Am I Odd?

[wmc1982]

Bro, you're not odd at all! It just means you haven't found a girl who is right for you yet.

I might have misinterpreted shyguyelite, but I think he's saying that those in relationships are seen as being more influential than those who aren't. In my group of friends at the theatre, for example, the guys who are in relationships seem to be more trusted when it comes to giving advice purely because they're in relationships. It's as though people think, "well they can get it right because they have someone." Not my opinion, just an observation.

excatly. Be thankful that God kept you from having to go through dating random people who aren't meant for you.

God is waiting to give you the perfect girl for you. You just have to be patient. I'm 24 and still waiting. I know its hard and lonely at times. But God wants you to strengthen your relationship with Him first, before he gives you that special girl.

I actually think that it is a huge blessing! Just think about your future wife and how you will be able to think of only her. When someone has dated around it is easy to remember or think of the past even in an unwilling heart. Enjoy the time of being responsible for you only and spend that time building your relationship with God.
God Bless

Your not odd.

I agree with others that god will help you with the right girl. I mean i have been dating girls all my life and eventually my heart got broken big time and i took a break. I remember praying in my depressed mode, talking to god about my perfect girl and how i wish it would be that easy. A few months later bam i found out a girl ive known slightly for 4 years, likes me and here we are almost a year later happier then ever and i thank god for her. Yes it hasnt all been picnics and flowers because her parents think badly of me (theyve never talked to me for more then 3 min). But if you truly want something you have to work for it.

Now since im starting to ramble ill get to my point. I agree that god will help you but i also feel that you have to put things into your own hands and try finding that special person. I mean if i would have never pursued my girlfriend then i would still be that guy lost in the dark.

I'm 20 and not yet had a girlfriend, I asked a girl out over a year ago who told me she liked me then changed her mind so that backfired. Anyway my family are trying to always get me to have a girlfriend, I would not mind one but they always think am a bit odd as I have not had one yet. There is a girl at church who they keep saying to me is nice and is around me age, to be fair she is a nice girl but I don't really know her so don't speak to her. They are now going on saying I should go speed dating etc, which I don't want to, am I odd or not?

I am 20 and have never had a BF, I've never even been kissed, I don't really think its that weird. Sure it does bother me at times, but that just means that God had reasons for me to have not been in a relationship, and I just have to trust that He knows what He's doing, which I'm pretty sure He does

And don't let people pressure you into doing something you don't want to. I let people do that to me and it ended horribly and was just an unpleasant experience. Just enjoy your singleness while you have it.

But no, I don't think you're odd, because if I did, I guess I would have to think that I am odd too, and I don't think that

In an outRAGEOUS French accent:

Ahhh, ouis. He eez twentee and nevahr had a girlfriend, she eez twentee and nevahr had a boyfriend. VOILA! Bingo bango eetz done! And SO eezy. See? C'est l'amour!

Oh BTW everyone is odd except Siamese twins, pregnant women, and some schizophrenics --after all: you're just one person!

[The Lone Gunmen]

Lol

 

[coolchicka]

No I dont think thats odd. I just think you should wait until you are ready.

 

[PrincessK]

You're not weird I'm 24 and I've never had a boyfriend before don't you feel better now LOL

 

[LazeyWinde]

I aint had a boyfriend or even been interested... Just happily single. I don't think there's anything wrong about it, different from what people expect maybe but it seems like it's everyone else that has a problem with it.

*busts out laughing*

That's the best thing I've read all week.

No... it's not odd. In some ways I wish I'd never had a boyfriend, though I praise God that good came of the hurt.

 

[fuzzymel]

Your not weird. I was my husband first (and only) girlfriend and we got together when he was 21.

 

[~Beauty_from_Pain~]

There's nothing wrong with being 20 and not dating. My bf was 24 when I met him and he had never dated before. I say don't rush it until you are ready. That is the important thing

 

[Cordy]

Not having dated does not make you odd. Don't worry about what others think. If and when God has someone for you, He will lead you in that way.

 

[Scotty_Aussie87]

are you odd for not having dated? depends who you ask, none here would call you odd so as not to group ourselves in the same category.

 

[Kol]

Man! I'm 27, my brother and all my cousins are married with kids! I've no idea what my relatives think of my 'single' status. I really don't have the time to care.

I don't think being single is odd at all, esp considering the pool we have to pick from.

 

[TheLark]

Here's another twenty year old who's never dated... I've never wanted to, not that I don't want to get married someday, but it's just not worth it to me untill I really think there's a possibility I could marry the person.

My sister and I have a theory that one way to make sure that you do the dating thing right is to not date at all until God hits you over the head with a spiritual hammer and says pay attention to this one...

So long as you listen to him, he's not going to let you miss the boat.

i wouldnt be looking forward to the headache.

nah your not wierd well if you are so are the rest of us!!

 

[born2run]

You aren't odd at all. Up until last year I hadn't dated at all either, and that particular one ended in a less than perfect way. I too get the "why are you single" comments from people, but like a previous poster said, we have a pretty small pool to choose from.
