Not so much by my own will but because I'm on the autism spectrum and have so much baggage, I think it's best I stay out of dating lest I hurt anyone or have people hurt me. I don't know if I will ever recover from my harsh childhood or the complications of my disability.

Marriage and relationships are indeed things I WANT to do, it's just not something I CAN do.

I don't know about that... There are a lot of women out there who are VERY intelligent emotionally. I wouldn't put limitations on yourself or the idea of meeting someone who sees deep into your soul and understands the international language of love (I say that, because it isn't all Shakespearean romance. Love is spoken in millions of different languages.)

You have a lot to offer, actually.

I have no desire to date or get to know anyone and I quite like my freedom. I love being single and I love taking that time to just focus on God. It’s what makes me happiest.

I agree. I’ve been attracted by different aspects of singleness. Right now, it’s the absence of cares that I appreciate. I understand Paul’s words.

And freedom is sweet. Real sweet. ;-)

In a way my learning is very involved that I see no time to do otherwise and a other thing I am unemployed so that is must cases is a no go for most people in romantic dating. I am thinking that is the best life for me right now but this thinking may change in the future because God can throw curveball in my plans.

I believe I am being called to be celibate and not date or marry. I am in my thirties never had a girlfriend and don’t have a interest to have a romantic relationship. I am called to be a man of God with no distractions and focus my life in Jesus name.

Didn't Tampasteve just close down a thread of the exact same topic?

See: How many singles are staying celebate?

I've never dated outside of a couple of online relationships with women at CF. I'd like romance and such, but have doubted for some time that it will ever happen for me.

You only dated women in these here message boards? Can you not find anyone locally?
