Good Question!.......the answer to your question is located in ( 2 Cor. 6: 14)...it would be more beneficial and more Blessings from GOD if we connect with those who share the same interest in the Lord!....Being on one one accord, we are not to be Unequally yoked with Unbelievers!........ps you know the old saying....birds of a feather flock together...so to speak!.....

I have decided to date only men who are "saved" and have a good relationship with the Lord. If he knows the lord then he will treat you right, respect you and not pressure you into things that you don't want to.
Also get someone that is on the same knowledge level as you are, as unequally yoked does not only mean the one person is saved and the other isn't. You want someone that you can have a great conversation with. That's my idea anyways.

My first proprity is: would I be seen in public with this guy. lets face it, many guys don't shower regualrly, or brush their teeth or shave regualrly, and many of them don't even change their clothes every day.
My second priority is :whether we can get along morally. If the guy is constantly quoting scripture, he is a definite no with me, as is a guy who isn't a high school grad. I have to be able to hold an intelligent conversation with him.
After that, is he good looking or not.

The sad truth of the matter is all men want the same thing when they are looking for a date.
They want to take Mother Theresa home to meet their parents.
A good looking bomb shell to show off to their friends.
A down to earth girl that enjoys cheap dates.
And a prostitute at the end of the evening.

For me, I want to know that the person is just a good person, meaning he tries to treat others well, respect himself, and wants to just be the best man he can. There's a lot after that, but that is a deal breaker.

1st make sure they are saved, serving god, grounded in a church, maybe involved w/church ministries, faithful tither, faithful to god, faithful in church, speaks & lives a godly life, exampleship, has a job.
remember: if 1 is saved & other person isn't in church/of the world: the bible says beware not to be unequally yolked. means light/dark don't go, black/white, stripes/checkers don't go.
then after you think you've found a right person, you need to seek god, for god's perfect will to be done & not your permissive will, pray & fast.
god will show you his perfect will for dating that person. when u do this, prepare yourself for an answer from god. it's best to be in god's perfect will then to be out of god's will.
you'll reap consequences if it's not from god.
trust me, i've gone thru this 13 yrs ago.
god showed me in 3 dreams that my husband now was hand picked from god. i've had people pray for me & prophesy over me about the godly relationship, & that's confirmation from god.
remember too: the enemy/satan is out there to steal, kill & destroy your life. he can also place the opposite sex in front of u 2 make u believe it's from god.
satan will do everything in his power to ruin god's destiny he has for your life, including spouse/date.
talking from experience & now i'm pastoring a church w/my husband. see this was god's perfect will for our lives.... ask & ye shall receive.
take all pray petitions before the lord & he'll answer them, all in his time. don't go b/4 god in your plans, just wait patiently on him.

If she is a Christian. What denomination.
That is the first 2 things for me. Nothing else matters.
If we don't see the first 2 together, why continue on?

What does wisdom say? Do we want to date a female or male because of good looks or is it because she or he is saved?
For those of you who are not saved you may only be caring about good looks.
BUT,
for the saved, it should be dating according to the will of the Lord.

1. They have to believe and have faith in God.
2. They have to respect my morals and beliefs.
3. They have to be a good person who treats me nicely.
Hope this helps!
