Singles,
How long have you been single? Do you enjoy it? What are the challenges?
Dating anyone? Wanting to date?
These are typical questions, I know. But, let us share.
Let us share our stories, journeys, struggles, desires, hopes, dreams regarding being single and maybe one day God sending us the other half.
Views on online dating? Is it ok, or should you just wait for God to drop 'them' in your lap?
What are your experiences with online dating?
Interracial dating? Do you date outside your race? Are you open to it?
(It is ok if you are not, everybody has a preference. Just remember to stay and be open to God too.)
Hoping this turns out to be a very good thread. 
Share, Share, Share.... |

Reps: 2,919,946,618,074,642,944 (power: 2,919,946,618,074,673) | | Hi ANM  Nice to meet you!
How long have you been single? Unmarried? My whole life - 33 years. Not in a serious relationship? Over 4 years.
Do you enjoy it? I enjoy some things about it (independence, quiet times, total control of the remote) and don't enjoy other things (loneliness, no one to talk to or do things with or share love with).
What are the challenges? See above.
Dating anyone? Nope.
Wanting to date? Very much so.
Views on online dating? Is it ok, or should you just wait for God to drop 'them' in your lap? It's fine as long as you're wise and careful, and keep it all in prayer just as you would do with someone offline.
What are your experiences with online dating? Some great, some terrible. It all depends on how discerning you are (getting mixed up with a lunatic or liar will obviously bring a miserable result). I've met plenty of genuine, nice, honest, wonderful people online. Case in point - CF
Interracial dating? Do you date outside your race? Are you open to it? No problem with it whatsoever. However, I doubt very much that I'll find someone of another race who shares my interests and lifestyle.

Thank you Vicky.....I can totally relate to liking the total control of remote..haha ...There are good things about being single, that is for sure..
Why don't you think another race would be able to share things you like? You don't think God is able to make that happen, I mean he is afterall, full of surprises..and NOTHING is impossible with him.
Are most of your friends married?  |

Oh absolutely, I know He could bring me someone of another race that would be a perfect match for me. I just don't think it's likely to happen. I like classical music, opera, literature, theater, history, science. It's hard to find ANYONE who's into that stuff, let alone someone of another race lol. If I met someone like that, I wouldn't care what color he was, I'd be trying to snatch him up.
I don't have any friends. (Note: my definition of "friend" is someone offline that you are close to, spend time with, confide in, etc)

Well, perhaps, it is hard for YOU to find them, but not God. Those are things that are God given likes and there just has to be someone in the world of billions of people who also likes classical music, opera, literature, etc..I do not see what is so 'unsual' about what you like at all or hard for God to match you up because of it.

Yes, I understand this. I have very few 'friends' myself. Actually, only two I would consider friends and neither are married. One is actually about to be married, but the other is not dating or married. |

Perhaps, slim, but not impossible. I really do not see it as slim cos God can do it. If you listen to 'man', then yeah it is impossible.
Yes, just trust in him.
Live by faith and not 'sight'. |
