I want to seek out god and put him first in my life, so I decided to go to a college group at my local church. I don't have any christian friends so one reason I'm going is in the hopes of making some. However the main reason I'm going is to hopefully find a girl who is right for me. I'm 21 and I'm in a phase in my life where I'm attracted to almost every girl I see who's around my age. I'm afraid that I care about looks way too much though. I can't help but to only notice pretty girls and I don't know if I will even be able to see if the girl of my dreams is right in front of me because I'm blinded by only caring about looks. It's so important to me that it probably sickens people. I'm cringing as I say this but how do I change that? and should I change that? Is this a bad reason to go? I can't help it, I really really like girls, and god must have put this on my heart for a reason right?

Hello NB408.
Nice to see someone who is honest and upfront about their motives.
No doubt you will receive excellent advice, though you may need to be patient.
No need to cringe NB408, what you are feeling is very normal for your age group.

It is better to marry than to burn with lust. But it is also better to marry another christian, so looking for a woman in an environment where she is more likely to be a christian is a good thing. Just make sure that you dont stop with fellowship and growth in the Lord when the Lord blesses you with success.

Greetings in the Lord Jesus;
Best to seek Him first; and all else will be added to you.
Maybe try first to serve a BIG G God, instead of a little g god; Know Him first, and allow Him to show you who you are IN Him.
When God gives you a woman, she will be the right woman, and both will compliment one another.
Or you can do it like everyone else and seek her out for yourself and get yourself in a big mess and probably fall away from God, even try to blame God; when it was all you.
All praise, honor, and glory be to God.

True, God can arrange a divine appointment and put the desire in your heart to go somewhere at the right time to meet your soulmate.
A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9
You can trust God to find your perfect match because he knows you better than you know yourself and he loves you more than you know.
Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Matthew 10:29-30
Going to church to find a girlfriend is a good place to find one. Perhaps try and date a few of the most pretty girls, get to see their personalities, and see what happens, and make sure you have fun (the safe and God-fearing kind of fun, not the other kinds). Don't worry about being blinded by looks, you will find the girl of your dreams to be more attractive than anyone else, and you should only marry the girl who makes you go "wow", because you need to wake up every morning and see the same face day after day. Do you think that God's choice is always an ugly girl? You think God wants you to have an ugly girl and the pretty ones are from Satan? ha ha ha young people make me laugh.
