Free Samples: Are you giving them out?

Is your body a "free sample?"

Have you ever been to the food court at the mall? You see all of these fast food places and restaurants all lined up selling every variety of food that most people would like. When you look closer there are always these people in uniform holding a little piece of chicken on a stick for you to sample. Have you ever watched men in this scenario? Men will eat the chicken on a stick, leave, and still go over to Burger King and buy a whole super size combo and the whole nine.


Now, I’m not saying that you are a piece of chicken. You are obviously more valuable than that. But truth be told, that is what men do with women, too. They will sample your goods, and still keep it moving down to the next woman. So, when you understand how they think, you can make better choices regarding what you will and won’t do in a relationship.

Now you’re probably thinking, at the mall everyone has chicken on a stick, and even though some people eat and run away, some do stay and buy the combo meal. How can I compete with all of that? Here’s how.

In God’s plan you don’t have to give “free samples” to get a man to be interested in marrying you. You don’t have to stand out in the hall with your well-seasoned chicken hanging off of a stick. All you have to do is:

1. Have a good name in the mall food court.
Having a good name is about good Christian character, being polite, telling the truth, working hard, getting along with people, etc. When people at your job, at church, at the gym or wherever see this kind of behavior in you, they will say great things when asked about you. Just like a restaurant with a good review, it’s then that your good reputation will precede you into every situation. In fact good people will be drawn to you.


2. Actually have great food
Trust me when I tell you that he is, in fact, looking for you right now. The question is whom will he find when he gets to you? Will you be ready for marriage? Do you have your heart available for him, or does part of your heart still connected to some other guy?

Are you willing to sacrifice and share everything with this man? Your money, your thoughts? Your credit score? Your past? Yes, the dude from spring break too! :-)


3. Make your menu and your food appealing to the eye.
Making your menu and food easy on the eye is also a key to countering the “free sample” women from crowding all of the men in the food court of your life. While the offers to get a free sample may be tempting, just like hearing about a great restaurant from a friend, a man’s intention when showing up to the food court is to buy a combo from you, and only you. Men ask around about the women that they are interested in, and hearing great reviews about you really helps to help a man to “see” you as something he may want. If he has heard great things about you, and when meeting you for the first time your menu is great, and your presentation is tight, then you can count on a man buying what you have to offer.

“Free samples” lead to insecurity in your true position in a man’s life. The right man will see what you have to offer, hear about your good name from other people, and just want to have you. He will want you even while standing in the middle of the food court full of people offering chicken on a stick standing all around him. He will see you as bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh and choose you over everyone else. Free samples can’t offer you that. Making him wait 90 days before giving him a free sample can’t offer you that either, only God’s way can.
