Dudes, you gotta take the risk of holding your heart out there, getting vulnerable, and saying what you’re thinking.

And that meant three things: He didn’t tell me how the relationship was going to end up, He told me how I could be a man during the process. I’m grateful for the things that I’ve learned, but it’s time to take a break from the whole dating thing. My desire for intimacy, for companionship, and for Eve is still as strong as ever.
Both girls appreciated when I said, “Hey, here’s where I’m at…”Call me old-fashioned, but I think the guy should be the one to initiate this conversation. When I asked the Lord if “none of your business” and I would work out, He told me to honor her.
Even though it didn’t end up working out, the possibility of a relationship was totally worth the risk of rejection. DTRs (defining the relationships) are legit, people. All of these things are true of you and me whether we’re single or married.

In later chapters, she addresses the well-meaning advice handed to singles in Christian circles—such as "just wait on the Lord to bring a mate to you" or "Jesus is all you need"—and deftly explains some of the erroneous thinking and theology surrounding each.
