Try punching them under the armpit. That way if it does leave a mark, no one will see 
No I hear you. I'm 24 and come close to relationships (very close) but never had that full commitment (on both parts).
Although, I'm currently talking to someone. Count your blessing that you're allowed to date on your course. The girl I'm talking to is on a course where they have a no dating rule. If you see as so much liking someone or talking to them a little too much or getting too close, you pulled into the office borderline interrogated. It's garbage. I'm learning to accept it and adapt to it. It's helping us because I want to remain integral. I want to do everything right. More important than a relationship, we have a solid friendship and if we come to a point where we decide we don't want to be more than friends, at least our friendship will still be in tact. I wouldn't want to do anything that would jeorpardise her placement on the course so I'm being a good boy. It will also give her a break from the norm of being with complete wastes of guys lol.

OK. I'm 27 years old; 28 in April, and I am seeking a wife. I know that you're looking for a man of god; are you meaning someone who is serious about a relationship and marriage?
My "dating" history: Mainly talking to people online, trying to get an in-person meeting set up, but went no where.
The thing is, I really don't see why there has to be this Who Wants To Be A Millionaire-like path to marriage:
SINGLE
FRIENDS
DATING
RELATIONSHIP
ENGAGED
MARRIED
Now, if you're comfortable with that, and the guy is too, fine. However, I DO NOT believe that this is the only way to find a husband. Do you want to be married? If so, why do you want to be married in the first place? You HAVE to ask yourself this question before starting ANY relationship. Because, using myself as an example, I am perfectly content to go from SINGLE to BETROTHED to MARRIED without any dating, as long as I know that my mate is just as serious about marriage as I am. That's why I'm doing this in the first place. So why do I want to be married? Simple. Sex without sinning, and lifelong companionship. I don't see at all why that's so disgusting or gross or anything like that. The Bible itself says it. Yet, that's for another thread (so PLEASE DON'T START!). Whoever I'm interacting with who I have a chance of marrying, of course I am willing to get to know her. However, I refuse to date just for the sake of dating. I want to be intentional in this. As for you, I hope you, whoever you're interacting with, and all of you be serious in your relationships. And be honest with each other, PLEASE. This saves you all a BUNCH of heartache. Believe me in this.
And yes, it is in God's timing. But even God doesn't want you do be idle in something if it's very important. This is why the first question I want you to ask yourself is Why.

I have no problem with the mindsrt you have. I do mean someone who knows God and is serious in settling down not dating to date. Or is serious about not having sex before marriage. Im not ready to be married right this moment but yeah im not looking to date for fun. I want both of our intentions to be clear. Im okay with having friends.

Luke 14:7-11
[SUP]7 [/SUP]And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them, [SUP]8 [/SUP]When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; [SUP]9 [/SUP]and he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. [SUP]10 [/SUP]But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. [SUP]11 [/SUP]For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Instead of saying that I can't find a woman who is worth my time, I prefer to say that I am not worthy of any woman. It is good to be humble.

To the original topic: I hear you about bible colleges. So many girls go to a bible college to "find a good preacher to marry" that some call them bridal colleges. :-/
But yeah, you seem to have your head on straight. What you see as reality seems to be a lot closer to what is real than the "I have to get married now or I'll grow old alone" people. To answer your question - no, you're not alone in thinking the way you think.
