Just for today, I can pray for the willingness to be willing to go on dates that could potentially lead to a relationship with an S.O. (i.e. Significant Other). Despite the fact that I have few, if any, role models that make relationships look enjoyable outside of their fulfillment of the apparently human codependent need to chain ourselves to another human to placate our fear of dying alone, I am Willing to Date. My friend suggested that I write down everything that I want in an S.O. 1) Not like any of my old boyfriends! 2) Sane 3) Not like any members of my family! and 4) Must be willing to leap out of his chair to help any man, woman or child in lifting a heavy item! When I read this list for her she suggested that I aim for greater clarity, but I told her that I already had made immense progress. Just for today, I am willing to date.
