The Other Woman

I once had a chance to be "The Other Woman." I had motive [he was HOT!] and opportunity [he followed me like a lost dog.] His wife noticed and followed him following me - when she was around. I was determined to not do to her what happened to me in my, now over, marriage.
I hope it's called loving your neighbor as yourself. I don't like being hurt so I will not hurt others, in this case the wife of the hot guy.
Why, oh, why does popular culture make light of extra-marital affairs?? They not only hurt the spouse but the children, if there are any, and the extended family.
Thoughts? Opinions??

How I hate tipping!

I hate having to give tips to wait staff, hair dressers, doormen, cabbies etc. I have been fortunate enough to have lived in a country where there was no tipping. I LOVED it! I knew in advance what the price for services were & I paid it. It just so happens that the service was usually much better than similar services provided in the States.
I also visited an Asian country where tipping was introduced by Europeans. It is now used as a form of blackmail against visitors. One is pressured into giving a tip, pestered into giving a tip, even screamed at into giving a tip. I did not enjoy that.
So now you know why I hate tipping.
Today, I did my job with a pre-arranged pay rate. It is a decent pay rate. It is all I expected to receive. I received a tip - a significant tip. I LOVED it!

Please tell me about your worst singles group experience. NO NAMES or gossip, please; just lessons learned the hard way.
May we all be able to say, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Tim. 4 .

Just Friends

Is that so bad - just being friends? I heard once a Christian singles pastor advise that when one meets a member of the opposite sex, say to oneself, 'this is not the one.' And logisticly, most MOTOS will not, cannot be my next spouse.
I knew one gentleman where he, after weeks of communication and a couple outings, still wanted to 'start dating.' I thought we were! Is it not a date till we kiss or hold hands?
Is there anyone else out there that needs a foundational friendship before they can progress to the 'dating' level?

Once I knew a man who laid down his life for me. I really felt like I had first place in his heart. [Yes, that should go to Jesus; another discussion topic...] He was always catering to my preferences. It reminded me of the shortest sermon I ever heard. The title was, "Men, How to Get Your Wife to Treat You Like a King." The entire lesson was, "Treat her like a queen." That's the kind of relationship we had. He had unattractive habits & hobbies that I easily put up with because he treated me so well.
It was not a one way thing. We often followed his preferences for restaurants, movies or activities. He wonderfully tolerated my less appealing traits. We were each eager to make the other happy.
[The relationship ended because of circumstances out of our control - maybe a subsequent blog topic.]
But that is now my template for my next relationship. After all, the scripture does not end at, "Wives, submit to your husbands".
Any thoughts??

I went out on a date some time ago with someone I met on another site. I, a Christian who attends services more than once a week; he, the same. I, a lover of nature and a hiker; he, the same. I, an avid ballroom dancer; he, willing. Altogether, good reasons to be optomistic.
When the evening came, he only had eyes for me.
So why did we go nowhere? He interupted me. I did not get to finish my thoughts.
Am I being too picky??? All comments welcome!
