I thought the point of having a boyfriend was to be with that person and not date around. Correct me if I'm wrong.<br />I think cheese's boyfriend sounds more like "the guy you have a crush on and he likes you but your not together."<br />So pretty much friends with benefits LDS style. So maybe it would be a good idea for cheese to talk up front with her bf and tell him that she is dating around and that they aren't bf and gf because that's "supposed" to be exclusive, but that they can still go out on dates. <br />*hopefully this is making sense* and with that thought, I think I am done for nowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729080532188674868.post-37310124930413993462013-05-01T21:17:40.422-06:002013-05-01T21:17:40.422-06:00Boyfriend sounds like more of a "friend with ...Boyfriend sounds like more of a "friend with benefits" and that's no good for Cheese's self-respect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729080532188674868.post-4710201805597007792013-05-01T17:22:21.042-06:002013-05-01T17:22:21.042-06:00Oh goodness, drama drama drama!

Over the next year, make it a goal to try and imagine things from somebody else's perspective. Like your father's, your mother's, your boyfriend's (assuming she's still with him), a teacher's, your dates', Heavenly Father's.<br />I suggest this because she keeps mentioning that she only gets 'extremes'. It may appear to her to be that way, but I *highly* doubt that it is really all that extreme. Tell me if I'm wrong, but I doubt that her father "freaks out" at the mere mention of his daughter's feelings. <br />See definition here: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/freak+out<br /><br /><br />Possibly very concerned over his teenage daughter's emotions and relationships? Yes. But please tell me if I'm wrong!! From what I can tell (based on the many, many letters of hers I have read that are posted on this site), he does have a bit of a drama queen on his hands. I would be a fairly concerned parent, too! <br /><br />Look. I know the extremes and drama are attractive. I was a teenage girl not all that long ago! I remember. It makes life exciting. (well, I actually found it to be more exhausting than exciting.)<br /><br />Find some peace. Pray always. Remember that the Lord is on your side, He is there to lift you up and support you. Though your troubles seem big, the Lord has gone through it ALL. Be still. <br /><br />The gospel teaches us to stay away from extremes in things such as our food consumption, bodily piercings, hair styles, music that we listen to, activities we are involved in. We are counseled to be wise in our choices and actions. We are representatives of Christ, and as such we must strive to live as He lived.<br />I promise that as you work to calm things down, your heart and mind will be more receptive to the promptings of the Holy Ghost. One of the names we give Christ is the Prince of Peace. I know we live in a corrupt world and peace is impossible to obtain permanently on the outside, but we can still have peace in our hearts and minds.<br />So turn to our Heavenly Father in prayer. Let your heart spill out to Him. He knows what you want, and he also knows what you need. Seek for what your Father knows you need. Search the scriptures. Give some focus to the big picture. As you do that and STUDY these things, you will be able to make more choices now that will help you get to where you want to be 5, 10, 20, 50 years down the road. Life is gonna start going way too fast way too soon.<br /><br />So calm down, be still, and know that God is there. :)Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729080532188674868.post-25633485890800727582013-05-01T07:42:32.079-06:002013-05-01T07:42:32.079-06:00Sounds like a confused girl that just got out of h...Sounds like a confused girl that just got out of high school...drives boys nuts. She should meet and date guys across the street from BYU at Provo High School since they're around the same dating maturity level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
