Perspective

Here's the thing, when it comes to dating and our search for “the one,” it can be hard to have clear perspective, or a healthy outlook on life.

At some point, most of us have probably been in that position. We've had a crush on someone who didn’t return the feeling, and then we felt rejected, disappointed, or sad.

The idea of being more than friends brings a lot of emotions and feelings with it—and feelings, are a powerful thing that can mess with our perspective and be overwhelming. In fact, King Solomon, one of the most famous kings of Israel, wrote something that speaks just to that in the book of Proverbs. He says:

“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones” – Proverbs 17:22 NIV.

We think what Solomon is saying is this:
— How you feel on the inside never just stays on the inside.

Some of you have noticed that your dating life or lack of a dating life is affecting the way you feel about everything. And you wish you had a cheerful heart, like Solomon says…but how?
