The Lonely Hearts Thread!

[Thunder 88]

Post here if you are lonely!

I just finalized my divorce from my cheating wife at the end of January. And behold, I have no one to be with on Valentines Day.


Am I sad? Yes, to some degree I am. Am I happy? Actually, I am more happy than I am sad.


Because I know the Good Father in Heaven will take care of me.




So, for all you lonely hearts out there, cheer up, and witness that you are not alone. Our Father takes care of his children.


I would rather be lonely this Valentines day only to know that Yahweh is preparing my future wife. It isn't good for man, or woman, to be alone.

Good thread thunder 88 and know that you are in my prayers ((((many hugs)))))

I am alone tonight ... but I am not really lonely. Not today anyway. God has been doing so much work in my life over the past few days that I actually value the time alone. I can concentrate on what God is trying to teach me without having to stop so much and lose momentum.

I hope that God is preparing me to be a wife again someday...but if not, I am content if He is just preparing me to be whoever He wants me to be. I just hope that my heart is open enough to listen.

Because I know the Good Father in Heaven will take care of me.

Indeed He will. I have always struggled with loneliness. Let me share one of my favorite scriptures with you.

Psalm 139
1 O LORD, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
2 You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
3 You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
4 You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, LORD.
5 You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!
7 I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
8 If I go up to heaven, you are there;
if I go down to the grave, you are there.
9 If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
and your strength will support me.
11 I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light around me to become night—
12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same to you.
13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16 You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
17 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
They cannot be numbered!
18 I can’t even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!

Well...maybe GOD is preparing a wife for me. Next month, I will turn 58. By the time I find someone, I just hope that I will not be too old to do anything physical.And no, due to my medical condition,I cannot take those magic pills. By the way,My name is not Abraham.

exit, I got a friend who is 70 ... he has been getting lucky quite a bit lately! So there is still a lot of time, tho I hope you don't have to wait that long.

Yes, I am lonely.

Three years out from a divorce I still feel the hurt/loss like a pendant around my neck.

I would rather be lonely this Valentines day only to know that Yahweh is preparing my future wife. It isn't good for man, or woman, to be alone.

Today,I have decided to cancel my subsription to Christian Mingle. In three months, I have sent out 136 e-mails and recieved only 8 replies,or 5.8%, and had only one date, or 0.7%.

I do not believe in wasting time and/or money.

After the data has been collected with this experiment,I can logically come to only one conclusion. I am not what most christain women are looking for.

I have always wondered,if GOD wants me to have a wife,instead of having sex outside of marriage,then WHY won't he give the the skills or the equipment to ATTRACT a good christain woman?

 

[dayhiker]

exit ... That is amazing to me. I'd think women, be they Christian or not would at least reply to emails sent them. We know from how many single women are out there that say they are looking for a relationship that all those you emailed haven't found a relationship in the previous few weeks!

Since I'm not in a relationship now, I've been joining a few of those web sites. I get this feeling that some profiles are made up by the web site to make it look like they have all these people who are single and looking so guys will put down money. So I really do thing there is a scam going on as well as the real people that join these sites.

"We have thousands of men and dozens of women waiting to meet you!" sounds about right.

Don't get mad exit, but some people are looking for love in all the wrong places. Guess you didn't meet anyone on your recent cruise?

Yes!,now I am inclined to believe the reports that Christian Mingle may be a big scam. A couple of women,who e-mailed me back,told me that they are in a relationship now. Maybe these women were paid to put in fake profiles in order to get men (saps) like me to pay. That is one reason that I am canceling my membership.

Well,there is an old Native American saying that goes like this,"Fool me once,shame on YOU,fool me twice,shame on ME."

I did not have to meet anyone on my cruise because I took someone with me. We both had a great time. I do not think that her and me could have a long term relationship,because she is "poly",AND she is living with another man.
IF I can get the RIGHT kind of woman attracted to me,I would not have to settle for the wrong type. The fact is that only the wrong types like me.

I don't mean to jest but every time you post today, it triggers a "song" in my head. "If loving you is wrong....sorry....

Have you tried the new dating site Our Time? It's "mature dating" but maybe you don't want a "mature" woman, huh?

 

[blackribbon]

Or more logical conclusion, you are not what the women on "christian mingle" are looking for...there are plenty of us Christian women who are not on that site (or any other).

I wish I had some useful advise to offer, but I don't. Hang in there...

Your apology is accepted. However,I took no offense,as I have lately found myself doing that with my friends. They seem to aapreciate that fact that I can match an appropriate song to their situation.

On Christian Mingle, I reqested to meet women from 45 to 61 years old,since I am now 58 years old. About 98% of them are in their 50's.
I read all the time about women in their 50's complaining that single men MY age only want to date younger women. I am requesting to meet mature women and these mature women overlook me! As Mr. Spock would say,"I fail to see any logic in that!"

Well..... I am trying to do that. My church disbanded our sinlges' group. One church,about 20 miles away,used to have a dance every third Saturday of the month. Now we have a dance on the third Saturday every three months. That church wants to have Saturday evenings for the youth,those young punks! JUST KIDDING!

But,it does seems nowadays that singles over 40 are being neglected by our local churches. Most of these Pastors were married in their 20's,probably married their high school sweethearts, living in an ALMOST fairy tale situation,and have NO clue what it is like to be single again in your forties.

 

[blackribbon]

Either that or they are two steps away from divorce court wondering where the fairy tale went wrong and wearing fake smiles.
