people have one. So I say they should find a close guy friend and just hang out and have fun. Who cares about labels. Even find a group of other girls who aren't in a relationship and just have fun. It's just sad that so many kids my age are so obsessed with being in a relationship. Just have fun.

Who is your favorite Disney Princess and why?
"Princess Jasmine from Aladdin because she's so self-confident and free spirited. She doesn't need a guy to make her feel important, she's not like arrogant, but just confident who she is and doesn't settle for anything less than what she expects. She's independent, a risk-taker and isn't worried about fitting in."

For every girl, anywhere in the world, boys are a HUGE part of our lives. We see them on the daily, we talk to them on the daily, and occasionally (more like FREQUENTLY)...we tend to fall for guys.
But girls, not every guy you fall for is the best guy for you. I know, I know, not what we want to hear...
But hang with me for a sec. So, let’s say there’s this really attractive new guy at your school. He’s super cute, and totally dream worthy, but he doesn’t go to church, gets bad grades, disrespects his parents, etc. Every girl swoons over him and wants him super duper bad. Soon, you find yourself doing the same because he’s just THAT perfect for you. Then ya’ll start talking and getting closer to each other. Then he wants to take you on a date!
Sis, let’s stop right there! We, being Princesses and Daughters of Christ, have to set some boundaries for ourselves when it comes to guys. We can’t fling ourselves at random, un-Godly guys hoping and wishing that they will change. Here are a few things to consider before ever getting into a relationship.
1) The right guy will PURSUE you. Proverbs 18:22 says, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing. And obtains favor from the Lord.” The right guy will come to you and win you over.
Don’t fling yourself at him. Don't chase him. Don't be desperate to get a guy.
The right guy will treat you like the Princess and Royal Daughter you are, AND he will respect you. The BEST thing that a guy can do for you is push you closer to Christ. He will inspire you to know Jesus, and draw you closer to Christ than he does to himself. He will protect your purity. He will keep you safe, and not let anyone disrespect you, no matter who they are.
The right guy will wait for you and do anything to be with you and win your heart!
I encourage all of you girls, especially if in a relationship to...
2) Set Boundries. Especially as a couple, that ya'll will not cross. If you’re not in a relationship, take note of certain boundaries you will want to have with your future boyfriend. Remember, the whole point of having a relationship is to explore the possibility of marriage.
Notice that Proverbs 18:22 says, "He who finds a WIFE..." Not a girlfriend!
Make sure you're entering a relationship for the right reasons: the potential of marriage. Not just seeking someone to "have" as your own, or fill a void in your heart.
Doing relationships God’s way isn’t always the easiest, but it’s definitely the best way!
Let God write your love story.
Boys, Boys, (And More) Boys!
