First off, I don't think Christians should "date" the way the world defines it. "Courting" is a better term as it implies a search for a mate rather than a simple search for sex.
Secondly, a wise man once told me, "God would not have given you a desire to be married if he didn't have someone special out there for you somewhere. When the time is right and you are both ready He will bring you together." He was my best man when I finally found my soulmate. 8o)
Most of you probably won't believe this but my wife and I both married our first loves. Our first date was on 19 November 1999 and was the first date either of us had ever been on. I was 23; she was 19. We're celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary next week. 8o)
Basically I'm saying that if you desire to be married someday then trust God to show you that person in his time. Trying to find your lifemate without God's guidance will only lead to heartache... I've seen it happen far too often.
--
It's been said already but bears repeating: if your boy/girlfriend doesn't want to wait for sex then that's probably not the person God wants you to be with. I've seen the misery and chaos that sex can wreak in a relationship. It's not worth it.

I want to wait to date until I come across the woman that God has chosen for me, but I've been wondering what I will do if I find a wonderful girl, though I know that we probably won't marry . . . will I date her, or will I have to say no? What if she asks me? You know? Cause I'm a bit too young to really get into a relationship that will likely result in marriage. But it really does make sense to wait until you find the woman God has chosen for you. Cause I just know that when I see her, I'll just know, somehow, that it's her. Was that how it was for you?

Yes it was. We had known each other for more than a year before our courtship began but I knew from the beginning that we were meant to be together. I was so sure, in fact, that I proposed a mere nine months after our first date.

You and your wife are very lucky to have each other. (Well, I shouldn't say lucky, cause God planned it, but you know what I mean.) I hope you remain faithful to each other and to God for the rest of your lives. biggrin

LearningtoBreath63 How should a Christian go about dating? What are good things Christians can do? And for those who plan on waiting for sex until marriage, how do we go about telling the person we're dating that we want to wait with out scaring them off? Their are other questions, but those are the big three. Oh, and 1 rule, no arguing about what age it is appropriate to start dating. That gets annoying and this isn't the debate forum. GOOD topic. But hard to say, since we are all different. For me, following Christ in my relationships means dating those who share or at least KNOW my beliefs implicitly. Then it's not so awkward to say "Hey, I am a virgin and want t wait to be married before any sexual activity" because it is ASSUMED... either because they feel the same or they know me well enough because I have not hidden my beliefs that it would come as no surprise.

If God has A Wife or a Husband for you. why would you want to date a bunch of people, if God will just Give you the perfect one.
