If you spend time among Christians, especially those who are single and dating, some of these may be very familiar:

Some time ago I wrote a post about “why guys don’t ask girls out”. In writing that I slipped into the mistake common to a lot of what’s written about relationships. I wrote about generalisations, concepts; in focusing on the abstract I took the easy way out.

It’s the easy way out and it is the mentality of glossy magazines and trendy bloggers – we aggregate examples, form a trend and we look for a solution that can fit in a tweet.

Sometimes I wish I was someone else.

Sometimes I wish I had a little more bravado. Sometimes I wish I laughed at things other people found funny. I wish I was more spontaneous. I wish I was unpredictable. Surprising. I wish I had that edge. Whatever that edge maybe.

First up, a confession: I was once a junior chess champion. I even got a medal for it. So there’s nothing wrong with joining a chess club to find a date.
