I realized a lot of things today and I figured, why not share them on here? :p

As some of you may know, I am a new Christian.. I came to Christ about 3 months ago. I know that I have experienced A LOT of changes since then. My whole life has changed, my entire perspective.. everything. But today I just realized how much it really has changed.

Today I had the chance to meet up with someone that I was really interested in for most of last year. He was the one guy that "got away" and that, as much as other guys would come into my life, I always compared them to him. But it was so strange because, as much as I am still attracted to him physically, I realize that we are really not a good match. He isn't a Christian for one thing, and we don't share a lot of the same values. It kind of opened my eyes that before, as much as I thought I knew what I wanted in a guy, I really had no idea until I placed God first. This has happened on two other occasions with guys I was really interested in at one point and had the chance to talk to again since being saved. I found it difficult to see what I was even attracted to in the first place. Now, instead of being flirty and talk about unimportant things on a date, I go straight for the important questions. Faith, future goals, family... it helps me to see if I really am compatible with the guy- that I am not letting physical attraction or other appealing qualities get in the way of what is really important!

Anyway, just thought I'd share.. I was really excited to get to meet up with this guy again. But the minute we started really talking I realized I just wasn't interested in him anymore. I never ever thought I would say that! lol

Anyone have any similar experiences?

I can relate to where you at right now. I myself, now place alot more importance on being evenly yoked with a person before entering in a freindship. I thank God for filling the hole inside me that nobody had been able to fill in the past. I am no longer a neady person and I am quite happy to wait for God to send Mrs right my way.

Yeah, Since re-newing my faiht I guess, I have noticed a Huge change in how I view dating in general. I'm not dating, but I no longer want to date for the sake of dating, and because of societal pressures that its weird not to have a bf. With guys I used to like yeah Ive had that, there was a guy I just thought our timing was off, we never liked each other at the same time. Ive realized recently I coud have some sort of relationship with him, but that it would be the easy way out. Yes I could date him, fulfill that want to be cared for, but it wouldnt be in my best interest or his, intseado ignoring that I listen even though sometimes I dont want to...
