ChristianGuru that is. It wasn't 12 hours ago that a lady a few years my junior messages me asking me what's up. I tell her I'm waiting for my friend to come online. She asks why? I say he needs my advice on how to know if a woman likes him. Kind of shocking to here a 30 yr old ask. She tells me I should spend less time playing match maker and match myself with someone who likes me. Her. Referring to herself. I LOL'd.

Hi, I'm ChristianGuru and when I'm not doing audio broadcasts for Christian Singles and Christians in general on my YouTube Channel, MarkAmerica1, I'm here looking for anybody I can find that I can possibly help.

Like Will Smith in the movie "Hitch" I too was a struggler in my younger years. I was that guy growing up in youth group, who couldn't wait to grow up so I could finally meet "my future wife" and get married. At 21, the time came, my future wife arrived and 5 months after we first me told me she wasn't ready for a relationship. My little world was shaken and was never to return. Once a mind grows it never returns to it's original state.

Over the past few months on here I've seen numerous messages from men and women alike asking questions.

The best answer that I could ever give anybody... is that your problems, questions, concerns and fears are capable of meeting resolve. Every person has things to deal with, goals to accomplish, the ever elusive victory. You'll reach your destination, you'll win and walk off into the sunset. The catch is... once you walk off into the sunset, the next phase or new problems arise.

This is where I tell everyone... life is a process... a process that lasts the entire duration of your existence on this planet. The key is to embrace the process, embrace the defeat, embrace the failure and know that pain is your gain.

You step up to your fear and your rewards are moral victory and personal growth. Before you even get any advice on meeting women, asking women out, getting a girlfriend, getting engaged, try to figure which church to get married in, which Pastor going to marry you, what color flowers your wife wants for your wedding, you're going to have to face this. Defeat happens. I liked a girl in church for years from the time I was in middle school to high school, we never ended up dating, but I felt so much stronger after I just simply approached her and we talked. It allowed me to ask out the next girl I liked so much easier. If I could overcome this fear, I could overcome any fear.

Pro athletes face failure every season, the champions of every sport almost never go undefeated or unwounded. It's about stepping up to what you fear most, facing it and be unphased by victory or defeat.

So, what you're saying is...you're going to match us up with the perfect spouse! :D


(I'm just kidding, by the way. Lol).

But, being serious now, you make some good points. Fear can stand in our way, and if we haven't met that person yet, it is because it is not God's perfect timing for us yet. And, if you stop and think about it, there is probably something God wants to teach those who are still single; He wants them to grow as a person, so that when He does send that special someone into their lives, they will be prepared (especially spiritually) to be with them.

I've got enough to worry about right now. I'm looking forward to that special someone coming along, but trying to think up what color flowers I'll have at my wedding is more brain power than I can afford to devote right now. Lol.

LOL. Nod, you crack me up.

Yes indeedy, ChristianGuru... if you are offering match-making services, we all expect that you will set us up with good, Christian people who are the aesthetic equivalent of Will Smith (for us girls) and Eva Mendez (for the guys), since you've called yourself our Christian version of "Hitch"... I can't wait for my phone to start ringing off the hook!!!! ;)

P.S. Please make sure none our matches have the issues/problems mentioned in Zeroturbulence's thread concerning the categories of men we women are trying to avoid.

Can't wait to hear about your first successfully matched couple here on CC!!! :p (Uh, if it would be me... I'm not sure sure I would tell... :)).

So basically what you are saying is that we are going to be frustrated until we find that person that is our match.

Thanks for the incredible insight? :confused:

Exactly. It's about helping people realize what they've got to do to help themselves.

Unfortunately my response to this is, I recall being age 12-20 and living my life "deferred" which means "waiting" for the "future". I see it in all of the eyes of teenagers at my church. I look at them and I see this false positivity that realities yet to confront. I recall being that positive. Like they say, those are the best years of your life. That's until you step into the real world. Where you have to make things work. It's easy to be age 12-20 like I once was or anybody else was and defer to the future... "in the future God will present this". I grew up from age 12-20 believing everything would work out, what I learned was that I had to make it work out.

Success stories for myself or for others? For myself, I have no trouble meeting women anywhere and getting numbers and arranging dates. I just did it again on Saturday night.

Success stories for my friends, I educated one of my friends on the importance of understanding how women think and feel. How not too push too fast, too soon and how to show women marvelous times that they're admire you for, for years to come.

Hi Penguingal!! (waving) :)
You will be frustrated until you find that person that is your match. That's because you'll constantly be pressuring yourself into finding a person with unrealistic or overdone expectations. The idea is to accept the fullness of life and the fullness that an individual person brings. Stop worrying and focusing on finding your match, believe you never will and OPEN YOUR MIND towards lifes opportunities. Watch the movie "Yes Man" with Jim Carrey to learn more about how your choices and mindsets can change outcomes. Obviously not as over the top as the movie. A man goes how he thinks.

I had a friend this weekend, who never goes out unless he meets his future wife. It took convincing but I got him out and got him realizing, that he needs to set out to enjoy his life regardless. He had a great time.

The chances of anyone ever coming on christianchat.com and finding their future spouse is probably 0 in 1,000,000. I've never once met a person from my own state, let alone area on this site. I've never met anybody from my side of the country on here. I live in the USA. Anyone you meet is going to be a couple states away or over a thousand miles away. I've had a couple girls who wanted to date me, and they lived like 15 states West. I was sincere and said... this will never work out.

You're 18 years old according to your info presented in this thread. I've met plently of christian women when I was 12-24 that I thought were going to be my future spouse. Meeting christians you're attracted to is common. Try and remember past christians you've felt strongly about to re-enforce the idea that it will happen again in the future. Many christians have dated others and broken it off because it just wasn't going to work out long term.

You're 18 and realistically you'll have plenty of opportunties to meet a guy near you, or a few towns over. Maybe, your church or area has no propsective guys you'd like to get to know. That doesn't mean new people won't arrive at your church, OR maybe you might go to a new church yourself with more people your age in a year or two if you so choose.

The reason why his mom may be trying to set him up with another girl, is because he may spend a lot of time on his computer and doesn't get out of the house enough. He may have more friends online than he does in real life. He may be socially shy. It's pretty bad when a guys mother feels the ambition to set him up. It usually doesn't speak well for any guy. Sure, my mom's made suggestions like every mother does when I was younger.

For both of you, I feel strongly that you'd each have no trouble meeting somebody in your area.

I once told myself 5 years ago, I'd be married in 2 years. It's 3 years later. ;) I'd stay focused on what opportunties are presented before you and act accordingly. As far as your "list" goes, good luck to you in finding a guy with all of those qualities. :rolleyes: I'd start by enrolling yourself in Harvard and working your way back out. Join the band and meet the guys who play saxophone's. See if any of them can swing dance. Then go down the list from there.

You should be confused. I'm confused as well. That's because it's nearly impossible to gage if someone is on the same level spiritually as you are. It's just hard to determine this. Beyond finding someone you're attacted to and bond with, which of and in itself can be difficult to find first and foremost. You then want to know about the persons walk.

Some factors of determining who to date before spiritual factors are considered...
Abundance - Is this type of person even present at your church or in your area
Attraction - You like them, they like you
Chemistry - You share a few common interests, share in laughs, etc

So even before you can even dig into their spiritual walk, you've got all of these factors first.
Abundance would be based on the amount of opposite gender members are apart of your church or church group, bible study, inner circle of friends, etc.

Is it applicable? I personally say go for it and see what happens. You'll know if it will work out or not after an amount of time. It's all about taking the time to know somebody. You'll either find out things that are more positive or more negative about them.

You may not meet your spouse here, but you surely can meet good friends. And, this fits right in with living your life now, having adventures, and seeing where God takes you.

I met a fantastic girl here, MusicalMe, whom I've written about before in posts--she and I met solely here, started exchanging emails, stories about our lives, etc.

After about a year of contact, I flew out to meet her (we live on opposite sides of the US) and had a totally amazing time!!!!

Even if you don't meet "the one" today... or tomorrow... or next year... always save room in your heart for a new friend. :)
