Essential questions for dating

Do you sell yourself short when you meet new People?
Do you put on clothes you feel uncomfortable wearing just because you think you should look a certain way?
Do you expect too much from others or from yourself?
What is your primary goal in dating and romance?
If a date doesn't go as planned, do you want to give up on love altogether.

Make the Most of Your Singleness

Ask Around.
Talk to your married friends and find out what they miss most about being single. Is it girls' nights out? Is it the time to take a photography class? Take advantage of these opportunities now so you'll have no regrets later.
Make a List.
What do you want to accomplish in life-write a book? Travel to Italy? Participate in a short-term missions trip? Write all this down on a master list, then pick one thing and go for it. Don't let waiting for a husband put your life on hold.
Pray.
Ecclesiastes 3 tells us there are specific purposes for certain seasons of life. Ask God what unique things he wants you to do or learn in this single season. Obedience to these things will draw you closer to him and make for an exciting ride.
Invest in Others.
Since you're not focusing a majority of your relational energy into a husband right now, you've got a lot to give. There are Sunday school classes, refugee families, and weary neighbors who could be eternally blessed by your involvement in their lives. And the joy you'll receive in return will help chase away those lonely days.
Get Going.
There's a lot to see and do in this big world and now's your best chance to take it all in. A road trip with friends is always a bonding experience. And it's never too late for a family vacation. Enrich your life by broadening its boundaries. (You never know whom you may meet along the way!)
