As a guy, I have a fond interest in history, science, literature, and women. Being a teenage guy, the latter is most important to me. I do desire true love, that is my greatest wish (laugh if you want), and it is hard to find, or so it seems, in this modern church.
I have learned that there are two kinds of teenage, Christian girls. The first are the Saints. The Saints are usually pretty, modest in their dress, and love God more than anything. Half the time, being around them, you feel spiritually insuperior...as if your novel just was compared against Stephen King's. They are often very nurturing, very smart, very good people.
They never want to date though. For reasons I've never understood, they have been raised that God will somehow provide the perfect man while they are studying in divinity school, or some Christian college. This man, I imagine, will be good looking, love dogs and babies, and never break their hearts. He might be studying to be a pastor or a missionary, maybe a doctor or something else noble. They consider teenage guys as unfaithful, unloving, in it for the sex. Now, I know some of us are rotten, but so are some of them. Does this mean they need to give up dating now? What if their future husband is the one they find right here, right now?
Then you have the second kind of church girl stereotype, which is the Pharisee. These girls say all the right things, do all the right things, but when no one is looking, forgo all the right things. They do often date, but their love for Jesus just seems to be something they put on for display, not something they treasure. It's sad.
Why can't their be serious Christians who want to date? Am I missing something? All this is illogical madness from my perspective.
