So i lost my husband 7 months ago. And back to getting back into single life. Everyone is different but i know im ready to actually start dating again the problem is that there isnt anyone i would want to date right now. There are a number of guys interested in me however i know they arnt marriage material so i wont date for the sake of just getting back into singleness. I want to date only someone that i could actually marry. Is that too picky?

Not at all. Why waste time on bozos?

Welcome to the forum SalRuth - I'm so sorry for your loss - God Bless you... I think you will enjoy it here, and I know that you will find enormous comfort, generosity and more people that you could imagine who are genuinely willing to pray for you.
My mother became a widow at a very young age, so I have immense empathy for your loss and suffering. Personally, I can also appreciate your heart's desire for companionship... Embrace your faith in the lord, put your faith and trust in his graciousness to bless you with the answers to your prayers.
God Bless you in your life's journey. I pray for your happiness and pray that you will find a loving companion who is worthy of your love and who is willing to provide you the unconditional love that you deserve...

Be careful rushing into serious relationships so soon. Even though you think you are ready and may feel that you can handle it....7 months is not that long in the grand scheme of things. Give yourself plenty of time to heal and seek the Lord's will for your life. Let God bring the right one to you and be careful of men who may see you as vulnerable (ie. an easy target). Get to know a few as friends if you must have companionship, take it slow, and seek out support from Godly women who will help you seek God's wisdom. I tell you this as someone who was preyed upon soon after my fiance died and I had no one help me to see that making big decisions like this so soon was a big mistake. God bless you and I am very sorry for your loss!

It could be picky if your expectations are too high.. See it all depends on the reasonableness of your standards..

Plus in reality we all have to assess ourselves and be realistic about our own level of attractiveness.. If one is seeking to attract the best they need to be the best...
