3 Mistakes Single Men Make when dating

Where are all the good women? This is a common question many single Christian men ask. Many are frustrated with being overlooked or the fact that they feel it has been too hard to find a “quality woman of God.” They hear a lot of women claiming greatness, but it isn’t lining up with what they experience. Are Christian women the problem, or are these single Christian men overlooking their behavior that has contributed to the issue? let’s examine the few mistakes single Christian men make with relationships.

1.Not Embracing Celibacy For Yourself
There are a lot of men who love God, but they still struggle with engaging in sexual activity. When a man has already experienced s*x in his life, it can become his weakness. Celibacy should be embraced more by single Christian men…but they don’t see the benefit of it. It just goes against what many feel is in their nature, and living in such a sexually charged society doesn't make it any easier. Yet ask any man who found the strength to do it, and most (if not all) can point to increased productivity, efficiency, and a decrease in drama. s*x is a huge distraction for men, and the inability to overcome it leads into many issues and the delay/blocking of many blessings.
2. Hiding Out In the Church
Attending church and praising God is a beautiful thing. Being open to meeting a potential mate in church
makes perfect sense. Using church as a shield because you don't want to put yourself out there and be vulnerable, can and will likely work against you. Many single Christian women use spending an excess amount of time in church as a cover-up to the fear that dwells within. Church is their wall of protection, but just like other walls in their life, it can still block their blessings.
3. Demanding sex
Not all single Christian women are celibate. Some may be having sex to reel a man in, and in her mind,hopefully keep him. Some may be celibate to make a man prove his worthiness. Either of those reasons(and I acknowledge other reasons exist) will typically backfire in her face. Sex won't give her the relationship she needs, and it falls outside of where God wants her focus. Not having sex should be about her as a woman, and the desire not to have her judgment clouded.....Not to get attached to the wrong man, and not to confuse desire with love.
Stay focused on what God desires and not how it can cause a man to stick around or to walk away.
