No Better Dating Adviser: A Guest Post
Last but not least, here's our final guest post....at least for now, anyways. La Mademoiselle decided to tackle things from more of a spiritual angle, which OBVIOUSLY my post-mission mind loved. I think that sometimes we forget that we DON'T have to navigate this whole dating thing by ourselves. We have access to all the help we need....so let's use it!toodles for now,

Picky. Yup, that’s definitely a word my mother has used to describe me and my oh-so-thrilling dating life. I bet many of you can relate—it’s kind of what happens when most of your best friends get married in the space of a year. And I’m only twenty-one! But I am a strong believer in doing what my heart tells me is right—and my heart tells me that I'm not being too picky… I’m making good dating choices for myself (and for the future).
You know how dating is supposed to help you figure out what kind of guy you want?
Well… in some ways my dating experience has made me more unsure about what kind of guy I’ll end up with. I’ve dated too many types to understand myself anymore.
Heavenly Father gives us a lot of freedom in choosing who we want to marry. But he gives us a lot of help too. He can help you to understand others… and he can help you understand yourself. My dating life might not be something that my mother understands -- but Heavenly Father sure does. He knows who I can make happy, and who will make me happy. He’s kind of the expert on everything. So I trust him. And I trust that if I’m out of line, I’ll feel it.
If it’s taking longer than you expected don’t give up on asking for his help. Personally, I know what its like to be afraid to graduate from BYU, spouse-less and then have to go back to a way smaller dating pool. But when I pray about it I’m reminded that I’ve felt at peace with all the dating decisions I’ve made in the past. I know I’ll continue feeling that way if I keep listening.
I'm guessing there isn't any better dating adviser than the Holy Ghost.
Keep being you,
La Mademoiselle
