How To Date Just Fundy Enough® - for Women

[Darrell]

As soon as I get people I'll do that.

Do you think you could lend me some people and then have them call themselves?

[Arch Radish]

Sorry. All I have are munchkins and circus freaks. You may have the World's Shortest Giant, or the Bearded Man.

[Darrell]

I'll split the difference and take the Man with the World's Shortest Beard.

I'd like to take a moment now and apologize for being the reason nobody but you and I are still reading this thread. I tend to have the effect.

[Arch Radish]

Where's an administrator when you need 'em? Ban this man!

[Darrell]

Ban him! Ban him and dangle his entrails from the highest banner ad as a warning to others!!

I'm proud to say I knew you when.

You've blossomed, my friend, into a beautiful flower. A manly flower. But still good smelling.

I fear I've said too much already. I'll have to settle for writing about you in my diary tonight.

Toodles,

DD

I am drinking wine and I nearly spit wine at my computer screen. Not okay!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting that link. I just read all 16 installments. His story is so eerily familiar that at first I thought I'd stumbled on my ex's blog; only the names and a few key details are different. My engagement also didn't work out, but it was the beginning of my escape from a religion of fear and guilt. Reading his account helped me understand what my poor ex endured, and his explanations for his ex-fiance's struggle helped me understand mine. Thanks again for posting.

I am truly glad you found it helpful. Lou's story helped me understand more thoroughly why patriarchal / courtship is sick and twisted. Some people at my SBC church have become enamored with the concept, and I have had some opportunity to debate the subject.
