The words between two people are like knots in a string. As time passes and words are exchanged, the knots come undone and one gets to see how long the string really is or what the other person is really like.
Take the time to get to know this young man and others you may meet. One conversation at a time... listen carefully as the words that they speak. Their words help to tell you about what their true values are.
Then if you pray and ask for God's guidance you will be able to evaluate the person you are speaking to and as time passes you will learn if you have met someone who you would like to continue to get to know.
Always remember to let people know that you are a person with feelings, values, dreams and goals. See if that person is interested in your future or just sharing a brief moment in the present.
In Matthew chapter 7 Jesus says, "Do not cast your pearls among the pigs."
You have much to offer... but be sure that you share who you are with those who have the potential to appreciate you and who you are.
