Preparing for Marriage
2008.10.01 | Just a bunch of silliness, really |
In the four years I’ve been home from my mission I’ve dated four girls seriously. I think blogging about failed past relationships is against some ethics code (or at least should be) so I won’t go into terrible detail. Suffice it to say in dating these girls I discovered I have an uncanny knack for preparing these girls to get married… to other men. My first three girlfriends each married the guy they dated immediately following their time with me and the most recent one is still dating that next guy in a relationship that may well be headed towards marriage.
I’m not quite sure what to think about this. Is dating me such a horrible experience that when faced with the prospect, these girls would choose marriage to the next Mr. Nobody to show his face over remaining single in a world of unattached Rob Martins? Or is it rather such a delightful adventure that they feel themselves finally prepared to take the plunge?
I’m not sure of the reason behind it but in a world where so many people are looking to tie the knot there must be some way I can spin this to my advantage…
My dad thinks I should advertise.

I just want everyone to know that I invented the color yellow. I would state that on my own blog, but apparently this site gets more traffic.

Son,
You shouldn’t just advertise, you must charge for this exclusive service. I’m sure there are a lot of well-heeled parents of young ladies who would pay for such a service. Another side business could be formed to line up the candidate with her next date who will then marry her. Think of the possibilities.

So would an experiment on this theory of yours require casual or serious dating?
