The best dating advice I see in the bible is Matthew 6:33...But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
If we are to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not to our own understanding, shouldn't we also expect that God is directing our steps.
If this is so, whatever the outcome should be viewed as God working things out.
My take would have been...thanks Father for keeping someone from my life that, though seemed good, must not be best. I'm thankful that in your time and in your way you will choose someone for me who is best. Help me Father to wait joyfully knowing even the delay is designed to draw me closer to you and make me more in the image of your Son. You are an awesome God.
