Last night, I met up with two girls, Allie and Sarah, I went to high school with to have drinks and dinner in M'Town. We haven't seen each other in at least 4 years and just in passing at a store so it was nice to actually have a real conversation with them.
After gushing about George for a minute we talked about all the "mean girls" from elementary school on and how when we see them now they try and pretend that the words they said didn't' mean anything. But they still do. Even the guys that teased them and are now trying to flirt with Allie and Sarah when they go out to drink in Hoboken, we will never forget those words.
At intervals I was left alone with one of them and they gossiped about the other. I've known Allie longer and she mainly talked to me about the love of her life, Davy. They met years ago and she regrets that she was immature and didn't have it together. The two still talk and he's asked to be single for the summer (she admits to being a drama queen) so she's waiting for summer to be over with.
The other amusing thing we talked about was the church across the street. Since they live in the neighborhood they noticed the Christian bookstore that's related to the church that meets Sundays at the hotel off the Green.
Anyway, I told them that's where George and I met. Sarah proceeds to immediately ask me " So what are your thoughts on pre-marital sex?" It's a good thing I had a drink and a half in me and some dinner so I could gracefully handle that question. She did preface it with "Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?". Anyway I said one of my boyfriend's had pressured me to do it and I almost did but didn't at the last second and he respected my wishes and proceeded to break up with me a few weeks later.
I told them that it's hard to wait(girls our age think it about more than guys think we do) and I know Christians who aren't virgins when they get married. The thing I didn't say and probably should of was that they became believers late in life. But since I was talking to two recovering Catholics it didn't seem like the right place to sermonize on sexual purity. I can just tell though that to some extent, both of these beautiful girls who spend every weekend getting wasted (their words not mine) I can see they wish they had some sort of prince charming in their life. Maybe they've already met him and they just didn't know it, I hope.
