RE: Text Anything Dating Questions. Answers from Kendall

After you get out of a relationship, can you be friends again?

This question depends on the break-up. If it occurred amicably, then I believe you can be friends. However, it may take time. Depending on the depth of the hurt/sadness/anger. Be patient, time apart may be necessary before perusing a friendship.

What are good reasons to date in high school when your probably are not going to get married?
Experience!! I told myself I would never date in high school. I thought it was so silly. Why do it if you know it most likely won't be a "permanent" thing? I ended up finding a "high school sweetheart" whom I dated for a while. Looking back on the relationship, I am very blessed to have learned the lessons I learned and have experienced the broad range of emotions that come with "young love." Each time you enter a relationship with someone you learn something new. And when that relationship ends, the lessons you've learned contribute to the person you are destined to become.

If you dated a girl for half a year and she dumped you for your best friend what do you do?

First, decide what kind of friend this "best friend" is. Having been in a relationship for 6 months, your feelings should definitely be taken into consideration. Tell your best friend how this makes you feel. If you're not ok with it, or if it hurts you in any way, your best friend should re-think his new girlfriend. Oh, did I fail to mention that a girl who would dump you for your best friend is not worth the 6 months you gave her in the first place? :)

What do you do if your friends think that you act differently around a certain girl that you like, but you feel like you dont?

This is a hard one. As Tara stressed last night, maintaining your individuality is extremely important. A lot of couples break up over the issue of losing whom they are; needing space in order to figure themselves out. If the person that you are dating really cares about you, you shouldn't--under any circumstances--need to behave differently around them. If you're friends think you are behaving differently, take their observation into consideration. You would never want to jeopardize a friendship over something that can easily be remedied.

So are you saying its impossible to break up with someone without hurting them?

In the majority of cases, yes. Scary thought, huh? The truth of the matter is, folks, that in a break-up there is generally always a bad guy. Now please don't misinterpret "bad guy" for the "evil guy." By bad guy I mean the one whom generally initiates the break-up and is the one inflicting the hurt. The person initiating the break-up experiences their own kind of hurt--pain in the fact they are hurting someone they care about. My last relationship was with a guy I had been with for almost 4 years. He wanted to get married, and I didn't see him as the one. Can you imagine how painful that conversation was? I felt like the most horrible person on the planet that day, but I remained true to myself. Looking at where I am now, the person I am in a relationship with now, I know I made the right decisions--even if I had to hurt someone I cared about.

What is your favorite thing to do together?

Darren and I LOVE board games...almost as much as we love the Golden Girls. Sometimes it is the simple things that prove to be the most satisfying.

How did u solve a fight?

Yikes! Boo for fighting, but it does happen. Acknowledging the other person's concerns and anger is a big step. Try and be reasonable by trying to see where they are coming from. Even if you feel they are wrong, viewing things from a different perspective can completely remedy a fight.

For the girls, What is one word that describes your boyfriends?

REMARKABLE

What will happen if you don't have boundaries?

I am telling you this now and I hope that it will save you a lot of problems in the future: NO relationship can survive without boundaries. None, zilch, NADA. Without boundaries your relationship is built upon shifting sand--unable to hold the solid foundation necessary for a healthy relationship that you deserve!

Kendall, how come you dated Darren and not me? - MBG

MBG-- you're the coolest kid on the block and any girl would be lucky to have you (in a few more years)....Did I fail to mention that they have to go through me first? :)

How long have you been a Christian?

I accepted Christ as my personal savior when I was 9 years old.

This is for Kendall. What did you see in Darren when you first met him that made you want to date him?

Darren, Darren, Darren. Someone only needs to spend 10 minutes with him to realize what an amazing person he truly is. His character, his kindness, his goofiness, his compassion for friends and family, and his incredible love of the Lord were only a few things that contributed to me falling head over heels.

Has God sent a message or interfered with your relationship? What if God says he/she is not the one for you but you really think he/she is?

As hard as it may be to accept, if God is telling you the person you are with is not the right one, God is right. Sometimes it may be difficult to accept the things He has planned, but nothing He wants for you is wrong. So if this isn't the person He is telling you to be with, trust in Him that He is telling you in order that He may lead you to the right one.
