Answered by: CCM Magazine on September 27, 2007 10:37AM EST You don't need a boyfriend. God really wants you to seek Him in your single years. Spend this time becoming more intimate with Christ.

Answered by: Allie Edinger on September 27, 2007 12:51PM EST I am 23 years old almost 24 and I have never had a boyfriend. Yeah I want one. But I am waiting on Gods timing. Even though thats hard to do sometimes. God has the perfect person for you.

Answered by: Josh DeJong on September 27, 2007 12:59PM EST I agree with CCM Magazine. You don't need a boyfriend. You need to wait for the guy to come along as God will change you and make you into the woman of God He wants you to be. Listen to Wait For Me by Rebecca St James and you will know what waiting for the right guy is all about. Rebecca St James is still waiting for the right guy in her life but God still has changed and shown her amazing things when she is single. So stay single then God will bring the right guy on His timing. Just pray to God about the right guy and he will come when God wants him to come and it won't be right away.

Answered by: Music is my Life on October 1, 2007 8:29AM EST I try to get a boyfriend but, nothing seems to work. I don't want to act to flirty and disobey God's word. So what should I do?

Answered by: Mapachito13 on October 1, 2007 2:02PM EST You don't need to rush it. I was in your shoes once. I never had a serious girlfriend all through high school. I had tons of friends that were girls but no one who was my girlfriend. I didn't meet the woman of my dreams, my soulmate, until I was 29 years old - a longer time than most. I had had a few relationships before then but those that I sought in deperation just to have a girlfriend felt empty after awhile. When I stopped looking and left it in God's hands, that is when I found her and now, I have been married to my beautiful wife for 12 years and I regret rushing into those other relationships. My point is that God does have someone special for you. You may meet him tomorrow or not for some time but be willing to exercise some patience. In the meantime, read not only the Bible but get some books on Christian dating and on Christian marriage, because the only purpose of dating is to find your spouse and it good to be prepared. I have read many books on Christian marriage AFTER my wife and I were married. I wish I had read them before (it would have saved me from a lot of mistakes) but then no one told me to do this. It seems, that in our society, marriage is something that you "wing it". People do more research on buying their new car than on finding and keeping a life-long spouse. If you leave it up to God to find you your boyfriend, you are guaranteed to save yourself a lot of disappointment.

Answered by: Lisa Nicole on October 3, 2007 8:41AM EST This world is a funny place. It's difficult to find someone that is on your "wave length" especially when Christians are becoming more and more rare. God may have a plan, but I suspect we are supposed to execute that plan. He is the Father watching over the playground and if there is trouble He will observe to see how well His children work things out using all of His rules and guidelines. I have never seen God make it His place to interfere... He is far too much a gentleman. However, I have seen Him perform miracles on too many occasions to think He doesn't at least try to give us a nudge in the right direction. Here is a recommendation that might help quell those growing feelings that it is "time to have a guy in my life". (Because when you assume the responsibility of a partner *at any age* you are bringing something into your life and that's a big responsibility.): 1. Make a list of who you want him to be. Go for everything. The best of anything you can think of. 2. Now spend the next month watching the boys at your school, camp, church, and the mall wherever they happen to be and make notes on qualities that are on your list. 3. Make a mental note of the top 3 candidates and watch them for another month and see how they fare against your list. 4. By now you must have seen that there is no such person as the boy on your list. In fact they probably aren't even close lol. Now it is time to change the list. 5. Start narrowing things down. Pick qualities you must have in order for something substantial to take place. (Remember that you are only 15 and so are the boys :P So it's really like you are 15 and they are 9!! lol) - qualities like kindness, honesty and patience are virtues you may be interested in. 6. Now that you have a list that seems more manageable... it's time to make another list. This is a list of all of the things that YOU can offer a boyfriend. Squeeze out everything you believe is appropriate to give the man you are looking for. 7. Now it's time for some research. God wants you to be with the right man for the rest of your life. It's important that you learn how to look at boys and what they are looking for. Asking guys straight out is an option. The internet may have blogs or forums that ask the question "What's a teenage boy looking for in a teenage girl"? But beware of the answers… many guys are not as sweet as they look. Some are… but many aren’t. So those are 7 steps that might help you open your mind to what you might be getting into. But remember, the world is in a state of collapse. It's getting close to the time when Father WILL interfere... and because of that, some of us Christians may end up without boyfriends or husbands. We'll be too busy trying to help people find the Way. But that is all right. Nothing wrong with that, it's our function to help people. A boyfriend is really only a small aspect of this life. Gratitude for what you have will truly bring you peace of mind. Walking in the appreciation of Jesus’ love is as close to heaven as you can get on this world. At least, that’s my belief, anyway. Peace Lisa Nicole

Answered by: Lindsay Scranton on October 4, 2007 10:15AM EST Not so random addition: In the Bible, Paul said it was better not to be married. He was single. He loved it. Not every person will get married. Yes, marriage is a wonderful thing that so many people want to enjoy. However, God never promised us that we would get married.

Answered by: Savannah Sanders on October 5, 2007 7:33PM EST i pretty much argee with everyone else. but of course everyone's different.

Answered by: Kenidra Myers on October 10, 2007 4:40PM EST I just prayed for you and God gave me this passage of Scipture for you to read: 1 Corithians 7:32-34 (NLT) 32 I want you to be free from the concerns of this life. An unmarried man can spend his time doing the Lord's work and thinking how to please Him. 33 But a married man has to think about His earthly responsiblilities and how to please His wife. 34 His interests are divided. In the same way, a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be devoted to the Lord and holy in body and in spirit. But a married woman has to think about her earthly responsibities and how to please her husband.

Answered by: Kimi on October 13, 2007 12:52AM EST Just reminding that everything has its own time and It is always beautiful in its time. So..You need not to force yourself, just wait and be patient.

Answered by: Gretchen Holman on October 13, 2007 9:18PM EST I'm 15 as well, and let me tell you, you don't need a boyfriend! Just keep your focus on God until he brings the right guy into you life! I went out with a guy last year, and even though it was a christian, our relationship totally ruined my relationship with God. And being single has kept me more than happy =)

Answered by: freakgirl on October 16, 2007 2:44PM EST Are you prepared for marriage like right now? If you say no then like some have already said you don't need a boyfriend. You are 15 so focus on your relationship with God and in His time and if is His will he will bring the "him" into your life. For now you need to just wait and grow in the Lord. I am 26 years old and I have never dated and I am still waiting and the best part is I'm still breathing without a guy in my life. In His time not ours.

Answered by: Ashley on October 17, 2007 10:19AM EST You are so young. you dont need to stress about having a boyfriend. if you try to find someone that God doesnt want you to have then you arent going to be happy at all! so just be patient.
