People usually come into college single and looking to have fun. Throughout the semesters, there are tons of parties and multiple opportunities to go out to the bars. You think finding that perfect outfit will land you a conversation with the guy you have had your eye on. News flash, if you are looking for a boyfriend or a guy you want to have some type of relationship with, you probably should not start by being intoxicated in the middle of the bar.

The end of freshman year and the beginning of sophomore year, I was stuck. There was this emptiness which I thought I needed a guy to fill (biggest mistake). I would go to frat parties and out, but I could never find a relationship that really stuck. Confused was an understatement and I thought I was going to be alone forever. One night, I decided to stop "looking" because I knew God had already picked who I was going to be with forever. That very next day, what do you know, I found the one.

Once you let go and stop looking for a boy, God will place the right one in your life. I did not meet this boy at a party or out at a bar, I met him my freshman year and he just happened to be my next door neighbor. He just happened to send me a message out of the blue one day, and that was just the beginning. Not only should you find a boy who loves you, you should find a boy who loves our Lord more. Find a boy who has the values of a God-fearing man. That is who was brought to me.

A Christ based foundation is one of the most important aspects that every relationship needs to have. Once you have that, you are ready to go. We pray for each other, but most importantly, we pray for our relationship every day. That is what makes our relationship so strong and trustworthy. God needs to be the center of every relationship in order for relationships to work. Go to church together, go to bible study together. I promise this will change your relationship for the better.

Having a boyfriend who is so God-fearing has set our relationship apart from many others. We don't go out to a party every night, we focus on the little things and have dates that really mean something. Getting older, you begin to realize that there are way more important things than spending a Friday night at the bars. Going on dates are important, spending quality time together is important, and finding God together is the most important aspect in any relationship.
