FIVE SIGNS
YOU MAY BE DATING THE WRONG PERSON
It’s All About
Them
If
you’re dating someone who’s only interested in going where they want to go and
doing what they want to do without asking your opinion, you might be dating the
wrong person. A great sign is when the person you’re dating asks you what you
want to do, even if it’s not their thing. But, you may be dating the wrong
person if that person makes themselves the center of the universe and only does
what they want to do.
No Passion
for the Things of God
If
you’re dating someone and notice there is never any conversation about God or
Jesus or they’re not interested in church, reading and studying the Bible, or
prayer, that should bring up some red flags. Whoever says they have a hunger
for God will have a hunger for His Word and they’ll desire to talk with Him in
prayer. If all these things are absent, you might be dating the wrong person.
Never Shares
His or Her Faith
Have
you ever been with other Christians who have publicly shared their faith? Let
me tell you, it’s not an easy thing to do. But, if you’re dating someone who is
embarrassed to pray in public before a meal or never even speaks the name of
Jesus for fear of being overheard, there may be concerns about the person you’re
dating. For most Christians, they cannot help but speak about Jesus and God’s
amazing grace.
Doesn’t Like
Children or Pets
Children
have a very good sense about people. It seems they can see through hypocrisy
easier than adults can. Maybe that’s because their minds haven’t yet been
infiltrated with years of sin. Some would also say that about pets. I have
sometimes noticed that people who are generally kind and loving have a better
response from children and pets. One immediate concern about anyone you date is
if they don’t like to be around children or they don’t like to be around pets.
Whoever is harsh to children and/or animals is a person I’d think twice about
before dating. If you notice they lose their temper easily when they’re around
children or pets, I would be careful about dating such a person.
Substance
Abuse
I
know it’s legal to drink alcohol, but if you notice an ongoing pattern of
drinking during the day (especially before lunch or supper), you might have
someone who’s abusing alcohol. There are others who might be taking
prescription drugs, but these also can be abused. Anyone who’s taking legal or
illegal substances for the express purpose of impairing one’s judgment or being
in an altered state of mind is a person you shouldn’t date. Anyone you’re
dating with substance abuse problems may fool you into thinking, “Once we’re
married, I’ll stop this.” Don’t believe it. You’re taking a gigantic risk.
CONCLUSION
If
you’re considering dating someone or dating someone new, please think about
these signs which should tell you that you might be dating the wrong person,
especially if it’s someone who’s obsessed with themselves, someone who has no
hunger or thirst for the things of God, someone who’s silent about their faith,
someone who doesn’t like children or pets, and someone who’s abusing drugs or
alcohol.
May
God richly bless you,
