hello...

[socal890]

well this is my first post and is more of a vent than anything. feel free to add.

i'm 27 (almost 28) and everyday i pray that God would let me meet the girl he put on this earth for me. i feel like i'm getting pretty old now and honestly i haven't been on a real date since high school. sometimes i feel that God is letting me down. its not that i'm not social or attractive; i eat right, work out daily, college degree/good job, a loving family, good friends, and i would consider myself good looking... i guess i just have a hard time meeting girls or i'm unlucky in that aspect. when i was going to college i always wanted to meet someone but never did, just figured it would happen soon. but now it feels like i'm running out of time and the oppurtunity to meet a nice young girl.

its just not that fun being single anymore, i feel like i'm getting older and not enjoying going out on the weekends as i did when i was younger. if you have someone you truly love, you are very fortunate.

Hi there & welcome to CF!
Don't worry you are still young and there is a different time for things to take place for everyone.
I don't have any advice for you but I do hope God will bless you with your heart's desires.

Welcome!!

[Bible]Psalm 37:4[/Bible]

Focus on God, meditate on the Word, think about things above and not on earthly things. I know it's hard, but God's time is perfect. He knows what He's doing Hang in there

God dropped someone in my lap (and vice versa, for her). Met the second day of school. Not to say it's the usual, but it happens.

To be honest? I don't believe in the whole "God's gonna bring someone to you" idea, so if you want to find a nice girl to date you're going to have to go look for one. *shrugs*

There's nothing wrong with looking. I think if you've spent most of your time assuming God was going to drop the right girl into your lap, that's probably where you're mistake happened.

Some people get lucky. Other people have to go searching. Nothing wrong with either of those, except one of them you have control over and one of them you don't.

this is more or less what i'm worried about... i have always felt God would just let me meet her and do the ground work for me... now that i'm almost 28 i'm starting to feel pressure to go out and find someone on my own. it just seems like at a certain age (22-25) all the good girls start to get married and are no longer available and i'm getting pretty old to be dating a 22 year old. but thanks for all the replies, God bless.

Welcome to the board! All in God's timing! Praying for ya!!

Welcome. Just get out there and start asking girls out if you want to. You can't expect anything to fall into your lap anymore, rejection will happen but hey that's part of life. Don't sit around waiting though, use your time wisely.

actually general Rule of creepiness.... (27/2) + 7 = 20.5
so you can safely date someone that young... and for 28 which you said you would soon be.... (28/2) + 7 = 21 so yeah, your still safe......

but look for one you'd not just be comfortable dating, but marrying if that's what your end goal is.
and why would it not be?

Age is really only a factor as much as you let it be..... there are couples that are 9 years apart that have had a 50+ marriage (my grandparents, he passed away at 92)...... and then there are couples less than a year apart that make a marriage last......
and then there is one couple that was like a month apart and it ended in divorce after 2 months......

so age not a real factor......

oh and there are a few good girls out there that are in our "age range" they're just few and far between... but they do exist.....
