Onto your question, Frank......
I would do it in the long run, but I would go through stages of doing almost anything to have a girlfriend (but wouldn't succeed), even if it wasn't God's timing, but I wouldn't be stupid enough to marry because I'm lonely, at least I don't think so. How do I know this? I'm doing it now bro! But it's all a matter of knowing what God's plan is. Am I single because God wants me to be, because I'm too shy, because I ruined a relationship God had for me, or the partner God does have for me is stubbornly refusing God's request (MENTAL NOTE: I must keep on the lookout for girls I know crying and muttering "God, no, anything but that" in the future  )?
But singleness does get me down sometimes, is it bothering you Frank? |

I think I would find it very depressing, because any hope that I would have of finding someone would be gone. However God's Will shall always be done, so at that point it is out of our hands.

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | loneliness does get me sometimes, it get me good but when it gets me... I start wondering who God has for me. Im telling you, I pray so hard for this because I want this girl to be so perfect for me. Only God can do that. He knows me and understands me out and in. its up to Him to pick. but sometimes I do get tempted to take the shot myself. im also way shy... lol. well thats enough chattering from me. laterz

Until Mr. Right appears on my doorstep (or in my inbox, or calls on the phone, etc.), it looks like I have no choice in the matter!
Then again, I've gotten rather used to singlehood. I'm not sure if I could live with someone else anymore. |  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | | | |
