If a woman got a tatoo on her butt and at the time she said 'It's my body, I will do what I want' and then sometime later repented and regretted that tatoo because she came to want to glorify God in her body, would she still be off limits for you?

There is a danger with so many options to fall into the trap of not making a commitment to a really good match because there might be someone better just over the horizon. John Gottman, who has been studying marriage relationships for over 40 years, pointed out that in every relationship we are...

I can see your concern about not following the world's pattern of following your dreams, etc. Paul wrote to the Thessalonians to make it their ambition to lead a quiet life. (1 Thess 4:11) But also Paul told Timothy to "fan into flame" the gift that was in him. (2 Tim 1:6) That would take some...

Maybe 'dreams' is not the right word for you. Try other words...what are you passionate about? What is your vision for your life? How do you define success? If you got to the end of your life and looked back, how would you know that your life had significance? If you accomplish nothing else in...

I think it is important to know what we want in a future mate. However, it is more important to know what HE wants us to have in a future mate. Some people think your list is too restrictive. Honestly, I think you are "majoring in minors" so to speak. You have made major issues out of things...

I don't know about "mean and evil and cheaply made" but they don't have the style and 'personality' that cars used to have. I'm not artistic and can't tell you why, but the old cars were more visually appealing. Now they all kind of look the same. It's like the cars have developed the same sort...

LOL Time is relative. Remember when you were 5 years old how looooong it was between birthdays? Because when you were 5 a year was 20% of your life. But at our age the birthdays seem to come 'round pretty quickly. I only blinked since Christmas and it's already April. So 2005, 13 years ago, is...

Missing? Probably not. But there is room for some additions...for example, I would like to develop a network of friends outside of work. I have a few but it's pretty sparse since I moved to TX. There's room for a husband. There's room for more grandkids someday.

Huh?

So how do you meet the girl so that you can ask her out?

I used to live in a house that existed in a warp in the space/time continuum. I know this because when I would go to the store I would be gone 15 minutes before my ex would call me wanting to know what was taking me so long, but when I was home and he was out, if he said "I'm on my way home"...

I look for my validation from Christ... I posted this on another thread but I think it bears repeating

Similar...though I partly am responsible for the lack of making connections because I wasn't all that dedicated to it. I was one of those hit or miss people you experienced. I apologize for us. I plan to try again at some point when I am more willing to put the effort and drive time in to attend...

I think I have that book too. :-) I know I have read it. Very helpful!!! I use the info in couples counseling a lot because couples can be loving each other in their language and the other person isn't feeling it because theirs is different. I tried using it in my marriage, but ultimately I...

"Love hunger" isn't a phrase I coined. It's from a book "Love is a Choice". There's a book and a workbook. https://smile.amazon.com/Love-Choice-Definitive-Unhealthy-Relationships/dp/0785263756/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1522508622&sr=8-1&keywords=love+is+a+choice...

It's more than just not trusting so easily or seeing the signs. It's about doing the work on myself so that I don't need that validation...so that my love hunger isn't going to allow me to be deceived. Women who fall for these men are not stupid or gullible...they are emotionally vulnerable...

That's part of it but also men with overinflated egos themselves will pour on the charm early in a relationship. They make a woman feel special, chosen, attractive etc. Now the men with overinflated egos do this because anyone they choose as a partner has to be all those things because they...

You might be on to something there. Not all of the good women though. Some of us have gotten out one way or another.

Welcome! My heart goes out to you. I hope you find here a safe place to sort through your concerns. I don't know what low cost counseling options are in your area but you might contact Focus on the Family and see if they have any suggestions. Where I work we offer sliding scale/ability to pay...

If you are angry when you pray, tell God you're angry. He isn't afraid of our anger. It sounds like you had some expectations of when things "should" have happened in your life. They didn't happen that way and since God's in charge it must be His fault. I don't think He will make excuses or tell...
