She's not looking, but if it's God's will for her to date...

This is an example of may be not a dating experience, but a single man meeting a single woman. Met her through social media, and she said that she just moved to the area...that she is single, but not looking to date. She said if it's Gods will for her to date, then she'll do it.

Personally, when someone said "it's God's will" in association regarding their OWN free will, which God gave us...I sometimes kind of feel it's a cop-out...or a line...or if not that a metaphor? Maybe a defense mechanism when a bachelor approaches her? lol

I used to write to single women who posted ads in the OurTime dating site for people over 50. After writing back and forth, exchanging phone numbers, videos, etc., I met a few at coffee shops or restaurants. One widow my age was new to the area. I invited her to see some of my favorite local sites. I was happy for awhile. After writing to over a hundred, there were no more to write to. I wished I had been more open to sharing.

Translation: She's very picky, and not self-aware enough to know that she's still kind of looking. If a man is exceptional enough, she'll date him, but most men ain't it.
