Only God could have pre ordained their relationship because not many people would stay with someone with a mood disorder and he takes her at her very best and at her very worst: only God could make something like that work.


This hit me like a ton of bricks.... :cry:

I'm a christian male. I'm focusing on being the right person and letting God take care of the rest. Because I have Asperger's, I can't do it myself.

Well, if God meant made someone just for me, He better get crackin on bringing her into my life, because given that it's going to take a few years after meeting her to fall in love with her, and even more to further decide if she's "the one"... I don't have that much time left. And since I'm so busy doing His work, I don't exactly have time for myself, and the time I do have is spent getting my college degree...

There are times I could fall in love at first sight, but alas, it just doesn't happen with me...

I was at one point very much faithful to the idea of a God of some type, I think even then I had a really hard time believing there was only one. Especially in watching how God treats some of his best - I could see how we'e be in *huge* trouble when any guy or any girl could meet their one 'soulmate' and just as easily strike out with them as they would with anyone else. It seems like it comes down to shared value and shared vision, and even if your a bit esoteric they're out there - they may be that rare that it really sucks but they're there, in earthly quantities likely a couple hundred thousand or even a couple tens or hundreds of millions greater than just one.

I am a Christian, saved by God's grace. Sometimes I am amazed that he saved me, since I am so doubtful and unsure a lot of the time. Perhaps he reached me at the best time, when I was very young and trusting him was simple and obvious.

I have a lot to learn about social skills and making friends, but I would love to have a girlfriend and maybe a wife someday. I'm trying to be patient and trust God about that, too.

I don't believe that the idea that there's just one "perfect" person out there for me has to come along with belief in God. I believe that God knows everything, so he knows who I will marry if I do, but he also knows what I'm going to have for lunch today, and there's not just one "perfect" answer to that. The fact is that there are no "perfect" people. Hopefully, there is more than one woman out there that I could be a good husband to (and she could be a good wife). I don't have to worry that I'll miss my one and only chance.

Amen. I'm just going to focus on being the right person, just like Boaz, and God will bring someone into my life.

but as for me - i am about 70% evangelical lutheran and 30% SBC(S-outhern B-aptist C-onvention) - but i am also working on going to asheville, nc so i can take lessons on reading other peoples emotions, body language, non-verbal cues, etc. i believe God is leading me down this path so i can maybe meet a female aspie/autie that is not a gold digger, d!ck size queen, etc that is shallow in my book. i would like an aspie/autie woman or one with downs syndrome(because i have also heard that women with ASDs can be just as shallow as NT women, and women with downs syndrome are very loving and affectionate, as well as very accepting of other people dispite their defects, and have no expections in the areas of money, house, possessitions, and d!ck size) as well as also being an epileptic who will see right through my defences and fall in love with the real me inside. i would like one like that because too many women today put money, property, house, possessitions, [removed by lau] above all else and do not really care about the guy himself. if [removed by lau] - i could get any woman easily - but they as a rule do not want guys with any imperfections at all - much less ASDs or epilepsy (i have both) - and many of todays women do not want guys [removed by lau] so what else can i do - other than leaving that part of the equation in the Lords hands?

I'm Catholic. I am looking for a Catholic girl
who likes movies and has an interest in
the communication industry/language translation.

I am Lutheran, LCMS to be exact (sore subject) and sadly there seems to be so few Christians, let alone Christian Concervatives anymore, let alone people on here. I think a major reason behind this is misinterpretation, misunderstanding, and ill concieved ideas about Christianity because people just have "ideas" about what it is rather than actually reading the Bible.

On a personal note, at this point I am not particularly interested in dating (but I might be eventually) which seems strange to this hormonally driven culture. Trying to tell people that I'm not constantly thinking about boys, dating, etc is like trying to talk to wall it feels like. It gets annoying trying to explain that I don't want to go around "hooking up" with guys or that I believe in no "funny stuff" before marriage. Sometimes it really irks me and I start lecturing people about it even! >_<

i use to be a LCMS lutheran - but i went through the ''dunk tank'' because my local LCMS church does NOT offer a sunday school / bible study class for people with developmental disabilities and the local ELCA does not have one either.

but first baptist church, here in hendersonville, nc - DOES have a class for people with developmental disabilities like ASD, epilepsy, MR, downs syndrome, etc. it is called ''special friends''. that class accepts me and LOVES me very much just as i am and without any need to mold myself into something or someone i know i am not (and do not want to be).

I'm a sane, devout christian woman. And yes, I'm only interested in "the one"....I hope I find him. :(
I say sane because I don't think the world is 10000 years old, and I believe in marijuana being good...But I'm still christian. I've got a personal relationship with God...Even though I'm fail at it.

Part 2:

Right now, I am concerned with finishing my studies.

Do I believe in God? Yes.

I go to church every Sunday
and assist with the offertory.

Am I interested in dating? Yes, and will go insane if I don't find
someone to date.
