May I step in? I read your topic/post. And everyone elses post. I'd like to start by saying that I understand where you're coming from. I've met alot of girls outside the church that I could see myself married to. While when I would goto YSA Institute, everytime I felt left out cause afterwards. Everyone talks to one another like crazy. But I'm left out as if I'm invisable to them. I talk to them but they just say: "Yeah ok" and turn to another. While outside the church like online for example. People talk to me and it's easy to make friends. But as far as those outside church, I bet everyone out there. Even some inside of church. Has something you disagree with. Like from your example. Not everyone's into artwork. Everyone has different interests. Some may be the same as yours. But everyone has something going on. Something about people outside the church, you can never tell who's really nice & who's pulling a act to use you. BUT, at same time. When you find someone outside the church that you see yourself wanting to marry. Remember, taking things slow and learning what they're like. Is better then rushing into it and it turns out they WERE acting and it be too late. But same time, remember the phrase: "Feild is white and ready to harvest." Anytime you get the chance to share the gospal, pray first. And have faith. Dout not, fear not. Who knows, one of these guys might be searching for the gospal. You could help them find it. Goodluck. Hope I helped.
