Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls! I haven’t been to a circus in years, but from what I recall, those are the words the master of ceremonies typically uses to open up the circus right?  At any rate, this post is for everyone; ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. 

1)  Boys, many of you do not have a good father figure, but you can still make the decision to live your best life ever.    
2)   Girls, just because a boy says he loves you, it does not mean he does.  Use your common sense.  Every boy you sleep with when you are a girl, and every man you sleep with when you are a woman, leaves his mark on you emotionally and sometimes physically.

3)  Men, bullying is not the correct way to ‘get a girl’.

4)  Ladies, no matter how good you look on the outside, your beauty will fade.  Fill your brain with an education: college, trade school, etc.  Be positive, be sincere, and self-fulfilling.  Be good to yourself.  That will make you even more beautiful than you already are.

5)  Boys, while you are young, work on your craft. Go to college or trade school.  Learn how to cook and do laundry.  When you know how to do these things, you can take your time in finding the right woman.  In fact, God will direct you to the right woman.  In the mean time, know how to cook and do laundry!  

6) Girls, saying you can’t cook and that you and your husband can eat out every day, is not cute.  In fact, I guarantee you after a few years of marriage it will get old! Learn how to cook and do laundry.  If for nothing else, when you know how to cook, you can control the amount of fat and calories in your food.

7) Men, if you are interested in a woman, talk to her.  Hiding behind other people may be cute when you’re a boy, but as a man, it’s just not cute.  If she says yes, great! If she says no, move on gracefully.  Acting like a jerk because a woman says no, tells us a lot about you, including that you may not be stable!     

8) Ladies, if you chase after a man, which you should not be doing, and he says no; be graceful about it.  If you are not, he will know for sure that he made the right decision.  He will think you are not stable!  Stop stalking the man!    

9)  Girls, I know they make and sell daisy dukes in the store, but in my observation, no one looks good in them.  What type of man do you think you will attract when you wear those things out of the house.  It’s not cute girls.  Daisy Dukes are not long-term relationship attracting clothes.  Stop it!  That goes for you too ladies!  Seriously!  

10)  Men, if you don’t know how to ask a lady out, do some research on how!  Hey, do some research on how to deal with acceptance and rejection.  No one likes rejection, but it happens to us all.  Have some class guys and dolls! 

11) Women, dress as well as you can afford to, get out of the house, join a club, and meet people.  All of those things are great.  But acting needy and pushy, not cute.

Finally, as human beings, we will find ourselves attracted to the opposite sex.  That’s how God made us.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.  It’s NORMAL!  How we interact with each other seems to be the problem.  Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, do your homework.  Don’t leave life to chance.  There is so much information available that even if you do not have a positive role model in your life, you can still find the information you need to keep it simple.  

Those who are Christians, search for a good church.  You will have to do some visiting.  Not every church is the same.  There is nothing wrong with visiting until you find the one God has for you.  He will direct your steps.  Just as he will direct you to the man or woman he has for you!

   

When you find a good church, see what groups and departments are available that match your God-given gifts, and get involved.  When you put God first, he will take care of the rest.  There may be the occasional, um, person who has not done their research, but do not allow yourself to be bullied or chased.  Ladies, do not wear Daisy Dukes to church! 

Seriously, folks, let God direct you in every aspect of your life.  He does not make mistakes, even when you feel like his timing is way off, he’s got you in the palm of his hands.
