A brief conversation my wife and I had one morning inspired these Christian dating tips for women. We were talking about some of the reasons ladies experience delays in meeting the "right person" and getting married.
We wondered why some singles ladies who are good looking, educated and doing well in their career who desire to get married, find themselves in a position where they are getting to the age of what is considered as a mature single and there are still no marriage prospects.
We discovered that for some of these ladies it's not that nobody is approaching them, its just that the brothers approaching them aren't "their type" or it might be a case where when they were younger (say in their early 20's) they had a few guys approaching them but didn't feel any of them were "their type" and as they have gotten older they haven't had as many guys approaching them or interested.
The reoccurring theme seemed to be this "he isn't my type" issue, meaning maybe he isn't your ideal in terms of looks or whatever other qualities you are looking for in an ideal man. But is this "he isn't my type attitude" causing women to miss out on potentially good guys? is this attitude causing some women to shot themselves in the foot and cause their own delay?
I once heard a teaching about seasons of relationships, the teacher said that there is a season where you will get a lot of people interested in dating or courting you, and that season is usually between the age of late teens to mid 20's. The teacher said that if you commit to a guy during this season, the chances of delay in marriage are slim, but if you miss this season then you might have to wait for the next season which could be years and by that time things will be tougher because there wont be as many men to choose from. Hence delay in marriage.
We concluded that it's possible that some ladies are unknowingly allowing their "not my type attitude" to make them miss their prime season. There is nothing wrong with having standards but be flexible with those standards. You might have a lot of guys approaching you at the moment and think you can afford to be picky but bare in mind that the seasons will eventually change.
My wife confessed to me that when she first met me that I wasn't really "her type" but she was open and gave me a shot, she got to know me and I guess I eventually evolved into her type because we are married with a beautiful daughter today. Had she not given me a chance because I wasn't her type, maybe she might still be single today wondering why she is getting older but God isn't bringing her "Mr Right" but the fault wouldn't have been with God because God would have sent "Mr Right" but he would have come and gone without her knowing it because he didn't come in the package she expected.
So here are some Christian dating tips for women to reiterate the points I've made so far so that you don't miss out on a potentially good guy and so that you don't by your own hands delay your season of marriage:
* Be flexible with "your type"
* The guy might not come in the package you expect
* He might not look like your kind of guy
* Learn to be flexible and give him a chance, remember that I wasn't initially my wife's type.
* At least give him a chance and try and build a friendship and get to know him - once you get to know him you might discover that he is "your type" after all
* Being flexible doesn't mean you are lowering your standards, it just means you are trying other options you wouldn't normally have considered.
* Being more open and less picky which will improve your chances of finding true love.
As a lady I believe that if you follow these Christian dating tips the chances of you experiencing delay in marriage will be lower.
On a final note, I must say that never leave out the God factor and always listen out for the voice of the holy spirit and what your heart is telling you to do. When you allow God to guide your decisions you can never go wrong.
