Jesus said stay away from temptations. Why do you wanna put yourself in that situation?! Flee from evil. Not go to evil. Please ask God to forgive you for even thinking of this wicked thought. I'm praying for you.

It is great that you have identified the problem. Now you need to take the big step to start resolving those issues with God's help.
not in my opinion. of course I had to let God do the choosing rather than being obsessed about it myself.
One of the things that made a big difference for me was when I started seeing myself as being valuable rather than believing what others had said about me. Generally if you are not happy with who you are as a person you will not be happy with anyone and struggle with relationships.

or you could just be like me and not give a crap. If someone comes along then great! If not, oh well not like I was looking in the first place. There is much, much more to life than relationships (at least with folks outside familial relations)
I don't think God has some special person set aside for us to marry, I think that is just a fairy tale then young girls (and sometimes guys) get caught up in and then get disappointed when it doesn't come through.

If you stay here long enough you will see more flags than you can count, and probably have post deleted by flag carriers, I find more so called Christians here trying to get as close to the worlds standards, and yet try to maintian they are still Christians, you will find statistically 80% of posters on this forum do not even believe the bible and that shouldn't suprise you if you seen the statistic for how many Christians here have even read the entire bible, Its very sad!that is sex.. do whatever you like.. in the end.. you will feel that God has turned His back on you.. but, truthfully. it is you turning away.. there is no such thing as friends with benefits.. the fact that you even ask is evident of how serious you are about the christian faith.. so all i can tell you is that you have already decided.. are you now looking for approval.. like that is ever going to happen.. i don't say this often but isn't it time that you grew up i have had two flags that have told me that this may not be an actual christian site.. you are the second.. the first was a thread that was stopped because it offended homosexuals.. ya like thats the Heaven i am focused on.. there is no such thing a liberal christianity.. that is called churchianity..and that neverbrought anyone out of the darkness.. i'll say a prayer

Quite simply, it's not recommended, it will just wind up hurting you both. God loves you still, but this is not a wise course of action.

you ask not so you shall recieve not. what does God say on the subject....."Its not good for man to be alone" I will make him a helper comparable to him"........If God did it for Adam, He could do it for you, I had such an impossible list of criteria for a man at the age I met my wife. and confirmation after confirmation told me this was the one He brought to me........and He can do it for you too!....but you have to ask

Because to some people, it's like sticking your finger in the icing of the cake, without eating the entire cake.
Get what I mean? But we all know inevitably, you'll sit down with a fork and demolish it. Can't go back after that!

This verse is translated with two variations.
1 Cor 7:1 7 Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry.
NIV
Footnote
1 Cor 7:1 Or "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman." NIV
The other sense is:
1 Cor 7:1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman. NASU
1 Cor 7:1 Now I will discuss the things you wrote me about. It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman. NCV
My preference is for the second reading, teaching that if there is some issues with physical intimacy then it's best to get married. A 'friend with benefits' would not come under that consideration. Sex and marriage are to go together.

well i had a date today with a girl that wants to marry. While the idea turns me off a bit, its kinda the path you have to take in life.
tall, blonde, blue eyes, slender
probably not a bad choice either

wait, you JUST met her, and she wants to get married?...
I've had the cake. It's not enjoyable when it's being eaten ill-intentioned.

she wants to get married, to whoever, and I agreed to dating her
a natural thing for a woman to want... she doesn't know how to work it yet though. I don't know everything about women either

honestly, in my experience, dating someone because you want to get married is a bad idea. i want to get married too. i was flippin engaged up until last week.
you "agreed to dating her". that sounds like you "agreed to go on a picnic". perhaps you should just date her for a while and see if you even like her as a person... then think about marriage. sometimes when we get into that desperate "need to get married" mindset, we make a lot of compromises and settle for things that we wouldn't otherwise settle for.
just some friendly advice!
