Before marriage, it is good to date

Before marriage, it is good to date a few men, i think. It is good to get to know different men, to compare (heck we will go to different stores to check out shoes, or shirts, but not a person whom we might live with for the rest of our lives!) and see what qualities you need in a relationship, to get to know how men are. You cannot judge men by using me as a standard, and not because i am a foreigner. I am not like many men. I used to deny this, but i heard it enough so that i had to accept it. I do not say this with any self-importance, because i know my great weaknesses and failings. I have worked hard to not be like most men, because a lot of men do not treat women with dignity and respect, and do not know themselves much at all. A person needs to know who they are, their weaknesses and strengths, what they want and need in relationship.
