And also, you been waiting for 6.5 years? Oh go cry me a river thats not that long. Abraham had to wait for a kid til he was over 100 and trust me, as much as he yearned he also got off his butt and was obediant to God. He knew he was going to have a son. He didnt whine. God is not saying no to you having a girlfriend or marrying one day hes just obviously saying just not right now.
I hate to poke holes in what you said here but there was that small incident with hagar. The result was the creation of what we now call the arab world and Islam

That's the thing God told him he was gonna have one. I've never gotten anything that even looks like God even wants me to have one.
That is what faith is all about. A belief in the unseen hand of God.

Yeah, I know but I'm shy around girls. Well really anyone in real life... blah, I think this is one the things the Holy Spirit was talking about when he was saying I was running from my problems... At least I think it was him(It's still pretty hard for me to tell.)
By the way, you think you've got it bad? I've been turned down by a woman I hadn't even asked out. She told others I had and made a joke out of the whole thing. I wasn't even interested in her. Talk about bursting a man's ego.

Not quite. Arabs came from different tribes altogether. Ishmael produced the Ishmaelites, and they had a history of their own apart from the arabs. What you said is a myth that muslims propagate in order to give validity to their religion, as if they have some sort of claim on Jewish ancestry and a right to Jerusalem and other Jewish holy places. Islam started a few hundred years after Christianity, so it is impossible that this 'new' religion has anything to do with biblical history. Before that, the arab tribes were decidedly pagan...so will we argue that pagans come from Abraham?

Same spiel as usual, Dothack: Get out there, meet people. Join a club or group, network, etc. You'll eventually meet some nice ladies.

Don't forget the old joke about the guy dying at sea. He turned away three rescue helicopters because "God would save him." He dies, goes to Heaven and says, "God, why didn't you save me!?" and God replies, "Dude, I sent three helicopters!"

:p Take some initiative on meeting ladies, and indeed people in general.

There's no reason for me to have faith that I'll get one. S

Seriously, I have no real friends that are girls. I've never kissed a girl, or done anything fun with a girl(non-sexually(sadly...) or sexually). Even when I was thinking about when I was around my friends at the Bible study. I was also getting depressed about how I'm not growing as fast as a Christian as then. Then they started talking about how much I've grown as a Christian over the last 6 months. But it's like God was avoiding the subject about the girls. Really, I don't have much hope at all in the natural or from God that I'll ever get a girlfriend...



you just keep Hope alive and keep urself busy Like go to School. join and organization, or Program, You will meet her Just Keep Bettering urself She will come Rev Jerido

Small steps Dothack. And don't worry about it. The second you make talking to a girl any different than talking to your guy friends, you've erred. That's the real trick man. It's no big deal, girls are people too, haha. Then you'll be more comfortable around girls, less shy. And, you'll worry a lot less about not getting a girlfriend, and can concentrate and life and God. Then perhaps He'd lead you into a good situation.

It's been 5 months and I'm still not any closer to getting a girlfriend than I was a year ago.

If you stop looking and following your flesh-leave it to God-God will lead you to her and her to you-this will happen,omly if Gods will.
I wouldnt search-seek God - if you are meant to be with someone God WILL make it happen,But in His time,not yours.

there was a man who was talking to god.
god said to him son,a minute to me is a lifetime to you.
and so they continued for awhile.
the man said-God,you say ask and it shall be given to me,right?
Of course God replied yes,My son!
and so the man then asked him-Father can you give me a million dollars?
and God replied to him "of course!------------Just a minute..........
