Being single

[superdave]

exactly--but you dont need to be stagnant and not have a social life. Not having a social life almost always gaurantees you to be confined as a single.

Meh, social lives are over-rated.

Soon I'll be moving out of singles forum because there's someone in my life again but listen..it was a nice vacation being out of a relationship and I like being on my own with single time. Single life is enrichment time. You're doing what you feel called to do without that other person butting in. I hope this person I've grown fond of lets me have my freedom and girl time,if not...I'm trading him in.

Good, Christian, single men do exist. We are out there. We may be few in number nowadays, but we are there, probably feeling the way you do about finding a good christian woman.

Just wait for God's timing, because he will bring you His best. Until then, devote yourself to Him. That's what I did, and now I'm with the most wonderful girl in the world!

While you're waiting pray for the guy that God has in store for you and ask God to help you become the kind of girlfriend and wife that He wants you to be.
Don't spend so much of your time hoping to meet someone that you miss out on what's going on around you. Look for opportunities to meet new people and get involved in Christian service. He will bless you beyond what you could ever imagine, maybe not necessary with a boyfriend but with other things.

You know, If worse things come to worse... with the advent of the Internet. You can connect and talk with real people, and real singles. If you are really desperate go to eharmony or match.com. But always be careful in online dating. You must really--to make sure the guy persue is not a wacko serial killer type. But most experience I have heard, there are real good people out there...that are looking. So there is never-- "NO one out there." With the Internet-you have the world at your fingers!

All I've ever wanted since I was little was to fall in love, get married and have a family. And I've waited on God my whole life for the right person, not giving in to temptation and dating any random guy just so that I won't be alone. I've tried to put my trust in Him and believe He will bring the right person but as the time goes by I feel weaker and weaker in my prayers and my faith for Him in this situation.
Everyone says 'Its all in His timing' but what if His timing is when I'm 30, 40, 50 years old? What if it is never? Why would there be someone for all my friends but yet not even 1 person for me? I don't understand. Could someone please give me their advice. I would really really appreciate it!

God Bless!

Accept it and go on. There's nothing wrong with being single.

I go to a Catholic university, and I must say that where I go there is a tendency for many of the students to marry young, as in right after graduation. It deeply affects me because I've never had a girlfriend, much less dated. Maybe it's because I'm a little shy, I don't know. People are surprised, and I'm a little surprised, as to why I've never had a girlfriend before.

Anyhow, I'm not necessarily against early marriage, but I think that some couples should wait longer before making this decision of life-lasting consequences.

Prior to going to a Catholic university, I went to a secularized college (an old Anabaptist school, ironically). Very few students at this college who married immediately upon graduation. I am truly surprised at the marriage craze at my present school. I think, with good reason, that my case is worse than that of any one else at this forum though. None of you have people in your churches asking if you plan on becoming a priest/nun, just because you are single and don't have a girlfriend/boyfriend!

Well my Girlfriend broke up with me over a month ago I guess, but I believe God will send me someone.

I haven't been in a "relationship" in a long time, I don't even really know how long it's been - but I know this: I don't miss it, and I have no interest in changing it anymore.
