Yeah, I was joking. Being small is actually very fun sometimes… you can get on smaller rides, smaller places, and you have no problem walking under trees when your whole other company is ughing and swatting branches. It’s good you have the height, cause as much as I complain, I probably wouldn’t use it for much…

I have never met another boy that thinks things out as much as you… That’s great. Soli de Gloria!

Okay, actually I forgot something about the games. I don’t play games with guys that would include bodily contact, like if we play football at church, it’s always two hand touch, or flags, never tackling if it’s a mixed group. So yes, ‘easing up’ on girls is appropriate in a form, we just really like it to not be patronizing or extreme.

Being treated inappropriately is, yes, scary. Unfortunately I’ve never been around a tree when it’s happened. If worse came to worse, I always carry a pocket knife. (Which is why I hate the laws in Chicago about not carrying knives – I’m more likely to get in trouble there than my little home town, and I’m not allowed anything but my fists to defend myself! But that’s a whole ‘nother topic.) It is frightening to a level, but it’s almost makes me angry more. I unfortunately have a strong temper. While God is helping me learn to control it, there are times when I would love nothing more than to drive my fist into those guys faces. Of course, that would not be wise, but still… that is also why I want to take some self-defense classes soon.

I have done some research… one thing I’ve seen that seems to work for most people is apple cider vinegar, but I can’t stand that stuff, even the smell, so I’ve never had the courage to try.

Thank you so much for the advice!

Yeah, one of the reasons I can’t stand most romances that are put out today is because there is so much drama!!! Oh, I hate him oh I love him he doesn’t like me I like him he made me mad we’re not together oh we made up and we’re together oh no he’s not right for me… Just decide, people!!!

I actually do have at least one argument I’ve planned out in the book already, cause I know that, sadly from personal experience, even people you love you still argue with. I actually heard it described once… “I may not like them all the time, but I love them all the time.”

And I want to say that it’s great you and your… boyfriend, if that’s the word you use, if not, excuse me, have what I call ‘clean’ relationship. I think if we had more of those, break-ups, and ultimately divorce wouldn’t happen so much. God-centered relationships are very sadly not becoming important anymore. Which also a reason I have decided to put in the romance, because I get so frustrated at romance in books now, so I want to put out something to counter it.

Friends before fiancé… that’s pretty good! But it is surprising too, how it can sometime work out a little differently. My great-grandparents were married after only having seen each other a couple times before. Like, in their lives. And yet they were married for many happy years and left a Godly legacy. A friend of mine at church is getting married in November. On the wedding day, she’ll have known him for only six months. If God makes it clear, I guess He makes it clear. 😀

First off, congratulations!!! <3 So happy you’ve found a special someone!

I do know that couple, and while I have decided not to make Felicity and Clay be that couple, especially since the story ends before they would even start dating officially, there are times when that couple is just cute. Except when their kissing holds up the queue line for the roller coaster. Seriously. I was in line for a roller coaster and it wasn’t moving because a couple was kissing and not walking. *rolls eyes*

Thank you for the ‘other type’ example! Your experience is really appreciated, especially since I wasn’t expecting much first-hand.
