Girls and Guys

Well...I'm trying to think of a way to express my thoughts without coming off too critical or judgemental or even too mean. I'm not even sure if anyone reads this, but hopefully someone will understand what I'm trying to say. Lately....well, I guess for the past year I've noticed the behavior of certain girls in the church. I like to call it, the "body massage." There are many single young girls in the church. Most of the ones I'm talking about are in their twenties and what I've noticed is the way they say "hi" to the guys at church. It's almost a full body massage. They get very physical. Sometimes they even sit on their laps. They hug for a large amount of time. As they talk to them, their arm is wrapped around their waist. They don't even do this with just the single guys. They act this way with guys who have girlfriends too. It's kind of disturbing. What's worse is that the guys actually allow this. Yes! Even the ones with girlfriends. I don't know about everyone else, but I sure wouldn't want a girl to come up to my husband and put her hands all over him. I know we need to have love for each other and a lot of us have been raised to say hello with a hug and a kiss. I just think these people are taking it a step too far and it doesn't seem right. Some of these girls at times serve as leaders to some youth activities and what kind of example are they setting for the younger girls? It's like I was taught as a youth .....one little thing can lead to much worse and I really want to urge the girls who read this to watch the way you treat men or guys or boys. Whatever age you are. Have some self-respect. It is so precious to wait for that special someone that God has saved for you. Please be aware of what you're doing. Remember that your bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit. It's in the way you dress, it's in the way you speak, it's in your actions with the opposite sex. Again, I don't want to come off too judgemental, I just need to vent.
