Hey there life,
T'is a grand day outside with the sun's glowing warmth flowing through the window.

Preparing to Date
The primary benefit of dating is the opportunity to get to know someone new, to build a new friendship with a member of the opposite sex. This is important for developing self-confidence and social interaction skills as well as for learning respect for each other as persons of worth, value, and dignity. At the top of the list of potential dating pitfalls is the danger of becoming physically and emotionally involved too quickly at too deep a level, leading to inappropriate behaviour.
Healthy relationships should always begin at the spiritual and intellectual levels-the levels of purpose, motivation, interests, dreams, and personality.
You are ready to date when you don't need to.
You are ready to date when you have first learnt how to be single.
A truly single person is one who is complete physically, emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually without dependence upon anyone else.
If we do not love ourselves, it will be difficult for us to love others, or even to relate to them properly.
Successful singles find their personal identity and sense of wholeness within themselves and in their relationship with God. Because they are complete within themselves, only whole individuals are fully comfortable being alone. They can thrive and prosper whether or not they are involved in a relationship.
A whole person has a clear and solid faith. When we know what we believe and why we believe it, when we know what the Word of God says and are committed to obeying it, and when we have a good grasp of God's standards for our personal lives and we are determined to live by then, we are on our way to wholeness.
Get your spiritual roots firmly embedded in God now...
Work to develop yourself as a single person. Learn to be like Adam; get completely lost in God today. Become so comsumed by God that He will have to interrupt you to bring another person into your life. Think of singleness as a perfect opportunity for character development.
When you can be alone and enjoy it, you are a self-confident and self-aware person.
Look for her wherever the spirit of God is.
They key is to fix our attention on God's will, God's Word, and God's glory, and trust Him for the rest.
The best place to find a godly person is on the road to God's Kingdom.
Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Don't ever become so proccupied by who you want that you forget to be who you are.
