AmethystHeart Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 So I'm 20. I'm a very conservative Christian - and I only really want a relationship with other Christians, silly as that sound to some people - and I'm a gamer. I enjoy card games, role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons, computer games, Japanese animation, l33t speak, Star Wars, and anything with dragons on it. I'm slightly overweight, and kinda pretty but nothing dazzling. ...am I just, like, destined to never find a boyfriend? I feel like I'm shooting for the world's smallest guy demographic - Christian but understanding/sharing my hobbies... *shrugs* I dunno. I'm trusting God to provide either my perfect match at some point down the line, or to give me peace about being single. But right now it's frustrating to look into what seems like a bleak future.

Kevin T Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Sounds cliche, but really: Trust God and He will not let you down. Aim high and watch what He'll do! Stop expecting a bleak future and start expecting God to do as He promised. The guys whom you describe are out there! You just have to find them. Why not start looking at church? Or school, maybe? The internet is always an option, is it not? And remember, if God was able to make a suitable mate for Adam, He can surely do the same for you. Link to comment
AwdreeHpburn Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hey - my husband's a "gamer" too and I've dabbled - for him. It IS fun. And I gotta say, there are some very interesting people who play. Very smart - usually - and creative people. I think you're sure to meet someone. Just keep playing. You'll meet someone with your same beliefs.... Link to comment
Kevin T Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Exactly. That's very true. When I was engaged, I was able to get my fiancee interested in video games. She never had much interest in them until I started talking a little about them. Slowly she developed an interest and before long, she was more hooked than I was! If you love someone, then you will want to share their interests. So just because someone doesn't have that interest when you first meet them doesn't mean they can't acquire an interest. They definitely can! Focus more on finding someone with the same faith as you (shouldn't be THAT hard, I know many Christians myself), and you'll do fine. Link to comment
renaissancewoman101 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 My ex was a gamer, although I never got into gaming. He was very smart, intelligent and VERY artistic. I met some interesting and strange people through him. Don't worry, there are lots of people who are gamers out there and there probably will be some who are religious as well. Good luck!

I Love a Canadian Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Amethyst, I want you to know that I know of a Christian Gamer-type of person who seeks Christian relationships as well in his life. I would not presume to speak for him, of course, but I speak of him just to let you know that there ARE men out there that seek what you do. Link to comment
AmethystHeart Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 *giggles* possibly pass on my email to the lad? ^_^ at the very least it would be nice to have someone to commiserate with - my best friends here at school are gamers, but they're not interested in relationships, don't even like talking about them... my email's email removed Link to comment
I Love a Canadian Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Well, as I said dear, I would not presume to speak for him. I cannot make any promises. Link to comment
AmethystHeart Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 lol, didn't mean to be forward. if it makes you uncomfortable, never mind, and i apologize for making it seem that way. It is heartening to know there are similar guys out there - just very hard to find! ^_^ Link to comment
John Smith Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Trusting in God is only part of it. "God helps those who help themselves" I don't know how may times I've heard that, but you can't just pray and wait. He will help, but you have to try too. Maybe He is testing how long you will keep faith in Him. Don't let your frustration grow to much. Pray about it. Don't worry about anyting. He'll take care of everything. Link to comment
TheRedQueen Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 ...am I just, like, destined to never find a boyfriend?

forza2 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I would actually love to find a gamer girl, but so far I've had no luck. I'm not Christian either. Link to comment

Yes, trusting God and doing nothing it is obviously pointless. But God never "tests" anyone, so it's more a matter of HAVING the faith in order for anything to happen. Having faith and not acting on it is not faith at all. One deludes themself if they say they have faith yet never act on what they profess. Link to comment
Kevin T Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 What country do you live in?!?!? Everywhere I turn there are Christians. And RedQueen, where are you? L.A. right? Man, maybe I should move! lol (Well, as long as they're hot anyway.) Link to comment
TheRedQueen Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Just found a great forum for you, link removed It's for Christian gamers, good luck!!!! Link to comment
bigredvick Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 there is someone for everyone.find someone who loves you for you and you love him for him. if you go for someone just because they share your interest it doesnt mean that they'll share your heart. Link to comment
