A twenty year old woman who is on fire is too much heat for an 'older man'! Or at least so I'm told!
Seriously, though, you should make up your own mind. Your words indicate that you are not ready to marry yet. It's probably due to the fact that you have not met the right man yet. Don't rush it. Don't let the matchmakers plan your life. We make enough mistakes on our own, we don't need others making more for us. Advice is cheap only to the one giving it because he doesn't have to pay for it.

Danielle,
Welcome!

How do YOU judge good association?

My good friends tell me the truth, not what I want to hear....It would be too easy to label them as jealous, hypocrites, whatever.

But believe me, just like in your cong. there are good people and not so good people. You are the only one capable of drawing that line...

Feeling unworthy is nothing new for many of us. That your mistakes cause you pain is a sign that you are a moral man. That’s a good thing. However, sometimes in our anguish we turn upon ourselves and inflict great harm upon ourselves in an effort to chastise, punish ourselves for what we have done or failed to do. That too is a natural reaction but if this goes too far it can result in our self annihilation and this is, of course, self-defeating. In Isa 55:7 are words that can bring us comfort: “ Let the wicked man leave his way, and the harmful man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, who will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for he will forgive in a large way.”
God forgives ‘in a large way’. God is far more forgiving than man, even more so than we are of ourselves.
Ps. 55:22 gives us this assurance: “Throw your burden upon Jehovah himself,And he himself will sustain you. Never will he allow the righteous one to totter.”
The problem is that it’s so hard for us to turn our burden loose. We tend to want to hold on to it. This is the human part of us, the part of us that dwells in the shadow of doubt, away from the light and warmth of faith.
You do your part and confess your sins to God. Let him do his job which is to extend forgiveness to his repentant children.
Ps 34:18 “Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; And those who are crushed in spirit he saves.”
Ps 51:17 “The sacrifices to God are a broken spirit; A heart broken and crushed, O God, you will not despise.”
Don’t stay by yourself…seek out some company tonight…we want to see you again, brother.

Danielle,

My advice to you in reference to marriage - DATE, DATE, DATE, AND DATE again. I think first getting to know yourself, they dating as many people as you can to know what you REALLY enjoy. And I'm not talking about sex, but good healthy dating. I know tons of unhappy married JW couples. I think they are unhappy, because they were forced to marry the first person that they thought they liked.

Happy to be Free

Danielle,

I did not say anything about necking or petting. I said dating, as in eating a meal together, going to a movie, taking a stroll through a park.

And how in the H E double hockey sticks am I stumbling you.

Happy to be Free

P.S. you are so funny.

Welcome! I don't really want to label anyone as good or bad anymore. Since I left the wtbts 8 years ago, I try to look at everyone objectionably. There are many people on this board I would share my heart and soul with, I value them that much. Then there are others who I couldn't drink a cup of coffee with(not you JAVA:))
BTW if you can't stand the thought of necking. You are in for a BIG suprise on your wedding night:)

Danielle,

You are not FOR REAL? Are you? Well I have been on alot of non-sexual dates. But, I guess each person, know what they can handle. I just find it not necessary to neck or whatever you mentioned, to enjoy the company of the opposite sex.

And if you are FOR REAL. You are TOO FUNNY.

Happy to be Free (Me)

P.S. I'm not to keen on the FDS advice, it has been known to cause great pain, even fatalities.
