I am a 23 year old Christian guy. Being quiet, shy, timid, etc has plagued me throughout my life. Therefore, I’ve never been able to talk to girls that I’ve liked and so I’ve never been on a single date or even held hands with a girl before.
I’d like to have a family but it just doesn’t seem possible. Whenever I see young families out and about it makes me sad. Whenever I hear of friends my age getting married and stuff it makes me feel sad too. I long to have a wife that I can rush home to be with or have kids to love. I know that having a family would be hard work. But I believe that a man is either to have a family or to serve Christ in singleness. Both are hard work. And I think that I can self sacrifice enough to make it work.
I have a lot of love and caring in me. I don’t anger easily and genuinely want to help others. I strongly feel that’s it’s my calling to serve Christ as a faithful husband and father as opposed to singleness. I think it fits me better. Plus, I do like women and would like one to be intimate with. But I don’t see myself ever being able to find a wife and all that.
I don’t know, does anybody have any advice for me?
