I have a problem...

[SeaCrickets]

So I really, really, really would like a girl friend. But I am afraid. I use to have a horrible, disgusting addiction to pornography, but Jesus blessed me with his warm comfort. As I consider myself cured from that retched part of my life, how do I go about getting a girlfriend while keeping her flesh off of my mind? Its there. I cant lie. Jesus knows and he is helping me work on it. But Jesus is not always around when the earge is strong. Thats when he makes me fight for the light. So... how do I go about this. Do I just ask some girl if she wants to stay in a loud public place where my thoughts to not roam to far? Or what?

Most men, including myself, have struggled with lust or pornography at some point. It's more common than you might think; kudos to you for allowing God to help you through that. You have a wonderful and powerful testimony that the Lord can certainly use to help those struggling with the same thing.

Being out in a pubic place is definitely a great idea, especially for date nights and starting the relationship. Learn to follow Paul's advice and take your thoughts captive. Take it one day at a time and one thought as it comes. Over time God will teach you how to focus on the good and positive things He wants for us. It takes some time but it's certainly doable and you'll be one step closer to be the kind of man God wants you to be.
