Number one, they're looking for "the one." When they get in that mindset, it keeps them from meeting lots of different people that may have attributes or aspects to their personality and character and spiritual lives that that they need and would love, but never would be open to because of this type they have in their head. ![]() There are a number of things wrong with that. People tend to look at dating sort of like a safari-like they're trying to land the trophy. What do you mean when you say dating should not just be about marriage? Cloud recently spoke with Beliefnet about common mistakes people make when they're dating, whether God has a role in singles' dating lives, and the kind of values Jesus would want people to look for in a mate.

Instead of searching for "the one," Cloud encourages his readers to develop a plan to meet and date as many people as possible.
