OK. I'm 27 years old; 28 in April, and I am seeking a wife. I know that you're looking for a man of god; are you meaning someone who is serious about a relationship and marriage?
My "dating" history: Mainly talking to people online, trying to get an in-person meeting set up, but went no where.
The thing is, I really don't see why there has to be this Who Wants To Be A Millionaire-like path to marriage:
SINGLE
FRIENDS
DATING
RELATIONSHIP
ENGAGED
MARRIED
Now, if you're comfortable with that, and the guy is too, fine. However, I DO NOT believe that this is the only way to find a husband. Do you want to be married? If so, why do you want to be married in the first place? You HAVE to ask yourself this question before starting ANY relationship. Because, using myself as an example, I am perfectly content to go from SINGLE to BETROTHED to MARRIED without any dating, as long as I know that my mate is just as serious about marriage as I am. That's why I'm doing this in the first place. So why do I want to be married? Simple. Sex without sinning, and lifelong companionship. I don't see at all why that's so disgusting or gross or anything like that. The Bible itself says it. Yet, that's for another thread (so PLEASE DON'T START!). Whoever I'm interacting with who I have a chance of marrying, of course I am willing to get to know her. However, I refuse to date just for the sake of dating. I want to be intentional in this. As for you, I hope you, whoever you're interacting with, and all of you be serious in your relationships. And be honest with each other, PLEASE. This saves you all a BUNCH of heartache. Believe me in this.
And yes, it is in God's timing. But even God doesn't want you do be idle in something if it's very important. This is why the first question I want you to ask yourself is Why.
