Brie, It’s wonderful that you have a heart to do what God wants you to do.
It’s hard to give a good answer to your question without knowing your age.
If you are too young to get married, then my advice to you is to hang out in groups and to be friends with the boy, but to avoid pairing off with him in a one-on-one dating relationship. Guard your heart and your purity for your future husband. I know that most girls start to date when they are in their early teens, but I would encourage you to wait.
My second comment is that the pattern you start in a dating relationship will set the tone for the rest of the relationship. So if you want to be married to a man who will be the spiritual leader in your home, he has to begin to demonstrate that leadership from the start.
I suggest you read some of Leslie Ludy’s books on Authentic Beauty, Set Apart Femininity, and Answering the Guy Questions — they’ll help you think about what dating relationships are all about.

I want to honor God in any dating relationship that I may get into. I like this boy right now who is very sweet and loves God. Is it not in God’s plan for me to “move things along” at all? I feel like I should wait for him to start a relationship for sure, but is it wrong for me to try to plan times to hang out, or to text him and stuff?
Thanks for your help
