There's been some talk lately on relationships, in particular about what is your criteria/non-negotiables for the person you are interested in. Ask that question to any other person and they would give some sort of a list (long or short) and it would be a rather varied bunch of answers with some overlap. Ask this question to any Christian however, you will get a rather set list of criteria. A person who loves God, loves other people and loves me. That's more or less the answer you are going to get. While I'm glad that an answer like this comes out, I'm actually not sure whether this is a list that they would actually keep at the back of their pocket to pull out in instances like this or truly seek these qualities in a person. Upon further prying (much prying I might add), will they only release any practical hints/criteria of a person. Some might not release it at all and just simply try and dodge it. Is it really that difficult to voice out a criteria? I mean everyone has their own preferences and there is no way that one does not have some form of negotiable criteria (as Christians, the non-negotiables are mentioned above, everything else can be changed. Somewhat). I wonder the responses I get are the person's way of saying "Mind your own business, this is between me, myself and God". Either that or I'm just very curious. Almost kay-poh. Whatever the reason, it is rather frustrating to not know how a Christian friend ticks especially in the area of relationships.
What about mine you may ask? Besides the above, I seem to have a liking for very intellectual, rational, collected, sharp, humourous (relative to me) people. Looks? For some reason, they are just right. They know how to dress nicely without breaking much of a sweat (or wallet). Which most of the time, they are the opposite of me. Especially dress sense because I am self-proclaiming myself as a middle-class hobo =P Of all the people that I've liked (secretly or was publicly known) I have deduced two things about my chances. One, is that they are waaaaay out of my league and two, I know there's another person nearby who would better match them. So far, I'm right. But do I care about it? I think as the years are passing by ever so quickly, I'm beginning to not care. Which is probably a good thing. But that doesn't mean that I will never suffer secret crushes like everyone else does because everybody wants to settle with someone, including myself. Even more so that the little number of friends I have are getting married. For now, .cpp and .h files are my loves *twitch*.
And to detract you all from thinking too much about relationships, the news:
So interesting how important it is to help the war veterans to not try and kill themselves.
Generally true. I suck at planning to go to places.
My dysfunctional group of friends are good for me.
Music has a much bigger effect on the brain than we thought. But we're not talking about stuff like the Mozart effect. Apparently that's rubbish.
Anchors are good. This anchor on the other hand just screws with your brain.
Some people way too much time with math. And I bet these people are lonely too.
