We know angels can take human form. No scripture of them taking the form of a woman. We don't know the kind of physical relationships they had in heaven.Do you hope to have boy parts or girl parts?
I think I should wait until the millennium age to start dating again.

Read the verse in Genesis 6. They TOOK for themselves wives. The woman may have not had a choice.
You're right. But my watching sports on TV was an idol in my life for selfish pleasure until God convicted me early in my ministry when I preached on 1 Corinthians 10:31, which says basically that we're supposed to do everything to God's glory. He led me to use my mind while I watched to praise him for his creative power in creating the human body to do those amazing things. I'm thankful that he didn't guide me to throw it out of my life, because I had a natural point of contact with many unbelievers that opened real opportunities to witness and eventually share the gospel with them.
I can testify about the gift of singleness. After 56 years married to my dear wife, I experienced her sudden death, and God has made me a confirmed bachelor to concentrate more on my media ministry writing and publishing books and other media.
men take wives, women are given in marriage, i.e. the give themselves in marriage and the men take them. Kind of like receiving a gift, which should be valued above rubies, of course.
In your OP, you said something like, "Then looks and money won't matter" and I think a home was included in that. What makes you think any of it matters as much now? Are you going by your own preferences?
Read Jude. They left their habitation.
I wouldn't count on having a sex life in the next age. But I'm pretty sure glorification will be better than sex.
Have you tried posting a 'looking for a wife' thread in the singles forum?
You miss the point. The fallen angels had desires for companionship. They saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful
Some read it that way, and some don't. And, in Scripture there is zero account
of any angel taking on the form of a human aside from the express will of God.
They are fallen for a reason. If there was sex in the heavens they wouldn't have had to come to earth to begin with.
They were not thrown out of heaven because of sex, they were thrown out for siding with Satan.
This is correct. One-third of the holy angels rebelled and were cast out of the third heaven (God's Heaven). But it was not all these evil angels which had intercourse with human women. Just some. And because of that they were locked up in the prison called "Tartarus" in order to await their final judgment (the Lake of Fire). Since these are spirit beings the term "everlasting chains under darkness" (or "chains of darkness") is used to describe their prison. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. (Jude 1:6) Peter speaks about "the lusts of the flesh" in this context.
