I'm single because I like it. I like my alone time, I like being able to make my own decisions without having to consult anyone but God, and I like my independence. I kinda hope that I can just be on my own forever! Nothing bad happened to me to make me feel this way; I've put a lot of thought and prayer into it over the last five or six years. Remaining single for life is a big deal, since most Christians DO want to find someone. While I wanted boyfriends from time to time as a teenager, I've never really felt that innate desire to be married. Whenever I've pictured myself traveling, buying a house, even being old, I've always seen myself happy...and alone. I didn't try to picture it that way; that's just always how it would pop into my head.

I DO pray about staying open to whatever God wants in this matter. While I would prefer to be on my own, He might have other ideas. I hope He doesn't, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it! :D

the two females in life I really got close to, I learned to trust, I believed they were different from the others, I believed they were good people, we had many things in common (rare), I believed I would be with for life, I believed we had a strong, one-ina-a-million connection....lost interest in me and kicked me out to the side, never looking back.

I have allowed that to completely crush my soul, unfortunately, to the point where I can not get back up. Many people can get up, as hard as it is, but I can't. I'm weak, I'm down for the count, and it's over. RIP.

Where do i start , I am very picky which I know is worng ,but I just don't want to date anyone for the sake of having a BF . I have difficulty opening up to people and trusting people easily . It takes time for me be comfortable with someone and I am afraid that when if I do open up the person will not like me .

After 27 years, someone finally gave me a straight and honest answer as to why I'm single.

Apparently I'm a...what's a good word CF won't get angry at me for...probably "jerk." Apparently I'm a jerk, and am therefore single.

Awesome. If that's me, then I guess that's me since I don't know how to be someone I'm not. All I can say is, "Alright. I got you."

You know what? I posted maybe 2 or 3 times in this thread. I was sad before. Like "Oh, boo hoo. No one likes me. Forever alone"


You know why I am single? Because I am flipping awesome. God doesn't want me to end up with just anything. And I've thrown myself at a lot of anythings. I am due to have the best for me.

On top of that, I am actually enjoying being single right now. Sure it is nice to hold hands, kiss, take cutesy to someone, etc...But you know what is better? Being able to live life for God and for myself, without restraint.

That is why I am truly single. :)

should I even bother a post? I'm single because ... I haven't felt a great rush to marry. Life is pretty fluid. I change. No bad habits or life qualities or whatever I'm holding on to. girls treat me good, I treat them good. no problems there. I would say I have met some of the nicest christian girls. and I find life quite entertaining. people all seem running here and there. I have my dreams too, but they aren't in the way of running the race of life. life is pretty short anyway. I don't see much matter in whether I marry. I suppose I might if some nice girl asked me to. sure, why not? in some ways marriage is not one of the big things of life, in other ways it is. anyone want to get married? I suppose an essay contest might be a way to settle things up.
