*Channeling the spirit of certain grumpy men on the forum*
"A man's heart is like stinkweed. You don't know how truly stinky it is until you peel back the outer layers."
Actually a man's heart is like a peach. Pretty simple, what you see is what you get all the way from the outside to the center. And at the center is a core as solid as a rock.
Or at least that's what the men I know are like. I am blessed to know some pretty good men.

Thats interesting...i see many mens hearts like a cave..it's not always easy to work out how to get into it..but once you do..there are dark areas obscure enough to miss it if you don't have enough light with you.(even secrets areas too)..and there are different levels..yet at the very end there is hidden treasure that few find without making the effort to search for it.Yet once found one realises this cave was in fact a place with the potential to bless the lives of others!..

Hi thanks for your reply
In my thread I had set the scene that two points you raised would have already been dealt with.(.You both would know it is the will of God)
Yet to cover this..there are no set rules as to how god communicates to people in this area.Sometimes he will specifically let both persons know direct that they were ment to be together..(wisdom and clarification is needed in this area which I have seen God honour in people's lives.)Sometimes only one will sense it from God and the other person will know from God later on.Sometimes god says nothing at all and two persons like each other..start dating ..and eventually get married (naturally with prayer and trusting God all the way through)..I could go on and on..(the list is endless)
As having a partner is such a life changing thing I know for sure that God cares about who we are with and Jesus said "my sheep hear my voice"..and I belive if you like someone and are totally honest with God and know how to ask him for help regarding the person God is YOUR Heavenly Father and will not abandon you.
God knows how to communicate to a person providing they are willing to listen and be honest about their own heart.Sometimes Things you pray about just work out according to what you have prayed for and NO one needs to know what you have asked of God but you.
Regarding you saying you don't know how you will be at that time,as you might be a different kind of person at that time is true of all of us..what changes us is what we go through in life as if can shape what we think,feel,learn,react too ect..yet there is one thing that will NOT change,....God being your Heavenly Father and he only gives good gifts to his children.So whether you say anything to HER or to God regarding her..Your heart would say at some point.'.Thank you God'..we thank God for many things in life already don't we??...and I recon your heart would be grateful to God!
Yeah but that's the problem. I'm afraid by the time I meet her I'll be a grumpy old man like... er, like some guys we know... and I won't want her intruding in my nice, orderly life and I'll growl at her and chase her away.
Just being facetious of course. I hope I will never become a grumpy old man. Old is inevitable, unless I die first, but grumpy I can avoid if I take precautions.

Assuming I have no supernatural way of knowing he's the one for me I imagine that I would look at him like he's nuts (when he asked me out) and tell him no. I don't trust easily, lol. I've told God that if He has someone for me then we'll have to be good friends first and he'll have to spend a lot of time convincing me to date him--so he'll have to really mean it. I won't go out with someone I don't already know. I went on one date and I didn't say much of anything. I got too shy. It's crazy, because I'm not a shy person, but I just got too scared and didn't know how to act. Normally with me what you see is what you get, and I'm always my true self. That's why I didn't like how shy I was on that date. If I can't be me then I'm not going.
