• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

Is it strange to be over the hill and still be single?

I am. I am too old to be anything else.

That isn't true. I know two women who wed their 60s. One I know personally.

I said something and it wasn't haphazard. I called you sweet. That can't be taught. I've guided and influenced many. That's innate. And its something men crave. It isn't plentiful. Trust me.

Don't let anyone tell you your time has past. I've heard of your sweetness elsewhere. Own it.

What we are on forums are usually not what we are in real life. At least that's true of me and a few others I know
Some people see internal beauty in everyone. That's a beautiful gift. I recognize what I have left and I am content with that.
I wish you the best and God's best for you.

Thank you. That isn't what I see. God gave me an ability to see the shadow. The attributes others miss about someone. If I call you sweet it means I see your beauty on another level. I don't need anyone to tell me. The eye has been at it for years.

I give no heed to numbers.

I see the trait and acknowledge it. It's the beauty of being seen. I needn't explain that since you're more experienced.

No, unhappy people are bitter. People who do the things in the list are bitter. I've never been happier because of the hope I have in Christ. I was only saying why people are unhappy. We all as Christians should be avoiding such things and overcoming them.

You’re welcome. I take no credit. It comes on in spurts and the timing is His.

Am I ready? That’s a big step. I think He’s working on me.

Truthfully, I don’t want to meet anyone online. It’s too involved and the pandemic changed a lot. I want to do it the old fashioned way. Meet in person and spend time together and get acquainted. I want to be in his presence. Not on a computer. Plus I’m moving overseas. I have to be practical.

Couples have to be on the same page to be truly "married". My marriage was a nightmare...for my wife. She couldn't get on board with what I had planned for us, even though I thought I had explained it pretty well before we got married. She left after just four years. I did get a couple of great kids out of her however.

Maybe you can phrase that last sentence in a less chauvenist way? "Women are only good for"...

Okay, madame matchmaker! I'll bite.

For the majority of the men on the site I'm the wrong fit. They don't need a woman like me. Their lives don't require the qualities and skills I bring to the table. Its overkill. I want a man who needs what I have to offer. He's bettered by my presence in every way. I don't want to be dormant or consigned to a life I'd never choose for myself. I have to be practical.

Many have little to no experience. That's fine when you're in the same boat. But less so when you've dealt with others like yourself. I don't have men who tiptoe around their interest or rely on innuendo to express themselves. They say I like you, I want you, etc. There's no ambiguity.

Being here has taught me a lot. I didn't grow up in Christian culture. I don't have the same ideologies and messages in my head. My family was practical. Marriage wasn't a goal or idol. It was my choice.

When I think of forever I'm visualizing a complement. Someone whose strengths, gifts, and talents match my own. I need something in return. He needs to have it in tow.

ETA: And be in his 30s!
