On our first date, (we had been friends for a few months), future-hubby said he was dating to find a wife, because he wasn't good at being single.
I didn't want to get married until him. After date, I called Dad to tell him I just found my future hubby. One week later we were engaged. Seven months later, we were married. 36 years later and we're good.
Why not look for a mate? I can grow anywhere. You don't go to the grocery store to buy a car. If you want something like marriage, how else are you planning to find it but date?

If you don't know who you are... you shouldn't be dating.
If you don't understand anything about yourself... you should get that figured out before you drag other people into a big mess.
Tinkerbell,
You seem like a very nice person, but you say some weird things about dating.
I think you've either had some really bad advice,
or you've had some really bad experiences.
We've all been there.

All I can say is go with your gut feeling about a person...within the Christian culture that is the holy Spirit guiding you and protecting you. I got set up on a date with a guy, he was nice from what I knew but that facade quickly deteriorated and began touching me and wanting to take things somewhere I didn't want them to and after I called him on his behavior he got vengeful and apologized. Instead of going with what God was telling me I agreed to give him a second chance....long story short the next morning he gave me an ultimatum to be with him or else and that was the end of it for me..
So Christian singles please listen to the Holy Spirit, there is more to it then what we may see at the time and he will protect and guide your choices. I can't say that enough

You said you were unassuming and did not think about getting married at all during that date. That's why John liked you. You had no expectations and you were just being yourself. It worked for you right? The more you are desperate to find a mate the more you will not find one. I don't think John was being desperate either, he was just honest. What I am saying is just enjoy dating and don't be desperate about getting married because you will not know what you will find and might be surprised. Like the way John surprised you.
I think what you mean is don't commit or be in a serious relationship if you don't know who you are. Part of knowing who you are is by relating to others and getting to know others by dating.
Maybe I'm just bad at relating advice or explaining myself but I think the christian psychologist Henry Cloud is wise enough to be saying those things.
I agree that's why pete's idea about women being vigorous in dating is ridiculous. But speaking of provoking others including women, you seem to have those skills. jk
