It made me despair for the relationship attitudes in our mainstream culture. I guess what I want to say is: I understand and identify with your thoughts.

I might come back and respond in more detail later because it interests me. For now: What I actually liked about The Last Kiss was the father's line when Zach Braff came crawling home. Something <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0434139/quotes" rel="nofollow">along these lines</a>.<blockquote>What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you love. That's what matters. That's the only thing that counts.</blockquote> Sometimes I wonder if our culture has over-emphasized feelings as a basis for everything we do. I went to a Mennonite school and, well, there are good reasons to avoid rushing into marriage. And, I've learned, the end of a long-term relationship is not the end of your potential to love and be loved ever again - which can be a fun discovery to make when you get there. Becca, Great post.

And feel free to assure your mother that going to a Mennonite school is no guarantee of finding someone to marry. There are plenty of people who could assure her of that. :) Becca, the answer to your last question is in a nutshell, yes.
