IN SEEKING CUPID…
DON’T BE STUPID
Before you rush into another relationship…
Pause.
Before you give away your heart…
Understand it.
The better you know yourself,
the better you will recognize the right person when they arrive.
DATING TIME OUT
IN SEEKING CUPID…
DON’T BE STUPID
The dating industry exists because one of the greatest needs of mankind remains unchanged.
We want to be loved.
We want companionship.
We want to share our lives with someone special.
We want to know and be known.
There is nothing wrong with any of that.
In fact, it is one of the most beautiful desires placed within the human heart.
But before pursuing another relationship, perhaps it is wise to call a timeout.
Not a timeout from love.
A timeout for wisdom.
THE HEART HAS NEEDS TOO
Many people enter relationships looking for someone to complete them.
Others seek rescue from loneliness.
Some are trying to heal old wounds.
Some are trying to forget.
Some are simply tired of being alone.
The problem is not the desire.
The problem is entering the journey without understanding yourself first.
A confused heart often creates confusing relationships.
A wounded heart often attracts wounded circumstances.
PEARLS FOR GIRLS KNOWS SOMETHING
In Pearls for Girls: Dating, Waiting & Sex… In Seeking Cupid… Don’t Be Stupid, over 100 chapters are devoted to helping women understand relationships, companionship, intimacy, boundaries, marriage, dating, divorce, second chances, and the desires of the heart.
The focus is not merely finding someone.
The focus is your well-being.
The focus is helping you realize the desires of your heart without unnecessarily breaking it while doing so.
That alone makes the journey worthwhile.
FINDING SOMEONE IS EASY
Finding someone to date is not difficult.
Finding someone to love correctly…
And who will love you correctly in return…
Requires something more.
Patience.
Discernment.
Observation.
Communication.
Character.
Compatibility.
Purpose.
Love is not merely attraction.
Attraction may open the door.
Character determines whether you should walk through it.
TO BE INTIMATE…
YOU MUST KNOW AND BE KNOWN
Perhaps one of the most important truths in the entire dating world is this:
Intimacy is not merely physical.
Intimacy is being known.
It is allowing another person access to who you really are.
Your hopes.
Your fears.
Your dreams.
Your values.
Your imperfections.
Your victories.
Your scars.
Real intimacy requires honesty.
Real intimacy requires trust.
Real intimacy requires time.
Anything less is usually imitation.
YOUR HEART IS A HOUSE OF LOVE
Not regret.
Not confusion.
Not manipulation.
Not loneliness disguised as companionship.
Not temporary attention mistaken for affection.
Your heart was designed for love.
Healthy love.
Life-giving love.
Mutually beneficial love.
The kind that helps both people become better versions of themselves.
THE PEARLS CONNECTION
This post connects directly to the Pearls Pillars of:
LOVE
INTIMACY
PURPOSE
Because relationships affect all three.
As taught throughout the Pearls Series:
The better you know yourself…
The better you understand love.
The better you understand love…
The deeper intimacy becomes.
The deeper intimacy becomes…
The more purposeful your relationships become.
This is why Pearls for Girls continues to resonate with readers of all ages.
It is not merely a dating book.
It is a guide to understanding the human heart.
