we should all be actively participating in making ourselves better people, and that whatever problems you have with yourself won't go away if you enter a relationship, so I think we're mostly, if not entirely in agreement. <BR/><BR/>I'm definitely not advocating sitting around at home (or at college, or anywhere else) and waiting for someone to show up!MaureenEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05375521802342642953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27369476.post-46675650333745124852007-10-06T12:52:00.000-07:002007-10-06T12:52:00.000-07:00You have a very good, realistically three dimensio...You have a very good, realistically three dimensional view on this topic as it relates to you. However, I would like to propose to you one further step in the thought process, if you will: Why are you waiting for anyone? The people who are the best in and out of relationships are people who truly believe they are completely whole, satisfied individuals with or without relationships like that. There are very few men out there who are "waiting for a princess" let alone" waiting for a wife." Part of that has to do with society's emphasis on relationships for women and on personal development and success for men, perhaps, but bottom line--perhaps insead of waiting for anything, we should all be actively participating in making ourselves better people.pilgrimchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13808106043964544413noreply@blogger.com
