Berezi NewFoundLight Go to a church the Internet is not the place for this. It can be. But I do agree with you for the most part. There's just something better about relationship finding in general. Although I think if you had read you would have noticed that he'd already tried his church and hasn't found anybody he considers to be spiritually mature. This is kind of a last resort. actually no I read the first post, and thats it.

Magister, be careful about the whole faith anchoring thing. The last time I was spritually dependent on somene God took them away rather forcefully, because I did not try to grow on my own at all. I let them do the growing for me. It's one thing to help each other grow in the faith, but don't anchor it on them. God is the only person worth anchoring your faith to. Remember that God is a jealous God.
If I've misinterpreted you, sorry. At the same point, if I haven't, please take this warning into consideration.

Berezi SaintChaos ive had other relationships but only 2 that were actually serious..and each i learned valuable lessons not only about myself but about relationships as well....but the loneliness can really get to me sometimes. my emotions screw me over sometimes -_-..i really...really hate that i can't control them fully...however the next day i feel refreshed after having a personal emotional outburst when im by myself. *sighs* i still hate it though....im just lucky to be introverted by nature, or the loneliness would REALLY get to me. You never have to be lonely. God is your eternal friend. Always remember that. God has filled every hole in my heart. Not to mention, God will only bring the one into your life when you're satisfied with God's love by itself if it's His will for you to be married. =)
excuse me if im blunt, but obviously a friend can not fulfill that of a lover. friends are friends...lovers are lovers...if i was content and satisfied with God being a friend and that being all i needed, i wouldnt even be talking in this thread right now.

Berezi To Saint Chaos: Perhaps what I should have said is that you shouldn't need another person to complete you. To Magister: Oh, so that's what you meant by anchoring. I do that as well. But I think I've learned that God is always the first one I should go to in a crisis. Others can provide comfort, but only God can really change the situation. Plus, God gives peace. People can't really do that. I'm glad you'll never let someone else grow for you. You're wiser than I was. =) But really, that kind of relationship where you can go to someone for anything takes years to build. You might find that person on the internet, you might not. But I can tell you one thing, I doubt you'll initally meet on the premise of seeing if an intimate relationship will work out. To both of you: everything I've said thus far has been my own convictions on love. I'm no expert. conviction surpasses knowledge on all fronts! for example prophesy, the Lord may convict you to say something will happen, it takes guts to make such a statement....unlike when thou knowest the answer, tis the uncertanty that shows where your faith is.........

True that.
But the thing is, that's what God's told me about love. I'm to wait for it. And that person is also to be called to be a missionary, preferably a medical one. Any other calling would get in the way of mine. No one that gets in the way of God's plan for me could possibly be the one.
Anyway, prophecy isn't just saying something will happen when God tells you to. It's also telling people things that God wants them to hear. Or at least, that's the predominant way that it's manifested in me.
And I suppose it takes guts to come right out and say what God's been telling me to say. Be patient. God has already given you the sense to know that the right one isn't in your life yet. Have faith that you'll know when the right one comes, whether she's on the internet or in person. And don't rush it.
