Amen! But I just hope I don't have to wait too long.... at this point, I'm still too shy to post up my own pictures and more personal information on my homepage, but if I stick around too long, I'll probably end up posting my whole family album and my social security number, home address, phone number and everything.I just feel like all people there are single have a chance to get married. There is a lot of people on this planet, u no. I think there are a few choices for a soulmate, the one, and life partners out there.
Just have faith and don't give up!!!

I never thought about being a Demi as something to look forward to. I'm not so sure I want an Ashton. At my age I figure I'm a Cameron that's been with the Justins and want to move forward closer to my age.Oooo - I already have an Ashton - well at least a virtual one - deliciousbass and I made a joke about it in one of the threads a while back - he's my Ashton and I'm his Demi...
And ChristianDrew's comment to D was very sweet.]...........You never know prince charming might be around that corner..[/size]
Can any man see there this princess awaiting to be rescued? She is a precious gem, can anyone see this??

Being single in your 30s, 40s...whatever age... is only as good/bad as you make it to be.
Age is a state of mind. If you feel old you'll act old. I know plenty of people with medical conditions or disabilities that don't let it slow them down.
I also truly believe that we need to embrace our singleness. We can't truly love someone else until we love ourselves. If we hate our singleness, we hate a part of ourself - and I've seen plenty of people on here voice the opinion that they're not worthy of being loved by another. If you think that way, you'll fulfill the prophecy of singleness. If you believe that you are worthy of being loved and have a lot of wonderful traits to contribute to a relationship, then you will find yourself in a relationship when God's timing calls for it.
If you feel negative and bitter, other people will perceive you that way and probably go out of their way to avoid you. If you feel positive and uplifted, people will be attracted to you like a butterfly to a light.
I don't know I've seen 40 year old Master Sergeants run 18:00 minute 3-miles. So I wouldn't be so quick to believe that physical ability fades so swiftly.Its like I pointed out earlier. 2 years ago I wasn't on seizure medication and my tremors didn't matter.
That and by the time you hit 30 you really arn't any longer in your prime. I definatly don't feel like I'm anything close to in my prime now.

This thread is interesting. In response to the OP, I'm not so sure I'd still be posting on here. For me it feels like a phase in my life. There's not many things I'm still doing within a 4-5 year time span. Except running, I've been doing that since I was 20 and plan to keep going till I'm 70.

And ChristianDrew's comment to D was very sweet.I actually wouldn't mind being called a princess, as I just don't feel like queen fits yet. Much of it is a mindset I guess.
Luther, I hope your feeling better about your age...I understand the ales of deteriorating health, I experienced it in college around 24-25 and wondered if it would continue and who would want me. The more you focus on the negative aspects Luther, the worse it will be for you. If you look at any senior person and see them glowing with a smile, you'll notice they appear so much younger than they are.
God bless all those living their lives for Christ as a Single (wether you want to be married or not). May everyone be able to use these years wisely and walk in the Lords will.

I have no idea what I'll be doing in the next week, let alone 5-10 years from now, so I can't answer whether I'll be posting here. However, I do know that my singleness has nothing to do with my age nor any physical problems I may have. My singleness is because . . wait for it . . I'M NOT MARRIED.
Teufelhund, yep, I know what you mean. When I was 18 and in basic training, the best recruits were the ones over 30. They definitely had faster times on the runs and were more serious about doing well. Even guys that had gotten a big gut and used to run well when they were younger, still passed me up.
Although I think what Luther was talking about is a bit of a different case, I've seen others work around their disabilities. Look at Joni Erickson Tada, she's parapaledgic (can't spell) and look how amazingly God has used her life. She navigated around her circumstances and put her focus on others, that's how she met her husband. She was boored in church, decided to pray for someone on the church, picked the back of someones head. Met the guy some months later, he asked her on a date and their married. God is using her, despite her weakness, amazingly to minister to others everywhere.
That and by the time you hit 30 you really arn't any longer in your prime. I definatly don't feel like I'm anything close to in my prime now.
do you think you'd (if you remain single) still be on this website/singles forum like 5, 10 or 20 or more yrs from now? (presuming it'll still be on and we all bond together over time or something...)
Discuss...
(but dude, I really hope I won't be going on this singles forum when I'm applying for my SSI/ senior card!)
