years ago i wanted a husband so bad that it was the only thing that occupied my thought life, even to the point of turning down a job because "self pity poor me I dont have a husband to look after my son,as i was a single mother unwedded It totally changed the course of my life and my life went downhill into ruins and confusion for a long time, you consentrate on being right with God and ask Him to reveal any problems concerning you and your personal makeup that God wants to change or heal or make right, i owned a fraseand still keep it, stop trying to find the right person, concentrate on being the right person,, may you stay in Gods sight always

Yeah the anime and computer geek stuff might chase girls off. And the pervertedness will chase off Christian girls.
I agree with the perverted part. I have to always supress my perverted jokes now adays :)
(for Jesus' sake just as much as for the ladies)

Have you tried a different church and other ministries? :)

Also, remember this "Give your life and desires to God, and he will grant you all these things".
As in, do not worry, and it will be givin to you.

I highly encourage you to try out different serving areas and maybe other churches, not just for the ladies, but for different fellowship if needed, which it sounds VERY MUCH like it is if your not even sure you have friends.

Also, get some prayer for your OCD reeasurance. you can definetly overcome it, Ive seen it before ^_^
You go man! !!!

Those sites SUCK!... sorry but they do ;)

Real life is where its at, hands down!!

You're right, dating websites are not the best way to meet people. But, real life doesn't suit some people. Its hard to meet people in the real world sometimes.

Okay, so I'm in a new semester of college and my chances for finding a girlfriend actually pretty much sucks.

Clubs:

Christian Club: I can't goto because I have class during that time.
Bible Study Club: I don't think is going on this year.

Classes:

Advance Video Game Design: There's only people in that including me. No girls.
StoryBoarding: Only 2 or 3 girls my age in there.
Digial Illustrator: Only 1 girl my age in there, and I don't she'd be my type.
College Algebra: Mostly Guys, maybe a few good girls in here. Really this is the only class where I think I might have small chance.

Chruches:

The Chruch I goto on Wensdays: No girls there my age.
The Chruch I goto on Thursday: A lot of girls there my age, but I'm having problems meeting most of the girls.
The Bible Study I goto on Saturday: There some girls somewhat close to my age, but they aren't my type and they don't like me that much.
The Chruch I goto on Sunday: No girls there my age?

Work:

Mc Donalds: All the girls there are too old for me, or they just have boyfriends, or they just aren't my type...

You know what I'm going to say. You've heard the speel before. So I'll shorten my reply to one word.

Pray.

Its really hard to find a decent church these days much less find one that has girls that are my type. Reason # 3 why I don't go to church to find girls.

hi things might seem a little difficult right now but with faith and patients the time you have while you are single will help you choose the path you take toward the right girl and yes she is out there waiting to be filld with love and joy just like you onley she might not be ready yet. i know i wasent ready for my first relationship or my last and still feal it to be hard to trust anyone i havent met and got to know.

You may not fit the standard of beauty (handsomeness) that many girls are taught through media to desire. Another possibility (and not saying it is you) is that the girls you are near may percieve you as too needy or too insecure or too passive for them to rely on to be protective.

Remember, Meek does not mean milquetoast and wimpy. Meekness is about having the power to act and yet being submissive. It is about self control. Do not confuse that with being effiminenatly passive. A powerful man of God is confident, not afraid and weak and (not trying to insult you) but whiny.

You are very young. I will let you in on something: Christian or not, women and therefore girls... ALL women and girls, are genetically programmmed to seek out men of the highest possible position of respect, financial capacity to provide for their offspring and an ability and desire to physically protect their offspring.

As a male and a man you must demonstrate these things to a woman in order to be appealing to her. Even a woman who has the "social mobility" to only ever be marreid to a "janitor" will still want the best provider of a janitor that she can be proud of. Your beleifs as a Christian are only PART of who you are as a man. You need to start workign on other aspects of who you are if you want a woman to be proud to be with you and eager to "show off" her man. Being a good Christian man does not negate the fundamental biology of being a human man.

I suggest hitting the gym, getting out and playing sports and generally meeting new people. Build some hobbies. I mean really do what you love, learn to be an expert in something, work on presenting information about that topic. Gain the respect of other MEN and you will gain the eye of WOMEN. That is how it works... that is God's plan... why? becasue a woman will never ever submit to a man she does not respect, and no woman will respect a man who is viewed as pathetic and unworthy of respect by other men.

You are completely capable of changing this around. Be yourself, celebrate who you are by honing the wonderful talents that God gave you (whatever they are)!

There is a man named Brian Tracy. He is small, thin man and has a very geeky voice (by my standards). Yet he is one of the top motivational speakers in the world... and a successfully married with four kids Christian man. He also has a smokin hot wife and is well-respected in his field. He has a talent for speaking and presentation, a talent given to him by God, that he multiplied and utilized well. He is a success. You can be too.

But you need to identify your talents, strengthen your body, build your confidence, and become not just a "nice Christian boy" but rather a powerful man of God worth respecting in whatever it is you do best. Surround yourself with likeminded men, men who want to encourage you and uplift you. Stop "hanging on" around girls who view you as a "pal." You are probably just annoying them and they find you clingy. Why? Becaseu that is exactly how most owmen view guys who hand around with girls that they refuse to go out with. They see you as feminized and "safe", not as masculine, a MAN. break the mold brother.

Christ did not seek out wimpy guys who were trailing after women in some desperate hope of being noticed. He picked MEN real men who were out doing hard work that they were talented at and successful at: fishermen, tax collectors, etc. remember, pigs wallow, human beings should not.

God Bless!

Confidence, money, and good looks. Is this supposed to be some kind of guarded secret?

Stop looking, mate!!!

Finding a decent girl is like waiting for water to boil... It's never going to happen if you stand there waiting. :)
