If you know of a person who is very godly and you are both passionate about the same things...you see life in the same way and you are both called to similer things. Your mom really likes the person and has hinted more than once that the person is a possiblity...you both like to do the same things...as far as activitys. A friend has said that you and that person would compliment eachother...what would you do at this point? Lets say maybe at first you weren't very open to the idea of getting serious with this person but God has changed you and you see them in a very diffrent way...you could totaly acomplish a lot together and unless you just didn't click it really would be a good thing. What would you do and when do you think God would reveal that this is the person if they are the right one. Is it possible that he would just be introducing the idea of that person into your life but have you wait a bit. I'm sorry this is long but like it said i only want serious people. Thank you!

Some of the best relationships are based on friendship. Hint to him that you might be interested, and take it slow. Dating shoudn't be any different than the things you already do with eachother. Don't take it sexual unless you are sure you would want to be with him for awhile. That way sex doesn't ruin your friendship if it just doesn't work as a couple thing. You can still be great friends.

I admire you for placing your faith at the forefront when choosing someone to date. I was the opposite. It just seemed insignificant at the time, and my husband and I really "lucked into" the fact that we both eventually became serious about our faith. My point is that a lot of people don't realize how important it is to have shared values until it's too late. (I'm not saying that those relationships can't work, but they're harder!) Plus, I don't see any downside since you say have similar interests. Go for it, and see if you are meant to be together. Good luck.

Don't do it!
In 1Corinthians 7:8, St. Paul says, "I say to the unmarried, and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I."
But if ya just gotta have some, then go ahead and marry. For in the next verse he says, "But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt."
Just make sure that if you do get married, you don't get burnt anyway.
Some questions to ask yourself:
Can you picture yourself with this person for the rest of your life?
Are you both satisfied with each of your financial situations, and can you both support a marriage financially?
Have you done all you would like to with your life as a single person? Have you travelled? Have you seen the world? Have you seen the country? Have you been outside of your own county?
Have you known this person for at least six months?
Have you prayed about it? Have you talked about it?
If the answer to at least two of these questions is "No", then slow down, relax, and think and talk and pray some more.
Peace be with you.

uh... just because your friend and mom think hes a good guy doesnt mean that you have to do anything with him but be his friend... you cant go on your whole life dating people that you dont "click" with. it would just be pointless and eventually leave you in a dark and lonely place............ by the way.. im not a serious person.. but i can still give out serious advice.. =] hope i helped
