boys... why bother?

I'm not sure why, but it seems like in the past couple of days there have been lots of boy-related events in my life. More than usual, at least.

Yesterday, I discovered the Xanga site for Nathan, a guy I dated briefly when I was in college. (Link here to see his site.) That was a totally surreal experience! Things I learned from this experience: To the best of my memory, Nathan has not changed his hairstyle a bit in the five years since we dated. He has, however, managed to grow a bit of scruff on his chin! Cute kid. Thank heaven that God knows what I need better than I do, because I can tell you I would be incredibly unhappy with a guy like him. Not my type!

So anyway... Today I decided to go out on my bike. I went across the highway so that I could pick up a couple of things at the grocery store and, while I was over there, I stopped at McDonald's for lunch. I locked my bike, waited in line, and ordered my usual chicken nuggets. And the guy who took my order started flirting with me! I stood there waiting for my order while he made a pass at me. Very weird, considering that he couldn't have been older than 16 or 17! Then I had to go back up to the counter to tell them they were out of ketchup, and again - the flirting. (For what it's worth, he didn't even get my order right. But at that point I didn't want to face the flirting any more!)

Boys boys boys... you see, guys like him are why I am single. Now given, he is much younger than I... but sadly, many guys just do not grow up! They either stay in this immature/girl-hunting phase for a very long time, or they become so boring that they are no fun to be with. There's a balance between intelligence and fun-seeking. Not to mention, I will only date Christians. It's a shame that so many Christians are so doggone boring. God never meant for Christianity to be boring - it's the most thrilling ride I've ever been on.
