I have decided that looking for a husband is a lot like look for Waldo in those "Where's Waldo" books. You look and look for this certain man, scanning every nook and corner trying to uncover where he is hiding. This is exactly how it feels dating and trying to find the right man to marry. You look and look.. scanning every car, class room, church activity, friend of a friend, online etc. always searching for your Waldo. Now with Waldo from the books you have to make sure you find the "right" one because there are always several people that look like him but they are usually missing an item that makes Waldo..well Waldo. The right Waldo has a walking stick, sleeping bag, mallet, drinking cup, binoculars, kettle, backpack, camera, snorkel, belt, another bag and shovel. Ha ha apparently if Waldo is lost anywhere he can survive! This is like looking for your perfect man and how you always seem to find the wrong one before you spot the right one. But even if it takes hours and someone has to help you; you can always find the right Waldo! The same is with dating it might take you years and you have to lean on the Lord but you will eventually find your Waldo!

Where's Waldo?

This is so perfect! I absolutely LOVE your analogy! I feel the exact same way... Especially about the Waldo who looks like he's the one, but there is something just a bit off. Darling post :)
Oh how I love analogies! That's such a cute way of describing it! Searching for the right Waldo is definitely worth the time. When are we going to co-write that book? Because I'm pretty sure this should go in there. :) Love ya Liss!
I think you'll find your Waldo...just after you graduate.
