I am really praying to God that He makes it possible for me to find a husband this year. I'm yearning for that blessing.

What does one do when they see people they are attracted to at church? I've seen two attractive single guys at church this year and in both cases have prayed that God make it possible for me to get to know them.

How does one best listen to God's voice and direction on dating issues?
 
Your church has only two attractive single guys? What does one do?
Find another church! :shade:

Attraction is normal. If we weren't attracted no one would get married.

Number one rule: give it time. Wait until you get to know them better. Try talking to them first. Maybe it will develop into liking, and then into love. Attraction comes and goes, but love lasts a lifetime.

Please excuse me while I ask , are you attracted to their looks or their heart ? Looks fade and money gets spent but , but to fall in love with ones heart towards God is the way to look for.a Mate ,,, I went for looks .FAILED . Went for money FAILED ! went for security .FAILED that one also ! Then I found a woman whose heart for God was a Complete turn on for me ! 18 yrs now ...seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness .and all will be added to you ,,,,,,Rev

Greetings @Noma Khabo

What Rev T.S. Perkins has said is very true.

Our flesh may seek after looks, wealth and popularity
But unless the Lord is the centre of the relationship it will be doomed to fail

Commit your will and your hopes for a husband to the Lord and ask His direction to a man who's heart is first and foremost centred upon Jesus
Ask Him to clearly close any doors that are not leading to the right person.
Be patient and await the Lord's timing

My beloved husband is nothing like the man I perhaps once 'thought' I would marry
But it is the most beautiful Jesus centred relationship and that is all that matters in any Christian marriage.

Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it
Psalm 127:1

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.
Be not wise in thine own eyes
Proverbs 3:5-7

Their advice is good, I just want to add something. There is no such thing as a soul mate, just like there is no such thing as destiny, or fate. This would mean that everything is predestined. If you believe in such things, you should throw away your believe in God of the Christians. The reason is because if it's predestined, your free will goes out the window, and it means you never had a choice to end up where you are now, be it ignoring God and following after what many would consider wrong paths, or following Him and going down what many would say being the right path, but the right path also doesn't mean colorful and beautiful rainbows and skittles falling out of the sky, first you have to think, does God even want you to be married? Or does He at this moment have something else for you to focus on? Just some food for thought.
 
I know you want to be active about finding a future spouse. There are many different ways to find a spouse. Each way has its own consequences. I suggest following the Lord's will and being obedient. Serve in the church and among the needy.
Those working the field that Ruth gleaned from noticed her, then Boaz noticed her while she was gathering food for her mother in law. He inquired about her and the women of the field had great things to say about her.
I think that is a pretty good example for a woman to find a spouse and a note to males is that they should be serving and looking for women serving.

Ruth 2
8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:
9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?
11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
12 The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
