I've always prayed that God would send me the right person and that would be the one that I would marry. I know that it might not be possible, but I've also prayed that he's never dated anyone either. I would like to know what everyone thinks on this subject. Do you think it's possible and do you think it's strange that I'm thinking that way? Does anyone else pray this too?

Peace be upon you.
Nothing is impossible. There are people out there thinking just the way you do. Let me tell you a little something. When LORD Jesus Christ was born, the Star was shining above him. You know, we have all heard about the wise men who could read and understand the stars. Well let me tell you something. These wise men were the ONLY ones that could actually SEE the Star above Jesus Christ. Do you know why? Because these people had their whole life been seeking and looking for Stars. This is the same for the people who all their life has been looking for Christ, they shall find Christ. What you look for and seek, you shall find.

Hi Emily :)
Actually, I believe that too, only it's more cultural in my case. That is how may parents were, my grandparents were, etc. You find one guy and settle down. I am 18 and I plan on staying completely single till I find the right guy. My first, my last, my only. Also, none of my brothers have dated, and they are normal, popular guys (ages 14 - 23) and, I am told, rather handsome. But yeah, there are guys out there!

HA.. well I am 26 and married. But was 22 when I got married and my husband was 28. Well he was 27 when we started dating and I was the FIRST girl he'd ever dated.. and we dated for 6 months.. and got engaged.. married a little under 4 months later. So there are single guys out there! And no he wasn't at a Star Wars/ Trek / Comic Book convention ;)

A friend of mine once said the hazard of dating one person and marrying that person is that you might wonder from time to time, what would have happened if I had dated others, might I have found a different person that suited me better, that had qualities x, y and z or more of them? I believe that with us females we might tend to think in that direction, when conflict arises with that one person we married. I believe dating around helps prevent divorce, considering divorce happens in 50% of marriages, because by dating around a person finds out what helps in making a relationship works, what hinders and also what traits in a person they do and don't want as well as which ones a person can easily ignore and which ones can't be ignored.

You can also find single men who have never dated at Star Wars, Star Trek, or comic book conventions.
But there is probably good reason those men have never dated lol

Or you can find young men who have never dated on websites that have RPG's. Like World of Warcraft or whatever it is people play nowadays.

All you have control over is what you do! Just pray that God would give your future husband the strength to do the Lord's will! :)
Because after all God has the best plan for your life! And for your husband's life...
So praying for His will...is the most perfect things you can do! :)

Emily i say stick with that, and dont let it go, like i have gone out wit some girls like 4 but 3 of em waqs just a week n other wasnt going anywhere from the start, n it has been neary 2 years now sence my last gilfriend but sadly 7months sece last kiss (i should not of issed the girl)
but now my standers are ok i'v gone out cant expect her never to of, i have kissed, cant expect er never to of, i have never done anything except kiss, hug, footsy hold hand or put my hand on her chest,
so i wont accept any girl who has done more than any of them,
and people may call that extreme or silly, but no
y should 1 HAVE to settel for less than them selfs, like in the way of you have kept your self y not get some1 who also has,
and i think your more honest than people who go around all like, ofh keep my self "pure" for marrage,
going out you give part of your self away and i still miss what i gave away 2 years ago, cant take it back.
so there for i am "inpure"
so if you are 100% pure then keep your self for that guy who will be 100% pure
