How to get a date.

How to get a date? Honestly, I’ve been thinking about this a lot. During the month of February, it’s hard not to wonder. It can be hard not to look for a crush or the one. It’s a little hard to admit but that’s what I’ve been doing a lot lately without even realizing it. Well throughout this last month God has been really showing me why it wasn’t working. It’s not because I was desperate… Okay but actually that’s probably a big factor. I was spending a lot of time and energy on looking for the right guy. I never stopped to ask if I was the right girl? I never asked if I was the kind of person I’d want to date? Now before I go any farther you’re probably thinking like I was right off the bat. “Well of course I am! I’m Amazing! I’ve done this, this, and that!”
As awesome as you may be on the outside who are you when no one is looking? We all have things about ourselves we need to work on. Things God wants us to work on.
The big take away from this is: we need to stop trying to find the one and focus on becoming the best versions of ourselves. It took God having two or three different people share practically the same message in different ways for me to realize. “Hey, God is trying to tell you something! Pay attention smarty!”
So I’m not hunting or seeking. But instead, I’m becoming the person I’m looking for, is looking for. If that makes sense. If I’ve learned anything from my first relationship it’s that being in a relationship especially one that doesn’t honor God (or only mostly honors God) can be distracting. So during the time when you are single is a good time to prepare for the battles and temptations you may have to face while you are dating.
Now is the time to focus on growing in yourself and your relationship with God. I found this post on Instagram and I just love it. It says: “Run as fast as you can toward God and if someone keeps up introduce yourself.” Not ask them out just introduce yourself.
So how do you get a date? Work on growing who you are as a person and when the time is right God will let the person he has for you step in and introduce themselves. The key isn’t to look for a date the key is to become the BEST you. Because the more you develop your character, your integrity, and who you are the more attractive you become!
