Dating World
Many single Christians make mistakes when dating. In an Instagram post, a young Christian social media influencer shares one of the greatest mistakes she has ever made while dating. Ashley Ardiano wanted to share her experience to give a piece of advice to the young single ones.
“A big mistake that I have made is… pursuing first,” she said.
Message for Christian girls
She then shared a verse to explain what God wanted us to do during our dating season.
“Promise me, O women of Jerusalem, not to awaken love until the time is right.” Song of Solomon 8:4 (NLT)
“If you are pursuing someone first, take a moment to ask yourself, ‘Am I awakening love’? Sometimes when we take the initiative and want to pursue it first, we are awakening love. We are trying to start something and it will not work out. It comes back to us to hurt us, hurt our feelings, and sometimes hurt our self-esteem because we are pursuing first.”
Single ladies, God wants us to pursue Him first.
“Allow yourself to be pursued, God has a man for you and he will pursue you.”

In her caption, Ashley also shared how her heart had been broken when she decided to pursue a guy in the past.
“Just my personal experiences, but whenever I have tried pursuing first or tried to start something with a guy who seems super amazing and godly, it still doesn’t work out! I ended up dealing with feelings of rejection and my self-esteem hurt. Because even though we know our worth in Christ, these experiences still sting a little bit! Trust God and wait on Him 🙂
Allow yourself to be pursued, sis.”
