Looking for inspiration: how to find a girlfriend

[LPTSTR]

Hello.


I have been searching for girlfriend (with intention to get married as soon as we both agree that we are made for each other) for over 2 years. I have bachelors degree in Computer Science and this year will start Software Engineering masters. So as you can see I might not be most interesting guy to date with. I need you suggestions with finding girlfriend. I know girls from churches which I attend or which youth nights I have gone to. The thing is that most of girls I know already have boyfriend and those who don't doesn't seem to be interested in me. I am looking for your advise on how to to find one? The thing is that in my university probably 1 out of 200 is a Christian. And I wouldn't be going to clubs and bubs because that's not the place where you can find Christians. Therefore I am looking for suggestions on where to go and what to say.

Does you university have a Christian group? Many seem to. Or how about Christian internet dating?I know many who met that way.
Are the churches you go to involved in things for the community that you can volunteer for? Good way to meet people.

No it doesnt. Only way to figure out who are Christians would be to attend all churches to see who's attending it and who's not. Official statistics say that on  my country 77% are non-believers (And many of this 22% is so called sunday christians). I dont know what to think about Christian dating sites. I tried few but didn't find many. Most sites have 10 or less people from my country in total. People seem to love face-to-face dating more than online dating.

Are the churches you go to involved in things for the community that you can volunteer for?

such as? When semester starts, they go and introduce themselves to students.

God Almighty bless you young man, for seemly having a godly desire to find a godly woman. I have nine grandsons, two of which are desiring a young woman, and others right behind them, not to mention my granddaughters desiring the same, but the girls have two to three more years, I would think. I will pray for you and I am sure others will do likewise. I would only say this.........do not sell yourself short, be patience, and make a list of what you desire your wife to be using the scriptures as your guide, and trust God that he will not withhold your desire, as you rule your daily life to please him in word and deed, and he will not disappoint you. He is gracious, full of mercy, love for those that wait upon him.

Doesnt your country have its own dating sites? I met my husband on one and I know about 7 other Christian couples who met on line, but it can take time so dont go there for 2 months and give up thinking it doesnt work. Apparently 1/3rd of all couples now meet on line, and in my country (the UK) with such a small percentage being Christians, its often the only way for us to meet anyone.

It has only one, but it impossible to tell whether or not someone is Christian. The other bad thing is that this site is more for those who just want they're lusts and desires for sex to be satisfied. When it asks your intention, it even allows you to check "sex" and "one-night stand" which doesnt look like very Christian oriented site. An other downside of that site is that girls often post there photos where very little of them is covered with clothes so by the end of day my sin count would be 4 digit lol.

What do you mean by "godly desire"?

I would assume you knew based upon your OP. Or, I am wrong? You said:

You need to answer your own question.

Oh, I didnt see that as godly,  for me it's normal requirements....  I wouldn't take nonbeliever because then it can happen that we both leave the narrow path or if not it could happen that when I start to talk about God she's like "Ahhh again you start talking about your God". And if she is only sunday christian then she would she wouldn't go to church out of love but because she feels she has to...

Maybe because my first language wasnt english I didnt think of it...

So, are ungodly, non-believers in the narrow path?

Hi LPTSTER,
I read your post on the prayer thread but by the time I responded pfffffft you were gone.
I have no advice for your situation, but just wanted to point out that God knows exactly what you need and He will provide that. Even if you are not aware of exactly everything you do need. We know His timing is perfect also, so she will be in your life exactly when it's the best time. All you have to do, if you've prayed for the one He chooses, is keep your eyes open to the possibilities.
Another thing that might be the case is, He might be holding you up because it's not time yet to have you meet the person for which you are being prepared, in order to answer her prayers. He's got two of you to prepare for the match He makes.
It will work, just maybe not exactly when you'd like. He gives the best gifts. Have faith and patience.
Blessings.

I don't think he is implying non believers are on narrow path.
