I have never had a girlfriend.

Postby **roadoffew** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:16 pm

sorry but I'm just really board. It is true by the way.

I guess this can become a thread for guys like me or something.

Me either. But its all in God's timing. For Him all times are soon. Keep trusting in Him and He will provide.

Postby **roadoffew** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:21 pm

That's true. also he never gives you the big things till you can take care of the small things.

For me, I think He's giving me more time to mature more as a person and also in my faith before that even comes into the equation. God wants us to trust in Him for all things and draw closer to Him before anything else. A relationship built on Jesus as the foundation is a solid one.

Then go get one. X3

Just remeber, if you think dating or having a girlfriend will make you feel comeplete, you're wrong. Only God can do that.

ive never had a girlfriend either! and dont plan to!

but ive never had a boyfriend either.

Postby **Myoti** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:27 pm

I can't afford one either... in more ways than one. >_>

Technically, I've never had one. There was this one black girl when I was little and I've considered trying with a few girls recently, but honestly...

I'm too shy, too poor, and still kinda young to be trying anything "serious" anyways.

Postby **roadoffew** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:30 pm

Here's a good question. How does one know if it's God's plan for you to get married or stay single?

Postby **chibiphonebooth** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:32 pm

*shurgs* thats a good question.

i guess when your 87 and sitting on a bench by yourself, THEN you'll know! XD

Here's a good question. How does one know if it's God's plan for you to get married or stay single?

The same way you know if anything is of God. Pray. Read the scriptures. Ask your trusted Christian friends/mentors. I don't mean that in a cliche way, but I believe God wants us to know, at least in part, His will for us (I'm not saying anyone can ever know the full will of God. Like Aslan, God isn't "tame").

I have no magic formula for it, but it seems to me that the God I know wouldn't place dreams of family and desires for marriage in someone destined to be single. Doesn't that seem cruel to you? And Christ wants our best.

Postby **Warrior 4 Jesus** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:38 pm

Some people want to be single, others don't. Very few people are called by God to be single, but I think He would only do that to those who wouldn't have a problem with it. We don't know God's plan in this, but I think its all to do with just trusting Him always in everything we say and do.
I think God will give you a hint if he wants you to stay single or get married! (lol)

Postby **roadoffew** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:40 pm

Well this is certainly becoming an interesting disscussion.

new question: How do you keep from confusing puppy love or just admiration with true love?

Postby **Yeshua-Knight** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:52 pm

i would say that when you are willing to wait, when you are more concerned with the other's well being rather than whether or not you are with that person, that is the sacrificial nature of love

Postby **roadoffew** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:53 pm

just case anyone is wondering, none of these questions are for me.

Postby **chibiphonebooth** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:54 pm

LOL..getting defensive, eh? XD

lol just kidding! :p

Postby **Warrior 4 Jesus** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:58 pm

True love is possibly when you love the person and can accept them for who they are. Faults and all.
But like I said, what would I know? I've never had the experience.

Postby **roadoffew** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:59 pm

I honestly want a girl who loves God more than me.

Postby **Warrior 4 Jesus** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 9:00 pm

Same here, but that's not a strange thing. Being grounded in your faith in Jesus is a must on my list.

Postby **Yeshua-Knight** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 9:43 pm

well, keep in mind it is entirely possible to feel unconditional love for an other without that being someone that you want to be your future spouse, a parent (at least in most cases) loves their child unconditionally, and that love is given back by the child (at least under normal circumstances), and it can also be said for the relationship between siblings and very close friends

I work with a fellow who has Down's Syndrome, and he is honestly quite a character. He claims to have "hundreds of 'girlfriends'", ranging in age from old ladies to teenagers. In all honesty, I think he's actually talking about "friends of the female variety" though I'm not sure whether he understands the difference between the two terms. Either way, it's kind of cute. ^_^

Therefore, I could say the same thing: I have hundreds of "girl friends"! :lol:

...But I've never had a girlfriend. -_- Maybe someday, if it's in the Lord's will.

[Edit: By the way, what is a serious thread like this one doing in Goof Off? ^_^; ]

Postby **heero yuy 95** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 9:53 pm

Hey, I don't have one either, which is totally bogus considering that I'm a Christian and I drive an El Camino. lol, jk. Nah, I'v never had a gf either. It's nothing to be ashmed of. I'm willing to wait for god's timing. Besides, I'm cool with just being friends with the girls i know. It's cool to see you guys share the same beliefs on this topic as i.

I think this answers enough good questions that it should be promoted, so moved to General.

you know, that avatar just isn't working for you. (pm me about it)

Heres another silly, hypethetical question. If you had a crush on a girl but stoped having it because she wasn't saved, but then she got saved: would it be okay to have a crush again? (remember these questions don't reflect me, I swear)

Postby **Dante** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 10:56 pm

I confess... I have never had a girlfriend... But then again I'm a physics major, are girlfriends forbidden to physicists? There have always been other reasons for this (the girls in my classes have always been much older than me) and because I have no time, and there is the subtle fact that being a college student elliminates all time and money, and consequently girls in general

.

On the flip side I do have many girls whom I consider friends

. In that manner I suppose we share a platonic love of knowlege discussing philosophy, history, mathematics, science and anything else acedemic.

Later,
Pascal

well for me it's great that no girl has ever taken interest in me. I hardly keep my mind on my school work as it is. Like i said, God is not going to give you big things until you can handle the little things

I have never had a girlfriend.

I have never had a girlfriend.
