You ever meet somebody and think, Wow, where have you been all my life? They smell good, say the right things, make you laugh, and for a second you start planning the wedding before you even finish your appetizer. Fast-forward three months later and that same person is giving you stress bumps, eating the last piece of chicken they didn’t buy, and somehow turned into a whole stranger you don’t even recognize.
Welcome to dating in the 21st century, where people can look like God’s gift to the world on Monday and by Friday you’re praying for strength just to delete their number.
See, the thing about today’s dating scene is this: it’s risky out here. Real risky.
People can portray themselves to be one way when you first meet them, but once the mask slides off…oh, baby, you might wish you kept your number to yourself. That’s why being careful about who you lay with is not just a cute saying your grandma threw around; it’s survival.
Here’s the part we don’t like to talk about: soul ties. When you share yourself with someone physically, you’re not just swapping body heat, you’re exchanging energy.
And let me tell you, everybody’s energy ain’t worth having. Some people carry baggage, brokenness, or just plain chaos, and once you connect, you’re left carrying weight that wasn’t yours to begin with.
Ever notice how after being with the wrong person, you start feeling drained, confused, or even a little off? That’s because you picked up something that wasn’t meant for you!
Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not here to scare you celibate. (Unless that’s your ministry—then go forth and prosper.) What I am saying is that intimacy is more than just a fun Friday night. It’s an exchange, and if you’re not careful, you’ll end up paying the price for someone else’s unresolved demons.
Think of it like letting someone borrow your favorite outfit. If they return it wrinkled, stained, and smelling funny, guess what? You’re the one left scrubbing it clean.
That’s exactly what happens when you give your energy to people who haven’t even washed their own lives yet.
So here’s the takeaway: slow down. Ask the hard questions. Pay attention to the little red flags that we often wave off like they’re just pink. Protect your peace, protect your energy, and most importantly, protect your body. Because the wrong soul tie can have you out here acting brand new in all the wrong ways.
Dating is already scary enough. You don’t need extra nightmares from letting the wrong person too close.
Laugh, have fun, enjoy getting to know people, but when it comes to laying down with somebody, make sure they deserve the privilege of being in your space.
