It sounds like you want to be romantically entertained by any bidder, but you don't want to be bothered with the accountability of vesting your life in one godly man.
Well, the Lord Jesus said, "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33).
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God
(2 Corinthians 5:20).

Well, how about these scenarios.
1. Suppose a person is chronically asthmatic. Why would that person want to marry a heavy smoker?
2. Suppose a person is promiscuous. Why should that person want to marry a person practicing celibacy?
3. Now, suppose a godly person is a practicing Christian. Why should that person marry you?

Blunt. Harsh. But accurate.
F
involving in a relationship is not as easy as picking whoever we like, we must be careful with our choices coz in every wrong choice we made there is a corresponding consequences. Consider 2Corinthians 6:14, we should apply it in our lives unless we suffer. i advice you to pray that God would lead you to the right man He's preparing for you.

Question: "Is it right for a Christian to date or marry a non-Christian?"
Answer: For a Christian, dating a non-Christian is unwise, and marrying one is not an option. Second Corinthians 6:14 (KJV) tells us not to be “unequally yoked” with an unbeliever. The imagery is of two incompatible oxen sharing the same yoke. Instead of working together to pull the load, they would be working against each other. While this passage does not specifically mention marriage, it definitely has implications for marriage. The passage goes on to say that there is no harmony between Christ and Belial (Satan). There can be no spiritual harmony in a marriage between a Christian and a non-Christian. Paul goes on to remind believers that they are the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, who inhabits their hearts at salvation (2 Corinthians 6:15-17). Because of that, they are to be separate from the world—in the world, but not of the world—and nowhere is that more important than in life’s most intimate relationship—marriage.
The Bible also says, “Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character’ (1 Corinthians 15:33). Having any kind of intimate relationship with an unbeliever can quickly turn into something that is a hindrance to your walk with Christ. We are called to evangelize the lost, not be intimate with them. There is nothing wrong with building quality friendships with unbelievers, but that is as far as it should go. If you were dating an unbeliever, what would honestly be your priority, romance or winning a soul for Christ? If you were married to an unbeliever, how would the two of you cultivate a spiritual intimacy in your marriage? How could a quality marriage be built and maintained if you disagree on the most crucial issue in the universe—the Lord Jesus Christ?
