Here's a fun fact. About three months after I started dating* a young lady in my freshman year of college, she texted me around 10 PM one night and asked me to marry her.

I declined, and we lasted about three more months.

[hider=*]We weren't even technically dating. I am very very careful about dating and romance. I think you should date to find a spouse, not to have sex or get practice or whatnot. As a result, I want to spend a good bit of time getting to know a person first. I've seen what happens to relationships that are exclusively based on how attractive the other person is.

There were quite a few things (things I consider important in a relationship) that we didn't see eye to eye on, which is why I was being careful. I didn't want to commit if we weren't going to agree on serious things, even though she was an absolutely beautiful young lady.

Unfortunately, she was not so patient. For reasons that I will not expound on, she very desperately wanted to be in a committed relationship. We lasted about three more months, at which point she started dating someone else.[/hider]
