Am I the only one that feels like they're never going to find anyone for the rest of their life? I know this is going to sound like I'm not trusting God, but it just feels that way sometimes.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yup I was gonna say that - everyone feels that way at some point, you just have to remember that God gives you a time!!! I learned alot by reading the book I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris - it really tells you about waiting and why sometimes we have to wait for the right person to come along.

It's just tough right now but you won't always be alone... got to start trusting in Jesus.
...And yeah, your not the only one.

I think it's God's will for me to stay single for the rest of my life. Sometimes it bothers me. Sometimes it doesn't. I can't argue with God. He's the one in charge. I think what bothers me more is the fact that society acts like everyone should be part of a couple of some sort and that we must be freaks if we aren't.

IMHO, I think Joshua Harris' views have actually hurt Christian guys who are trying to seek honest relationships and girls are too scared now days.
Maybe its the result of a tough two weeks (I started a business) but I've had thoughts of just tossing my good, dependable, serving Christian mindset and being an all out jerk. Believe it or not, jerks get the Christian girls too. I'm sick of being alone.

I feel like that a lot. I'm the only single person in my entire extended family. I'm the only single person out of all my high school friends and college friends. It's like, ok God i'm trusting you, but could you let it happen soon??? But then I look at my married friends and some of them got marriedjust to be married and I'm thankful i'm not in a marriage like that. I agree with whoever said that it's better to be single than married to the wrong person. So yeah, I understand what it's like to trust God but feel antsy at the same time.

I feel this way lately too...not normally but the past few weeks. I think the worst part of feeling this way is thinking that I'm letting God down. I feel like He's up there looking at me doubting Him and feeling sad about it all. I wish I could trust that He truly does have a plan for me.

Would you rather be married to someone horrid, and feel like you're never going to get away from her for the rest of your life?
Enjoy your singleness, young padawan. Someday, you'll wish you had it back. (I didn't say you would feel like you wanted to be single again, forever, or could get rid of your spouse. But there are times for all married people, when they wish they could be single again for a brief time.)

basically I really cannot see myself with an SO for a long time yet if ever. Thats not to say I wouldn't want one, but thats not to say I'm just dying to find the right guy either 
I'm not gonna let myself worry about this. I know that if its God's will for me to marry then I will meet that guy when it suits God's timing and not a moment sooner.

It's true that it's better to wait and be patient than jump into something that you'll regret for all your life. I wish I had been a lot pickier and patient when choosing my husband and in turn I was miserable. Hopefully God won't think I need to stay single now but if He does I kind of think it's because I wasn't patient the first time around so why should I be granted with such a precious gift of love yet again.
