How do you deal with being single??

[Pope Gonzo]

Enjoy being single. At 18 I began a 2 year relationship which ended 3 months ago. Looking back, the relationship was not worht the pain. I wouldn't recommend love for ANYONE. It's not all it's cut out to be.

If that's the feeling the relationship left you, I don't think it was love

Be content with being single. I met my fiance not even a year and a half ago. We've been dating eight and a half months and now we're engaged... and I'm still really young. God's timing is better than ours

 

[Sacrifice]

I had a long relationship once with a great girl, we split up, and a few month later we got together again, but it didn't work out. I've been single for a few years now, and i don't have a problem dealing with it. I'm 20 now, and sometimes I think, when will the right woman come along? But i trust in God, and I know he will send me the woman of my dreams at the right time.

 

[Sketcher]

Ive been single nearly all my life. I think its time for a change, but I guess God thinks otherwise. I sometimes have a tough time coping with it, so how do you deal with it?? Any Bible verses you read? Any particular activities that you do??

I'm just thankful that I don't have the problems married people do. If you think life is hard now, it does not look like it will get easier at the altar.

God works for me ... not that He works for me, but I work for Him, but He is awesome

 

[DidiCh]

Try being a single parent!!!!
You think that just being single is hard to get by with, I have a 6 year old son, he's absolutly precious, but there sure are times where I really do feel lonely and would really like to share the responsability with someone... But all in Gods good timing!!!! There are some days that I wish He would hurry up in His timing though!!!!!!!!
Although there are times when I start to think about what it would be like to be in a relationship and it actually scares me! So I think that the best thing for me is to be single, at least that is what I now call my comfort zone...

I deal with being single by dating many women. Or play xbox live.

Well that's just lovely.... not.

LOL.


That was funny. Sorry if i offended you. But just go out on dates. Filter them out. If it gets boring after awhile take up a good hobby. I am starting to do alot of outdoors stuff until I find a special lady. Ask the girls you date if they have friends if your not compatible with them.

Most of all. Just don't think about it. Thinking about it gets your depressed. If you do think about it, think about when you were in a relationship and all the problems you had ....A big ol' grin should come right on your face.

 

[godchaser_jan]

same here, I've never even been on a real date. basically I trust that God will allow me to meet the right guy when the timing is right. maybe that sounds like a cliche, but He is the one in control, and I trust HIm.

I say AMEN to that...
same here...all I really wanted is to live life to the full...

 

[HyperactiveJNB]

Being single is better than dating a non-christian. I've made that mistake too many times. I wish I could find a christian guy like the rest of ya but I would prefer to be single than to date another non-christian.

 

[JoshuaWorth]

I'm a single christan.

 

[JoshuaWorth]

and i hate being single. it sucks!

 

[JoshuaWorth]

I guess the Lord has his reasons

You are 22 and have a whole life ahead of you.......enjoy it!!!

i've had my shares of pretty bad relationship, and a share of good relationships that just weren't meant to be, and ended on a slightly bad note. i have a love/hate relationship with single life. i love it because i am focusing on my life, getting it back on track, and i dont' have another side telling me what i should be doing, but at the same time, i miss having someone that may be falling in love with me, and miss buying things for a girl, going out and getting a bite to eat with a g/f, or going out to the park, and working through a fight, and just having someone that in a way your slightly living for. so like i said it is a love/hate relationship with the single life.

God acts in mysterious ways a lot of the times. I call it Divine Humor. He has shocked me with the utmost desire for only friendships for now, until i find that special someone. i have been broken up with my ex for eight months now, and i haven't met one person that i have really wanted to try have a relationship with. i miss kisses, hugs, holding hands, cuddleing, buying them roses and all that sappy, romantic stuff, but God heals the pain day by day, with the hope of finding a good relationship, and the one that won't give up, and it is a pure and holy relationship. Just deal with being single day by day. When the good times come, enjoy them, and when those bad days come with being single, deal with them, get through them, and go on to the next day. God Bless you all! <><

I do so much to try to keep my mind off of being single and wanting to be in a relationship, that most of the time when I really get into what I do, I actually forget about being single and start enjoying it.

Personal List: (Most of these are done after I take care of my son.)

Xbox or Super Nintendo (I'm a gamer, could help it but don't want to.)

Reading & sometimes researching many things within many subjects.

Currently learning Korean and Spanish and on the flipside, brushing up on French.

Watching movies and tv (I'm a "functioning" couch potato)

Draw, sketch, take nature pictures.

Career and Homelife:

I'm studying for several certifications to further my IT career.

I play with my son and teach him how to pray and be polite; so far all is well.

Taking him to play outside.

Seeking a church home and studying the Bible.

Working out to get back into shape.


That's the bulk of what I do.

I applaud all you do. It sounds like you lead a very interesting and full life and I wish you the best of luck in finding that special someone for you and your son. God has someone wonderful waiting for you. Good luck with learning Korean and Spanish! and most of all I wish you the best of luck raising your son. Allow God to guide you. Listen to his word and you will never go wrong.

Its better then dating lots of women when you're not single.

Sounds like you've got your hands full! How old is your son?

I have never really have had a girlfriend- and the ones I kinda' had relationships with just tore my heart out. I am staunch believer in waiting on God's timing. And the great thing is I know that it's not God's time for me to date- because I can't marry a girl right now. I have found great peace in that. In the meantime, I have been hanging out with my spritual brothers, going and improving myself. My friends are wonderful- and I am enjoying their company so much.

I am only 20... and I believe in a couple years- I will be ready to fully support a wife. And then I know God is going to give me someone.

I take courage that this is the only years I will be single. And I am living them up!

Dave.
