Being content being single

[AliveinChrist99]

You keep going Christgirl you can do it, it’s not easy to make friends but pray and God will help you he’s changed so much in my life
All I did was pray and trust him
He is so good, he can help you in all of this if you let him
One step at a time

I used to be the exact same way! I hit a rough patch in my life where I couldnt trust anybody and had no friends, but I was able to get in to some counseling and therapy and I have turned my life around completely. If you would like to talk about it hmu!

You might walk around a corner and bump into your soul mate! You never know!

or, in this day and age, get hit with a harassment charge....

Is it ok to be content being single, but wanting to get married later on?I am in my 20's, and I have no interest in courting/dating anytime soon.But I do want to get married eventually.My only issue is,I like being alone at times and find it difficult to make friends,so I wonder will I grow out of this and become more open to dating.I honestly find the idea of dating awkward and it makes me uncomfortable.Any advice appreciated.

Yeah totally. Personally I don't think folks should think about getting married until their late 20s at the earliest, but things happen.

Enjoy single life for now, don't focus too much on being single or finding a relationship. Just let life happen.

100%

I think a lot of marriages fail because they rush in to it at an age where, frankly, they aren't mature enough to make that decision and commitment.

A lot of people are still developing personally, professionally and spiritually well in to their 20s. The person you are at 20 likely won't be the person you are at 25 or 30. Clearly that causes friction that becomes too much.

Life is too short to stagnate in a flatlined marriage 'just because', and I think people realise that and reconsider things.

our comfort zone or our life goals. we all must choose.

 

[Christgirl67]

I have a question that goes along with this.I have been approached by men that do not share the same faith as I do.How would I go about politely declining them when talks of a relationship comes up?

 

[AliveinChrist99]

Well first of all it’s wonderful that you will decline a relationship because they’re not Christians many wouldn’t but I think further down the line they may regret it
Just do it as politely as you can
You can say I’m sorry but we’re just not compatible I like to spend my days reading the Bible, praying to Jesus and worshipping God what do you spend your days doing?
Maybe that might lead you to talk about Jesus with that person
May God bless your heart.

Of course that’s okay. In fact I think that’s completely normal. Sometimes we have desires that we know we aren’t ready to fulfill at the present moment because we have growing to do or some other circumstance that prohibits it, but that doesn’t mean we won’t have opportunity or means to act on that later on.

Do you have any social anxiety? I do and I often feel the same as you. It’s very hard for me to make friends and I really like to spend time alone. Although, I don’t seek out relationships because I believe God intends for me to stay single, but challenging yourself to get out really helps. It has been hard for me, but also good. I can actually have conversations with people now.

I will be praying for you and in all of this seek God and His guidance and He will bless you.

Yeah I do have social anxiety.I tend to get very nervous around people and often think people will not like me,so it makes it difficult for me to talk to people.

In your 20s, of course, just don't be doing it in your 40s like some women I've met. Lol

it's rough out there for men in this current economy.

a female just has to shake her hips and bat her eye and she'll get all the opposite sex attention she wants.

men have to actually accomplish things.

If a man is only looking for one thing,that will attract their attention.But there are still some women who still will work and cannot even get a man to look their way because they do not put themselves out there to be looked at for attention.

of course. men aren't going to be attracted to a woman's career. a woman's career resume will attract a potential employer but not a potential mate.

I using that as a example,but I do think some men desire a independent women if they are really serious

...and then there are those guys who want the woman to foot the bill for them.
