Admin	how do ya know its time to give up???? Posted : 13 Jul, 2011 10:30 AM I am sooo frusterated...thought this might be the thing to do in this technical age we are in...online dating...searching for a new guy friend, maybe a date or two and possible future husband. I find this almost frusterating as doing nothing! I am glad for this site. I am starting to wonder, maybe I should just give it up. How do you know when to give up? Heck, if any reader was going to do that, you might not be reading this right?:ROFL: BUT seriously, dating or well, honestly, finding a date is like finding a needle in a hay stack. At least for me it is. Not sure why. Any suggestions? Thanks, Michelle Post Reply

Posted : 19 Jul, 2011 02:18 PM I understand your frustration, but as in everything about the Lord, it is always in his time and not our own. The question is, do you feel he lead you here? If so, then there is your answer. If not then, theres were you should seek him for what his will is. i can sense a bit of yerning deeply for that special one. I use to feel that way. That desire to be married use to control me. Now that I have learned about being equally yoked and waiting upon him for his perfect, and also am able to see and understand how awesome a true marriage in him will be. It all now guides me peace for his perfect will in his perfect time. Now i am not controlled by the desire...its just a desire. Blessings, David Post Reply
teach_ib View Profile History	how do ya know its time to give up???? Posted : 21 Jul, 2011 08:22 PM I can relate. It's one of those mysteries. I pray for wisdom and discernment...for the right mate or the ability to accept my singleness. I don't consider that being double minded...if God decides I am to stay single, then I need to be able to accept it. Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Keep praying...and searching. Post Reply
View Profile History	how do ya know its time to give up???? Posted : 24 Jul, 2011 08:10 PM I suppose I'm lucky, having never had a girlfriend so I don't really know what I'm missing, so to speak. It would be nice, but I'm not going to worry myself over it because God is bigger than that, and if he wants me to meet the right girl someday he can make it happen in his timing and his way. Until/unless that happens, I'm going to do my best to put the "sing" in "single" and appreciate the freedom of time to myself, my interests, etc and see what else God has for me in life. One way to look at it is to be running as fast as you can toward God and maybe take a look around to see who else is running near you. A perspective that might help also is that time on earth is temporary, and heaven is so much better than anything we can imagine. We won't want or need spouses then, because we will be in constant full communion with God himself. There is no marriage in heaven, except for each of us to Christ. Live as best you can, looking forward to that, and everything of this world (even marriage) pales woefully in comparison. Post Reply

Posted : 20 Aug, 2011 05:30 PM It is time to give up when you are ready to look God straight in the face and say, "Lord, I can't do this even with Your help", I don't mean to sound calloused but that is what the answer is. There is NOTHING impossible with the Lord and saying something is impossible is saying God is not big enough for this problem. You may however choose to say, "Lord I'm sorry but I don't want to continue this anymore and I am choosing to end this struggle". If you ever doubt what God wants read His word. That is how He talks to us, not through dreams, not through feelings we get durring praise songs or prayer, when we pray we are talking to Him, when we read His word, that is how He is talking to us. And though it was written before we were born, God has already said everything He will ever need to say in the Bible. I am not judging anyone who has fallen or strayed, I am only answering the question, and I promise you I have not always lived my answer out. God's love to you all, and His blessings. Post Reply
View Profile History	how do ya know its time to give up???? Posted : 24 Aug, 2011 12:55 PM I know how you feel...After doing the online dating thing for the last 3 years I have had lots of dates and met some really cool things. But what I realize I am missing in my life is just getting out and meeting people. So though I am keeping this profile up...I am going to start living my life full out and will meet the woman of my dreams while living life. Online dating does work but it is frustrating. When I joined this site I though, wow, Christian women, imagine that. So you send out a few emails, ya know, to other sisters in Christ...no response...honestly, I have found that women that are NOT Christians on sites like PlentyofFish.com to have more courtesy than on this site...

View Profile History	how do ya know its time to give up???? Posted : 30 Aug, 2011 03:35 PM It is frustrating tring to meet a future spouse Online. However, the dating is easy. I am not online to just date. I have met men in person from all over Illinois and from more than one other States. Unfortunately, no one I would really want to court for a future marriage. Just because you meet in person does not mean that person is for your future mate. Do not waste time, move on. And as far as talking on the computer for Months on end, forget that. LOL Unless, you live out of the Country and I have a block on that. LOL Most men online are on more than One datesite. And, are talking to many women at same time. To my experiences even on Christian Mingle. Where I was before here. Best Wishes Post Reply
