Spacefox, patience is a virtue. I once was in the same place you are now in the dating scene.
The best advice I can give is pray about it and wait for God to do his wondrous work. When I was dating I first was in it for the looks. I wasn't in a walk with the Lord where I should have been, but was a beleiver and was from a good loving Christian family who went to church but never found one that was a home church. So I saw lots of available girls but never had the chance to get to know any one of them. One day I was so tierd of worrying about who I was going to marry in the future that I gave it up to God.
I prayed asking when the day came to get married he would send me a Christian gal that believed as I did. Well God dose work in mysterious ways. Come one day before sophomore homecoming I asked my future wife, who was some one I never really had known before, to the dance. She promptly told me NO!
Taken back and kind of hurt, I said thanks any way and talk to you later. Not but a week later I get this note from her out of the blue, to which I have to this day. In that note she told me her feelings and that she had been thinking of my offer and would like to know if we could go out some time. I have to say I am not sure what I felt at that time but, YIPPEE.
Unknown to me at that point that she was a young woman founded in Christ and had a home church that soon I would consider my home church. She has helped me in my walk with the lord in more ways than I can count. I soon became baptized and my walk with the lord started on the right foot for a change.
Well after three years High School was coming to an end and I was off to Coast Guard Basic Training. I broke it off with her to save her the heartbreak from a long distance relation ship. Well on my home coming from boot camp we hung out, she actually cam to my graduation to see me. Soon I was off to my first unit. One day I came back home for a visit, and found my self spending time with her again. Soon I was holding hands again and soon telling her I loved her again. All this happening and not really thinking about it. Soon I was looking at rings and preparing the speech.
I soon proposed to her, some 6 years later of that fateful note, most of which we dated. She of course said yes. We have now been married for three wonderful years. Looking back I can see that my prayer was answered. I now have a better walk with the lord, and a deep respect and love for my wife. I have reviled the ghost in my closet to her and she is still with me supporting me even more than before. I can not imagine being with any one else, or even single for that matter.
So the moral of this long story is spaceghost hang in there, pray and ask God for a wife that believes as you do and will be some one that you can spend a lifetime with. He answers prayers with out you knowing it. I know he answered mine. Best of luck, and be patient, your day is coming.
God Bless
