OK... This didn't used to bother me, but now it's starting to get really f*ing old. I finally got my mother to stop using that line (actually, she only used it once, when I countered that I could ask if she might really be lesbian and just hadn't found the right woman she stopped using it).
But what brought this to a head was on wednesday I went out to see Harry Potter with some friends. Now, I know these friends don't really approve of homosexuality, but we're still friends (because they are that rare bread that can disapprove of what someone does in the bedroom but still think they are a good person). I know that they have that mindset that if I just meet the right girl, I will realize that there is a "better way" and that I don't have to live the life of sin, blah blah blah. Now, up until recently I had no problem with it because the extent of their efforts was to invite me to social events where there would be a lot of girls present that they could introduce me to. I have no problem with this, I can always use more friends, even if there is no romantic interest, and hey, if them introducing me to girls soothes their moral requirement to say they have done all they can to try to save me, so be it... as long as they aren't forcing me to accept the 'saving'
This week was a bit different though, went out to the movies, I of course was not surprised to find that there was 2 girls that I had not met before that my friends were just so anxious for me to meet. Ok, no big deal, we've been here, done that, shake their hands, they may be friends later, on with the night. The next day though I get a text message, "hey, did you talk to that girl from last night again, she seemed to like you, you don't know, she might be the one."
Gah... no, she is NOT the one, no girl ever has been nor ever will be the one. This is who I am, this is what God made me to be, that isn't going to be changed... if prayers to God, repentance, and even a second baptism didn't do it, what makes you think that a pretty girl is going to do it. It's so maddening sometimes this attitude that I need to find the girl who is going to save me (though I notice it is always a friend they try to introduce me to, never a sister... hmm, do they have so little confidence that they won't have their sister be the one...).
