The Dating Game

My project for today was going through all my containers and tossing out what I didn't need. The containers are not huge, and for the most part, had very little in them. Why then did I have all these containers? To take up space. Literally.

Anyway, I started going through all my college papers--reading a paper here and there, trying to make heads or tails of class notes from my freshman year-- and wondered if these papers were worth keeping. I stopped when I came across the title:

How A Girl Should Look At A Guy

{dated, September 15, 2006}

Is he spiritual

Does he pray

Does he love God

Does he have wisdom

Does he want God's will more than anything else

Does he have character

Is his room/house clean

Does he do what he is told, as well as above and beyond

Is he manly? Don't get a guy who will follow fads.

Is he loyal

Does he always listen to authority

Is he a good money manager

Does he treat his parents well

Does he have leadership qualities

Is he stable

Does he have convictions

Is he physically clean

Is he goal oriented

Is he unselfish

Is he active in his church

Is he considerate and kind in how he treats others

Does he have sound judgment on decisions

Does he control his temper

What type of friends does he have

Is he a hard worker

Does he have a healthy body

Does he tithe

Does he have discernment

Is he real/transparent

What a list!! The tables could be turned and this could also be titled "How A Guy Should Look At Girls". This list was given as a guideline to all of us mostly immature college students, but it definitely got me thinking when I read it this afternoon.

This one is a keeper, put aside for further thought {and blogging posts} sometime in the near future.

By the way, I was able to whittle down my my college things into one legal sized envelope {I started with three} and I only have two containers that have stuff in them! I am liking this purging and organizing.
