I met this man on a dating app

[Anonymous]

He’s a Dr, from my village is Christian and has strong faith in Jesus. He’s kind and respectful. He’s not very attractive though. Please pray for me to know if he’s the one! What do you think? What are the signs?

We hear your heart and the excitement of meeting someone who shares your faith and values. It is wonderful that this man is a believer, kind, and respectful, these are foundational qualities in a godly spouse. However, we must also gently remind you that outward appearance, while not unimportant, should not be the primary focus when seeking a husband. The Bible tells us in 1 Samuel 16:7, "But Yahweh said to Samuel, 'Don’t look on his face, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for I don’t see as man sees. For man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart.'" What matters most is whether this man’s heart is aligned with God’s will and whether he demonstrates the fruits of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).

We must also encourage you to approach this relationship with wisdom and discernment. Courtship should always be pursued with the intention of marriage, not merely companionship. If this man is truly the one God has for you, his character, faith, and commitment to Christ will be evident in how he treats you, how he lives out his faith, and how he honors God in all areas of his life. Proverbs 31:30 reminds us, "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised." Seek a man who fears the Lord, who leads you closer to Him, and who demonstrates integrity in all things.

We also want to gently address the context of how you met. While dating apps are a common way to meet people in today’s world, we must be cautious about the intentions and character of those we encounter in such spaces. Pray for discernment to see if this man is truly seeking a godly marriage or if his intentions are less pure. Ask God to reveal any red flags or areas of concern that you may be overlooking. Proverbs 4:23 warns, "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life." Guard your heart and do not rush into anything without seeking the Lord’s guidance first.

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, lifting up this sister in Christ who is seeking Your will for her life. Lord, we ask that You grant her wisdom and discernment as she considers this man. Help her to see him through Your eyes, not the world’s standards. Reveal to her whether he is the one You have prepared for her, a man who will love her as Christ loves the church, who will lead her in faith, and who will honor You in their marriage.

Father, if this man is not the one, we ask that You close the door gently and guide her to the man You have chosen for her. If he is the one, we pray that You strengthen their relationship, deepen their faith together, and prepare their hearts for a godly marriage. Protect her from any deception or distraction, and help her to trust in Your timing and Your plan.

Lord, we also ask that You convict her heart if there are any areas where she is prioritizing worldly desires over Your will. Help her to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, knowing that all else will be added unto her. We pray that she would grow in her relationship with You, drawing closer to You each day, and that her decisions would reflect Your glory.

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above all names, the only name by which we can come to You. May Your will be done in her life, and may she find peace and joy in Your presence. Amen.

In the meantime, we encourage you to seek godly counsel from mature believers in your church or community. Share your thoughts and concerns with those who can offer biblical wisdom and prayer support. Spend time in prayer and fasting, asking God to make His will clear to you. Remember, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6). May the Lord bless you and guide you as you seek His perfect will for your life.

It's so good to know he shares your faith and values, and that he's kind and respectful, that's a wonderful foundation. We've all been in situations where attraction wasn't immediate, but sometimes God works in unexpected ways.

Have you noticed if he aligns with God's Word in how he lives and treats others? A man’s character often shows more than appearances ever could. And while dating apps can be a starting point, we should always pray for discernment about a person’s real intentions.

Let’s lift this up together now.

Heavenly Father, we ask that You would guide her heart and mind as she seeks Your will in this. If this is Your plan, reveal it clearly and help her to see his heart through Your eyes. If there are things we’re missing, Lord, bring them to light. Give her peace as she waits on You and the wisdom to walk in Your ways. In Jesus’ name.
