How do you know who God wants you to be with (dating). I pray and pray that God reveal to me if it is His will for me to date this person or that person. I never know for sure..though. How can I tell if He is speaking to me? The bible says to let peace be your umpire. So does God maybe take my peace away to let me know..'dont do this'?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
How do you know?

The way I see it as long as you continue to pray about it, everything will be made clear.
I've been with my bf for 5 years. And every night I pray that Christ leads the two of us to where we should be. We have gotten in fights before, and have been close to breaking up, but thus far have always stayed together, and I do think that that is Christ's doing.
Continue to pray about it, and everything will be made clear.
One more tip. At your age, you should not dwell on that sort of thing. I've been where you are, and I know that high school relationships are often times more pain than anything else. Concentrate on what is important--building your spiritual life with Christ.
God Bless.

Bless your heart.
The key is not "should I or should I not."
The real question is "will you keep yourself holy and put your obedience to God above ALL things."
Right now, in your life, God wants you to think clearly and to keep his commands. The bible says that "obedience is better than sacrifice." In other words, God is watching for you to obey Him in all things.
It could be that "obedience" for you right now is to not date anyone and just focus on him for a while. But if your flesh is crying out to be with someone, you will have to pray and maybe even skip "ONE" meal for the purpose of prayer so you can ask the Lord to search your heart and give you some direction.
I believe and have NO DOUBT that if you seek the Lord and his will, he will not let you down or leave you without an answer. You just have to ask yourself if you are willing to hear what he has to say. That's the scary part. Obedience.
Hope this helps.

Here is the absolute truth.
God doesn't pick out one man and say, that is the only man that is going to make whisper_dishmon happy, and unless they find each other, they will never be happy or at peace.
The truth is, God will set an amazing number of men before you, some who are good, godly men and some who are scoundrels, jerks, whiners, losers or worse, and let YOU make the decision of which one you want. In order to find the one that's right for you, you need to know what characteristics to look for in a husband. Talk to as many married women as you possibly can, ask them what made them marry their husbands, and what they wish they had known/done/talked about before they got engaged. Make a list of those things and the things you would like your husband to be, then, when you find the man that has all those things and loves you with an unyielding love, that is the man you should marry.
