When I was young, I made a promise to my great grandmother I would not date until I turned 18 years old. It was not a promise coaxed out of me nor was it made lightly, even then I knew that dating can be dangerous for a young child/teen. I kept that oath Now, I'm twenty years old and haven't found a date. I wish to be a loving husband to the girl the Lord has picked out for me, and therefore, to this day, she hasn't not been found. There are good reasons for the Lord not to reveal her to me, if there wasn't, I believe he would have done so, even if he wishes for me to live his life solo. When she is found, I shall defender with my life, treat her like the Lord treats his bride, and to raise our children, if God blesses us with a child or two, in the ways of the Lord. I fear not death, neither disappointment, for I know that the Lord is with me in all that I do, and he knows what's best for me.
It's been two years...

I understand how you feel. In my twenties (I'm 34 now) I always wanted to find my soulmate, the woman I would honor, love and protect. I so desperately wanted to be loved that slowly I lost my trust in God and ignored my faith. This led me to many situations and relationships with women that were controlled by worldliness and their own desires as well as women that weren't really compatible to begin with. It led me to make many mistakes and many sins as I compromised my faith and convictions because I was addicted to wanting to falling love and to be loved. My advice to you is since you are young, take this time to grow in your faith and build amazing friendships. I'm married now and I must say that looking back I wouldn't be as prepared for it as I am now. I wasn't looking anymore like I used to. Then she just came into my life. The more you look the more you will chase the wind, wait patiently and it will come to you. God Bless

Not saying this is for you, but you may want to consider... I believe the end times are either upon us, or at the door. In an age where adults are rarely still celibate.... see verse 4 below.
Rev 14:1-5
1Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. 2And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps. 3And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. 4These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. 5No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.
