Just a Yellow Light...?

There are things in this world called a stop lights. These stop lights are here to keep us safe and organized on the roads. Through the years, we have transferred the names of these lights to terms. One in any given situation could use, green light, yellow light, or red light.


If someone has the okay to do something, they are said to have a green light. Often someone will come by a situation that will require that caution should be used, this is what we call a yellow light. If someone were in a bad situation or find something that they just need to get away from, this is what we call a red light.


For instance, for most people, a wedding ring on the finger of a woman would classify as a red light. For some people in this awesome society we live in, it may just pose as a yellow light.


But, lets be honest, there are some things in our local culture that pose as a yellow light to many. I think that most college students, mainly males, have dealt with this phenomena at least once, if not multiple times.


The scenario is this, you meet a nice young lady. You enjoy her presence and could for sure see yourself spending some time with her. For one reason or another, you go over to her apt/house to hang out,maybe get some dinner. So you're sitting there eating bacon, sausage, or whatever you like to eat, and you look on the wall.... And what's there? Nothing but framed picture of this girl you like and some other dude!


There are multiple possibilities that this dreaded picture could signify. One of the most common around here is the often run into problem of a missionary. The thing about a Mormon girl, though they are a very good looking group of gals, they could have a boyfriend in any one of the worlds million countries... Excluding China, The Middle East, and Multiple African countries.


Another possibility is that she's got a boyfriend in her respected part of this beautiful country that we call the U.S. This is most likely the worst situation that a man could run into. And let me tell you why...


If this girl has a missionary, they are only talking maybe twice a year. There are most likely letters being written back and fourth, but a girl needs something a little more tangible sometimes. In the case of a boyfriend somewhere else in the country that's not serving a mission, they can talk whenever they want, they can in reality see each other whenever they want.

I do know some girls that are dealing with this missionary or long distance boyfriend. These young ladies still date, and have fun, but in the end won't go anywhere with it.


Ladies, this is tough on us. As the male race, we're not very good at recognizing lights and their color unless we're sitting in front of a traffic light. So please make things a little more clear for us men that are more-or-less color blind in this aspect.


A green light would be great, but if there is some shady area... Make it clear to us guys whether the situation poses a yellow light, or a green light. Thanks.
