Book Cover & Preview Text
I was a 15 1/2 year old high school student, who went after what I wanted. You could say I was a out going busy body. Having a boyfriend was very important to me. Dad and mom always encouraged us to wait and allow the guy to find us, and never go looking for the guy.
Well that advice must have been for my other sisters surely not for me. I had convinced myself that I knew a lot about a lot, so I thought.
Well my date was 21 and I was just a little younger then he was, not much 15 1/2. To me he appealed to be nice, handsome and a leader of the Scouts in a uniform and all that. I thought he was a positive image and that works for me.
Now what about what mom and dad say about meeting a guy, and not looking for him. I didn't look for him, he was in my view and I told someone that I liked him, and he was cute. by the time the statement got out of my mouth his cousin had told my secret, he did'nt find me, I found him.
I always wanted to go to the movies, so when he asked the question I said yes. What a nice guy, taking me to the movie and maybe some popcorn, wait until I tell my friends.
Selling yourself short is not healthy for your self-esteem, you can buy your own popcorn and a movie, you talking about ruining your life, it's about your worth, your life value and the royalty of your life in God's eyes.
We were on our way to the movies, I was dressed in my best and we made a detour and stop I was not aware of, not in the plan. He said he had to pick up his cousin; and that he was waiting in the motel room with his girlfriend.
Warning sign, stopping without consulting me first is a no no; a friend must always communicate his or her actions with you about the itinerary for the day, especially a new date
I had a deep bad feeling inside, like an upset stomach with butterfies in it.....
