There was a girl. She had been approached by a boy and they really liked each other. Soon they started dating. Things were going along well but the girl began to notice certain things that she didn’t exactly like or agree with going on but she ignored them. She told herself that they would either go away or get better if she just waited patiently. The boy also noticed little things that the girl would say and do that made him wonder if she was still into him but he, too, just kept on going along as if they would correct themselves. They didn’t. Soon boy and girl were arguing about little things and decided that they didn’t love each other anymore and broke up with hurt feelings deciding never to love again. END OF STORY.

NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT! Love is a many, splendored thing and everyone deserves the experience of good, sound, real love. Once girl saw the signs that boy was signaling to her she had an opportunity to ask what they meant and do whatever it took to address the issues. Boy picked up on what girl did but never acted on the information. Both of them SAW the SIGNS but ignored what they pointed to…distance, distraction and doubt. Had they been LiSENSED 2 DATE they would have understood the importance of responding to the signs immediately and making the appropriate adjustments to TURN things around and keep them on TRACK.
