The other day I was thinking maybe the reason I am not a super genius. Is because God knows I would use my smarts for evil. Anything in your life have you wondered maybe you dont have it because God knows whats best. The one I question is women. All my life I have wondered why women dont tend to like me. I have had few like me. I wasnt interested in them. I have a thinking let God send one my way. Is that the right way to think? Or should I be willing to go out and find a girlfriend? I have a hard time trying to meet women.

deerhunter the right woman for you is out there some where, the best suggestion I can give you is to do as you should do with anything else in life and put it in Gods hands. Let God lead you, go to places you normally go to, do what you normally do, trust God, one day there will be a lady that with just a mere look will let you know that she is the right one, just keep God in the equation and all will be well.

It all depends where he goes to meet the right one!

Live Life in such a way that those who do not know Christ will come to know Him because they know you
Have you made a specific list of what you want and approached the Lord in prayer? He will lead and guide you as you express your wants and desires with him.
When I say make a list and take it to him in prayer, make sure your list would include what is really most important. You may want someone who has a great bust and or looks good to yourself and others, but that should really not be what you really want.
I would assume you would want someone who is attractive, but not overly so. Someone who is spiritual and who would have the same religious beliefs as you. Someone you share many (but not all) of the same interests you do. Someone who has specific talents that you feel you may not have, but that would help you to become a better person. You know the talents you have that may help her become a better person. Someone who sees your needs first (withou neglecting her own). You look to solve her needs without neglecting your own. Someone you can deal with in conflict. Don't be scared of it, it happens, just because you argue or disagree, doesn't mean its the wrong person.
The best places I know to meet women are: 1) church gatherings 2)bookstores or coffee shops. 3) University libraries. 4) Shopping malls 5)Blind dates-some say this is suicide, but I have set up three people who have been married for over 14 years. Although I didn't marry my wife from a blind date, I went on several that were really pretty good. Yes, there were few disasters, but they were not that bad. Besides, people pretty much know what type of person you are looking for.
The places to leave alone are: 1) Bars 2)The internet. Some can work, but most end in a travesty. People who shop here are usually looking for a quick fix and usually want nothing more than a one night stand
Focus on being the best person you can be and ask the Lord to help you make that your priority. Take your list to him in fervent prayer and ask for guidance and help and he will do so. Clean up your life if you need to. If there are sins you know you need to take care of, get help and get on the right path. You will be a more clean vessel for the Lord to commune with if you do so. He has difficulty in leading and guiding us when we are impure or do not desire to become more pure.
God Bless,
Porter.

Porter, My wife said today that you give some really good advise. . . . .I said "Liz, he's a Morman for crying out loud". She says " Read some of his replies on the threads like "God Made You This Way" So I did . . .and I have to say that you do give some pretty solid advise. Your a plus to the forum, and it's real noticable when were on these topics.

Alex said something that I thought I would expound on, some of the nicest guys I have ever known were very shy around women, when I was single more then once I was asked "Man, how do you always wind up with dates?".
The answer is very simple..... women are no different then men when it comes to striking up a conversation, the one way to NOT strike up a conversation with a nice woman is to try a "Pickup Line"! A woman with any decency will be offended by one. The way to strike up a conversation with a woman is EXACTLY the same way you would start one up with a man, use your ticker, think about where you all are, what is going on and say the same thing to her you would say to a man in the same situation.
Here are a few examples:
1. You are at a car show because you like cars... as a result 99% of ALL the people there like cars, both male and female, if you see a woman you find attractive looking at a particular car simply walk up beside her and say something like "Have you ever driven one of those?" or maybe even better (but only if it is the truth) "I had one of those and I loved it."
2. You are at a pot luck dinner and notice that a lady you find attractive has some thing on her plate that you do not have on yours, say something like "I have never tried salmon before, is it good?" or even better because this leads to her speaking to you again is "Would you mind telling me how the dressing is after you are done? I forgot to get some."
BTW There are some things you may want to avoid sayiing to a lady you find attractive, something like "That girl is beautiful!" would not be a good way to start a conversation![8D]
