The Right Reasons

By Ryan, May 23, 2007

What do you want people to notice about you? It’s a question I’ve been pondering for a long time, and the answer to it serves as my new reason for not wanting a girlfriend... at least right now.

Any girl who likes me romantically is obviously not attracted to wealth. That’s a good thing for me. When I have a job, I will inevitably have money. And, depending on my money management skills and my income, I could become very wealthy one day. If that happens before I get married, I hope that I have enough self-control to hide my wealth. I don’t want money to be what people notice about me. Because then I will attract money-ridden women. And that’s not what I want. What do I want girls to notice about me?

Any girl who likes me romantically is obviously not shallow. You may see this as me being hard on myself. It’s not. It’s me being glad that I don’t have to worry about girls liking me for impure reasons. I don’t want my looks to be what people notice about me. But what do I want girls to notice about me?

When a girl finally does like me in a romantic way, I want it to be because she sees God in me. I want to date a girl who sets God as the top priority when looking for a boyfriend. Because if that’s her priority, that means she herself is likely a devout Christian. And that’s what I want... a good Christian girlfriend. So what I want girls to notice about me is that I am an outstanding Christian.

There’s one problem with that. I’m not one of those. I still struggle with the purity of my thoughts. I still tell jokes my parents would not be proud of. Any girl who likes me right now is either unimpressed by spirituality or is deceived by the way I act at church. Either way, it will be a while before I will let myself have a girlfriend.
