I am bumping this thread. I started it a few years ago. I'm sorry fellow Christians, I still struggle w/ this. Please pray too for all our single friends in Christ too who are really struggling w/ this.

Dear Lord,
I implore you in Your Grace and mercy, to send a kindly woman to DragonFox who will help relieve this pain you have brought into his heart. Open his eyes to Your truth as regards this struggle, and what, if anything, You would have him do.
In Christ's Name,
Amen

Hi there


Since I was little I have always wanted to date & get married. I am 30 & never have. One never comes into my life. Right now I work full-time. I go to church. I attend & participate in Sunday School. I attend meet-up groups. But it never happens & has never happened. My heart feels so empty & broken & heavy. I used to struggle w/ really bad anxiety but have come a long ways. No matter how much I work on myself it never seems to be good enough. Right now it’s a challenge to even meet single girls, there’s not any at work, church, meet-up groups, whatever I do. I’m so stuck. It feels so hopeless & impossible. It’s hard for me to trust God will deliver on this. Some prayers would be appreciated.
Praying now!

Praying! I'm also in the same situation, but ultimately i've dated before. It seems like when I get fat, no one wants to date me but when im skinny theres not a problem. I don't wanna be fat for this reason, but i enjoy food. But I love God too much to be worried hysterically about being fat. I just think that if i ever become skinny or someone wants to date me, it'll be on His timing. Although, i've been in many situations where i would pray for something and have no response from God, just like you've been praying for a woman for a long time and now you're 30 and found no one, same thing for me. But I don't give up hope though. I keep praying.

I've been especially upset lately about it. It sounds silly, but you must've heard my cry b/c you're posting in my thread today.

Don't worry about the weight being a barrier to dating. That's all in your head, okay? Do you think someone really cares about that if you’re a genuine person & more importantly they are? Don't believe that stuff, it's all lies

Thank you. I'm insecure about what people would think of me only online because i'm worried that people will judge me (even though I never have anyone to talk to online, but I really mean Facebook) because I don't think that i'm pretty with how fat I am. I said the same thing when I was 40 pounds lighter and when I took pictures I actually looked amazing. I went years with thinking that when and now i'm thinking the same thing with an extra 40 more pounds when all I had to do was buy some hair that suit me and get my nails done. But here i am thinking the same thing, I guess only because i'm in a situation where im trying to get on my feet and I have no money to do that now.. I think that may be just the problem. Also, I've done some bad things to people while going through some traumatic experiences and in my addiction and i doubt that anyone could ever think or even see that I'm a genuine person. Although, i'm only thinking of the people that i've done it to. Then I also worry about being boring and alot more ... so I just think, Ive got alot of things i've gotta handle and if a relationship comes then thats great, but right now I dont mind not having a relationship because we both would be living out on the streets anyway due to I have no income lol

Songs, I've seen every kind of person married x50, there is nothing wrong w/ you & you are God's treasure too. If you wanted to, you could. The man wouldn't see those things the way you do. He'd see what is right about you. He'd be exactly right for you. You have or have had good relationships (friendships, family, etc) in the past, right? Why is this any different? They saw you as good. They saw something in you you didn't see yourself. You've overcome so much, it sounds like. Keep it up, fight the good fight! For now, work on your financials & the rest may come :)
