One of my problems is that I want to be pursued (a lot of that has to do with me being traditonal, shy and having low self esteem) and then there's the whole not having any guy friends (I don't know if I relate to them) never having had a guy be legitimately interested in me and then there this whole other issue that I won't mention because I KNOW most people wouldn't/couldn't understand

If you are worrying about it then you probably are.
The thing I have found about being single is this..I always have plans to go out and people to go out with but they alwasy fall through....I dont mind it, lonely sure, but better alone enjoying MY time doing what I want then being unhappy out with a starnger/s, being uncomfortable....he/she will come along all in good time....all in good time.

Reps: 12,466 (power: 22) | | | Wow, Im glad im not the only one! I read the book wild at heart by john eldridge a while back and lately Ive found myself seeking exactly what the book says. I want to be a hero for a girl, the protector of that girl, incredible friends with that girl, someone that i can love and take care of. its pretty wierd how that book applied to my life. Also about being single, im still looking for a girl to date but I always tell people that i cant afford to date because of a recent purchase. So i would say that it keeps me out of trouble and away from what i did before i was a christian

Lately I've been learning that God is the only one that will rescue me from my fears. They are too big for me and will overtake me if i try to battle them on my own. I'm learning to place myself in trust with God that He will fight for me on this issue. So i'm single but not looking right now, just trusting that God knows what is best at this point in my life. |

I've been guilty of it myself. I think back now to all the girls who have flirted with me, tried to spark romantic interest, etc... and I was completely oblivious of it, languishing in this depressive mindset that I wasn't good enough for girls to like (Christian girls, not anything sleezy). Just keep in mind that there is no perfect person except Jesus (even though we all expect our soulmate to be perfect). Courtship and marriage is about finding somebody to help you grow as a person while you help them grow, and growth is painful. There'll be fights. There will be bad haircuts and pounds gained, money wasted and wrong choices made, but being with that "special someone" is about dealing with all the bad and enjoying all the good.
Johsua Harris's books on the subject, I Kissed Dating Goodbye and Boy Meets Girl are both good reads on the subject of dating, courtship, and marriage.  | | |
