I never dated and I always felt like the odd one. Growing up when all my friends were falling in and out of 'love' I remained single and some of my friends are getting married now and I still am single.
If you can befriend someone a little older than yourself it helps. Their life perspective is more seasoned and less influenced by fanciful emotions. I used to mentor women in these situations and in two instances I worked with someone already involved.
The best way to determine whom you should befriend or confide in is to listen to how they speak about their companion. You want someone who is loving and respectful who doesn’t expose her partner to ridicule or scorn when she’s upset.
If her character seems pleasant confirm the matter in prayer. Friends are well meaning but only God knows what’s best for each. You may find yourself preferring the company of someone who is more discerning in his connections.
The ebb and flow of heartbreak takes its toll and many are jaded by it. And since you’ve been spared from that another like yourself may be a good fit.
Your post brought a smile to my face. There are many men like yourself on this site. You have demonstrated that our difference needn’t be an impediment to companionship. There’s another perfectly suited for our circumstances.
I do get along with people older than me but I never considered this connectioned.
I do not feel left back for this or like I am missing out.
And forgive me but I wonder what you mean by there are men like me?
Did you date or do you do it now?
Do you have a problem with it?
