Hiya,
I'm not sure what I'm looking for by posting this. I don't know if I want advice, or opinions, or even just to type it out!
I only became a Christian 2 years ago. Before that I was varying between paganism and agnostic. I wasn't brought up Christian and none of my family are, so please don't tell me of for my views pre-2009!
Anyway, I've been in a few awful relationships, and 2 really good ones. I was with someone when I became a Christian, and although he wasn't one, he was fully supportive of me and sometimes came to church with me. We got engaged in 2010 but unfortunately it didn't work out.
My friends have all been telling me that next time I am in a relationship, it needs to be with a Christian guy. At first I listened to them, but I didn't really take it on. I didn't think it was important. I was warned off the next person I had a very short relationship with, and surprise surprise, my friends were right. I did get hurt.
After that I didn't pray or feel God at all for a while until I got ill and then all the friends I had pushed away were still there for me. These last 3 weeks I've been reading the Bible more and more, praying more, and generally thinking about my faith more.
I'm an affectionate person, and a 'relationshippy' one. I like having someone to share my life with and my main ambition in my life is to be a wonderful wife and mum. I've been on my own for a while now. Apart from that one little crazy patch - I don't know what it was about!
I'm feeling that I want to meet someone, soonish. I would love to have the intimacy with someone like I see with my friends. Praying together, talking, and of course doing all of the normal things like tv, walks etc.
I have no idea how to meet someone. There isn't anyone at my church really. I'm trying to get involved with the student section of another church I sometimes attend, which will be nice. I'm not joining it specifically to meet people, but a lot of what has been going through my mind recently is where will I meet someone and I know they're a Christian?
Sorry for the long post - I didn't realise I would write quite so much. I'm glad to have written it all down though
