I don’t necessarily feel comfortable posting relationship advice on this blog, but you are my oldest friend and even though we have lost contact along the way I would love love to get together and hang out with you, and talk about things like this…i feel your frustration and i understand aspects of what you may be going through. certain things are more difficult for others. like you killed ap biology, i sucked. but maybe i can help you out with somethings you are struggling with. sorry to make the school analogy for dating- like your ice cream and girls reference i am not implying anything by it.
lots of love- seriously lets get together and hang out

I feel like I should reply to this post even though it has been posted for ages. I will make my own analogy–comparing pregancy to finding a girlfriend. A lot of women worry about getting pregnant especially if it doesn’t happen immediately and then they find that when they stop thinking about it–ta dah–it happens. It WILL happen (not pregnancy for you, but a girlfriend) and when it does this person will most likely be a wonderful fit for you. But if this person isn’t THE one you will learn something from that relationship, just like you learned something from your previous relationship. Isn’t that what life is about–learning experiences (sometimes hard) that teach you about yourself and what life means to you?

Your mom is cool! I wish my dad or mom could tell me things as insightful as that. Anyways, you have to put yourself out there and not be afraid of being hurt. You will have to forge your own path to the woman who is right for you. You do learn from experiences, the more the better. I don’t mean be a player, I mean keep trying and learn from it. Every time something doesn’t work out, take the knowledge with you n why it didn’t work. You really have to learn to appreciate the pain you will probably experience. I mean you are looking to find the love of your life eventually, correct? In that case, for you to have love, you will feel the extreme highs, but that means the lows will be lower. I know our family culture is rough on you men, but it’s a respectable strength to be strong enough to not run away from your pain. Love is also a wild card, when you are around come people, you will feel the chemistry. It’s totally unexplainable sometimes. Do your best to weather the storm and you’ll come out on top

wow, you’re mom’s cool. you’re not sexist, you’re adorable, and lame as it sounds, you will figure things out. i’ve heard it said that the person you end up with should feel like ‘home’, sometimes a better version of the home you’ve always wanted, sometimes, you’re the better version for that person. but you should always compliment each other, like peas & carrots, & make each other better people, ultimately for God.

Most men either don’t have it, or try to hide or destroy their emotions. You’ve got a soft heart. Its something special that your future wife will appreciate. Just know, the way of the world isn’t for you. You’ll have a tread carefully bro…

Dear son, Relationships are something you need to discover on your own unfortunately…if we told you what you had to do it would be based on our experiences/interactions with others and not work for you specifically. However through your observations of other people’s relationships you can develope a list of what are good qualities for a partner. Also you can ask questions about what others found important in their choices and then sift through those answers for what might be priorities in a relationship/mate for you. I wish like you an “operating handbook” came taped to each child’s stomach at birth to help parents direct that child in making good decisions. Love you lots, mama
