Now here's a verse to remind all of us:
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and...
We are actually in opposition to God already and that's just scary. But first off, it's just really sad. By this time, we are already walking alone and on the wrong road, no longer within the will of God.
It is very dangerous to start things without seeking God's guidance. Worse is, being out of God's will just because we want to insist our own will. See that pride?
The start of a dangerous journey is when we already walk in our own ways, own strength, and own wisdom. This is where pride creeps inside of us showing no humility by seemingly acting like we no longer need God at all since we are already doing things our way.

Ladies, you deserve a love you didn't beg for in the first place.
You are meant to be pursued. You're the chase. Don't do the pursuing. Leave that job to the one who will man up because of his real love for you.
You deserve the best.
You deserve to be pursued.
Wait patiently.
