You say that you know God doesn't want you to be celibate. Give me the chapter and verse of Scripture you use to back that up. I challenge you to study 1 Cor 6:12-20. That Scripture discusses sexual purity and very clearly sets forth God's standards on the subject.

No, I don't think so in fact my brother is the same age and has never dated. But he says the same thing and I always say when you do find your special someone it will be worth the wait. Thanks for sharing God Bless

Be not anxious!

I'm 22 male Never dated anyone Am I missing out? When I got save I had no problem of not dating but know I feel like a need someone. I believe I have matured enough in my work with God. I've been prayin for like a year know. I'm starting to be desperate what must I do?

Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

There is a reason that this verse is in the scriptures, although God has blessed us with beautiful feelings, He desires us to be obedient which is difficult living in a world where sin lives and the father of sin, satan.

God through Christ Jesus knows you, He designed you like psalm 139 shares. The question is, what are you hearing and from whom? Now take it to His Word and measure it, if you wish to know if patience is written in His Word, well lets check;
Psalm 37:7
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Psalm 40:1
I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.
1 Corinthians 13:4
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
Bottom line, if you truly desire His Love in a relationship, even in dating, allow Him to guide you, remember abraham and isaac, they were guided and found loved ones, yet they weren't perfect, but Gods approval is there.
If you truly know Jesus from your heart and have a personal relationship with Him, His Spirit will guide you, if not, that is where you need to begin, with accepting Jesus, but I understood you did.

I've had several boyfriends in the past. And I've regretted each and every one. I still haven't forgiven myself. As of right now, I'm waiting on God's timing. I'm twenty, so I have plenty of time

Hi, you are not missing out on anything. Stay the course... God blesses those who obey His word

Let me chime in with some thoughts. Now this may or may not apply to you. But I am 41-43 years old (I can't remember), but I've been down this road before and I know how frustrating it can be for someone as young as 22 (or younger/older).

I've never had a "date" until about my late 30s early 40s. But I've had plenty of crushes since then. The one crush that I still remember came when I finally did start dating. I thought she was the one. At the time I was working, had money, a car, etc. She also had a strong belief in God, as we often talked about the Lord.

However, something lingered in the back of my mind whenever I was with her...the desire to "go for it" and "steal a kiss". Plenty of opportunites, but I never did.

Now I've heard all the arguments "wait for the right one" "wait for the right moment", "God will bring them into your life, etc." But you know, Christians so often miss when God speaks to them. I'm sorry, as I know this is going against what many preach.

We have to remember how the communication between God and David was...David was always asking either "Should I?" or "Now Lord?" And most of the time God would answer "Not now", rarely would He answer "Yes, Now!"

All the scriptures that everyone has posted are good, and for the most part, I agree with them. But let us remember that God doesn't want a timid Christian. God wants us to go out with boldness.

All I am saying is: Conqueror, if the Lord has put someone in your path, and she is a Christian, and is in your heart, then by all means, go for it...ask her out on a date.

Otherwise, you will always be stuck with a "what if...?" and that's not something that you want to deal with the rest of your life, especially if she is the right one after all.

If she's not the right one, then you will definitely know it even before the first date. Above all though, get to know the person you are considering first through small talk. Then ask her on a date.

melforgod you are not missing out on anything but head and heartache. Keep waiting on God to give you someone, if you are looking, if not keep living a life holy and acceptable to God. He will keep and sustain you if you let him. How can you miss out on something that you have never tried.

 

[dami]

I want you to know that God has a reason for delaying certain things.
Just relax and believe God for the right person.

Do all you can to develop yourself so that you can attract the God-kind of girl.

Do all you can to develop yourself so that you can attract the God-kind of girl.

Dami has hit on the answer here. I learned years ago that romantic relationships do not heal an individual's problems. In fact, they might add to the problems. As I once heard at an AA meeting, "If you don't like yourself when you're alone, you won't like yourself when you're with someone."

Try to relax

Dating can be kind of uncomfortable. Lots of times it is a performance based activity rather than getting to know one another. I would be careful with the desperation. From personal experience when you are desperate you may fall in to the wrong girl and get hurt in the long run. I think all of us would love to just meet that special some one right away but it dose not always work like that. If you have an urge to start dating then go for it. It is good that you are praying and I am sure God will answer. The thing is the love of your life is not going to end up on your door step. If you have someone in mind or have feelings about someone you will have to take that risky step to make it happen. Just pray to God that he will lead you to the right one. Remember sometimes what you want is not always what he wants.
