Thats awesomeee, sad to say in my life ive had many girlfriends but None fulfilled that longing in my life like Jesus did, so now im 18 years old and just waiting on the one God has planed for me, cause i want her to be my Wifee no more games lol
but yeah alot of times when we look for love we look for the (RIGHT-NOW) sort which is not real love, Love grows and grows and grows till it matures past both of the lovers, thats the Kind of Love i believe God wants everybody to Have and its only found when He Gives it

Im completely in agreement with you. I dont see why some people feel need to rush, itll happen all in Gods timing, just continue loving God and be patient in Him because he has great things in store for you

I totally agree. You should save your whole heart for your future spouse and not give parts of it away to other guys. Your husband deserves to have all of you, not whats left.
rEVOLutionary. - 1/21/10 @ 9:36 AM
i def agree with you sis...def def def wait until the Lord has placed that someone in your life. because if you do things on your own terms, then the relationship could end up in ruins, the person that u chose wouldnt be compatible, and most of all, you are interfering with someone elses husband that God has set up with someone else you know what i mean? patience is virtue. use it girly..im right along with ya! Godly women, are God-fearing women!
Jasmine - 1/21/10 @ 7:05 PM
I agree with you completely! A lot of my friends have pressured me into dating and many guys have asked me out but Ive still said no. I plan to wait for the right guy and I dont know when that will be but Im praying and trusting God.

Keep your eyes on God and he will bring the one that he has planned for you. You must be the standard in your school because no one else is doing what your doing. Theyve all fallen into lust and peerpressure and desperation to fill their loneliness. In which we know we can never have since we have Jesus. Check this poem out my aunt gave me its pretty inspiring.
True Love Waits
Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone.
To have a deep soul relationship with another.
To be loved thoroughly and exclusively
But God, to a Christian, says
No, not until you are satisfied, filled, and content
With being loved by Me alone;
With giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me alone,
Discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found
Will your be capable of the perfect human relationship
That I have planned for you.
You will never be united with another until
you are united with me,
Exclusive of any other or anything else.
Exclusive of any other desires or longings.
I want you to stop planning, stop wishing,
And allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing.
One that you cannot imagine.
I want you to have the best.
Please allow me to bring it to you.
You must keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things.
Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I am,
Keep learning and learning all the things that I tell you.
You just wait; just wait. That’s all.
Don’t be anxious. Don’t worry.
Don’t look around at the things others have gotten,
Or that I have given them.
Don’t look at the things you think you want
You just keep looking off and away to Me
Or you will miss what I want to show you.
And then when you’re ready, ill surprise you with
A love more wonderful than any you would dream of.
You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready (I am working even at the moment to have both of you ready at the same time),
Until you are both satisfied with Me
And the life I’ve prepared for you,
You won’t be able to experience the love that exemplifies
Your relationship with me, and this is the perfect love.
And dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love.
I want you to see in the flesh
A picture of your relationship;
Of beauty, perfection and the love that I offer you
With myself.
I am God.
Believe it and be satisfied

IM TOTALLY WITH YOU GIRL!!! im 16 and ive never ever dated. i dont think im ever going to "date" as the world does. im going for courting! =D i havent really been teased much about not dating but one of my friends one time was really bugging me cuz i said ive never kissed a guy and he said that that was immature! i cant comprehend how he feels that way or why he wouldnt at least understand MY wanting to save my first kiss for my husband, but i totally know how you feel girl and dont worry. youre soo not alone! ^^ MUCH LOVE!
Jesse - 1/22/10 @ 12:44 PM
yeah im going to be totally opposite of most people in this forum...which is ok with me.
many Christians say that it is hard to stay pure in a dating relationship, that you shouldnt date the person unless you KNOW youre going to marry them, etc. etc.
well the truth is...it is hard to stay pure in a dating relationship, but its not impossible.
Ive been dating my g/f for four years now, and if i had never stepped forward to ask her out...my spiritual life would not be where it is right now. Jesus loves me and my girlfriend the same and when your goal is marriage [which mine is] then why cant Jesus bless a pure dating relationship?
Now, im not gonna say that you just need to find someone, cause thats not the goal. the goal is someone to help you out for the rest of your life. by dating [with guidelines] you get to know someone over a longer period of time then when you court. BUT here are some tips:
1. dont jump in
2. when/if you do feel a boyfriend is an ok thing, you HAVE TO COMMUNICATE. if you and him arent on the same page, dont even bother
3. keep your parents in the loop. they are definately one of the best accountability partners around. also keep both sets of parents in the loop and communicate often.
4. pray with each other...often
5. keep alone time at a minimum. try group dates with friends. not necessarily other dating friends, but keep a nice mix going.
5. MAINTAIN BALANCE IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP. LIFE FOR YOUR FRIENDS IS NOT FUN IF YOUR LIFE DOESNT INCLUDE THEM, BUT DOES INCLUDE YOUR BOYFRIEND.
6. Stand up for yourself as a child of God
maintain purity and enjoy a dating relationship. just do it smart is all. respond w/questions if you want.

Crazy Rocker Barbie - 1/23/10 @ 9:42 AM
i think thats a really good answer jesse and i respect you going opposite from almost everyone else here. actually, i dont think its even completely opposite because i think a lot of the people here will agree with your tips and its still not dating as the world dates. its a little closer to courting. personally, i feel that if you are going to "date" you should be doing it with the mindset of "is this someone i would want to marry" and not "this is fun! i got myself a bf!" lol but i think everyone here agrees with that.
Jesse - 1/25/10 @ 7:49 AM
i concur. its the motive that is the difference btwn us and the world in pretty much every aspect of life!
Munchiees - 1/28/10 @ 8:51 AM
I Agree 100% and alot of friends i know only date because they feel lonley but thats what my friends and family are for. Jesse that is great tips and advice you gave God bless you all :]
Josi - 2/5/10 @ 6:58 PM
Good for you, dont give in and dont feel like you have to date right now. God will provide the right person for you, just pray about it too.
robyn - 2/5/10 @ 9:29 PM
As of right now Ive never had a boyfriend. I couldve multiple times but those guys hardly even knew me so i told them both no. God knew what he was thinking when he told me to say no even though i didnt want to at first. Im not opposed to dating but its gonna be on Gods terms when im ready to have a relationship with someone else. Im not ready right now. My relationship with god isnt where it needs to be and i need to work on it. I feel terrible saying this but im tired of waiting for Gods timing.
Munchiees - 2/9/10 @ 8:47 AM
Robyn.
I Get like that sometimes too but itll be worth it.God is testing us. will we be faithful? I have those times when i see my friends with their bf/gf and i wish i had someone too but then i remember when they come to me crying because he/she cheated on them and thats when i ask myself. "Do i really want that? to have someone break my heart and that may not even be the one God sent me?" its hard trust me i know but itll be worth it in the end and save you from a broken heart. Gods always with you and he knows whats best i sometimes dont feel like i have a good relationship w/God either but im trying.just like God is preparing you hes preparing your partner for you. In the long run itll be worth it. we might give in some of us have but we can ask God to forgive us and learn from our mistakes
Nicole - 2/9/10 @ 10:43 AM
I absolutely agree with you! Ive dated in the past but I regret most of it. God knows when the timing is right. Just trust Him! In fact, my fb status says Im in a relationship... and I am, just not an earthly one. :)
Paige - 2/10/10 @ 12:48 PM
Hey girl, dont feel down because you have not dated. My best friend has never dated, and of course she feels at times like something is wrong with her, but i try to convince her that nothing is wrong with her, God just has someone picked out for her and shes smart enough to know when to date and when not to. Shes had boys try to take her out, but she just knew each time that person wasnt for her.
I agree with the fact that dating is for marriage, so you really shouldnt date if you dont think they have the potential of being with you forever. Of course you might have relationships where you think at first they have the potential but then they really dont. Just be patient; Gods the only one who has the perfect timing for finding the right person for you :)
Kendra - 2/11/10 @ 9:53 AM
Okay, this may sound crazy, but I am 21 years old and I have never had a boyfriend, never kissed a guy, never even held hands . Some would think this was a bad thing, but it doesnt bother me too much. Sure, there are some days where I get a little down because most of my friends are in serious relationships or even married right now. But I know God will send me someone when He feels the time is right. He will send me someone who needs me just as much as I need them. :D
Nory-o - 2/11/10 @ 10:01 AM
i totally agree. guys can be very uncool! now i jst want 2 love God and Jesus and I knw n time he will put the Godly man n my life who i will marry. jst hv patience and keep trustin n the Lord.
