Single and Waiting

Are you waiting for your Boaz? If you don't know who Boaz is, he is a character from the Book of Ruth in the Bible. Boaz was a wealthy landowner. He noticed a foreigner named Ruth, took interest in her and immediately began to protect her. He found favor in her because of her kindness and Godly qualities. He instructed his male servants not to lay a hand on her and treated her like a queen. He knew that she was the woman for him when he first saw her. Today, many Christian women compare his qualities to those of the man they want in a husband; a man who will take care, protect, and treat them like queens. Whether you haven't met him yet or you think you have but you are still technically single, you may often find yourself wondering either "where is he?!" or "when is he going to ask me to ...

How Long Should I Wait Before Meeting My Online Date For The First Time?

There is no sense in communicating with someone endlessly, talking on the phone for hours and days, if you can just as easily do so in person to find out if you like each other. Therefore, you should try to meet up with someone you're interested in as soon as possible. In other words, within 2 weeks of striking up conversation. This prevents several things. Don't Waste Your Time First, it prevents you from wasting your time on someone with whom you have no chemistry. Let's say you spend several days and even weeks texting, or otherwise communicating with each other, not in person. Let's say you finally meet, and - woops! - there's no chemistry there for you.

Sex, Money And Love: Romance And Dating In A Material Age

Sex, money and love: what South African university students say about romance and dating in a material age. Transactional sex – the exchange of consensual sex for material support like gifts, money or food – occurs on university campuses in many parts of the world. South Africa is no exception. Some scholars have highlighted the importance of understanding transactional sexual relationships beyond seeing it only (or mostly) as a way for young women to mitigate poverty, or because they want to enjoy the advantages of what is perceived as an elite and glamorous lifestyle. It’s more complicated than that. We came together as a trio of psychology scholars to explore how young South African female university students construct themselves as sexual beings, and negotiate dating and intimate relat...

Dating A Virgo

Dating A Virgo In dating, a Virgo will probably need his or her date to do most of the work of initiating. Someone who's a bit more naturally flirtatious and aggressive, yet honest and open will help get things started. Virgos can be a little clueless or awkward in the initial stages of the dating process. Sex is a very intimate thing for Virgos, and they will take the time to vet their potential partners rather than settle for a casual hookup. They have to trust and respect you on some level before entering into a sexual relationship. Virgos want to learn as much as they can about potential lovers and are genuinely interested in what you have to say. They also have an understated, sometimes dry sense of humor, to help put you at ease. Virgos are often very clever and love having deep disc...
