I've been single for almost 15 years. Ever since separating from my ex-wife. I wasn't a Christian then. In that 15 years, I did go on two first dates, but I just wasn't into anyone. I'm still not. I'm kind of lucky in that I know and accept all my shortcomings that make me unattractive to women, so it never did me any good to whine about being single. That also kept me from doing as most of my associates and colleagues were doing - playing the field, which I find disgusting regardless of the gender doing it. So not only have I been single for almost 15 years, but I've been celibate for that amount of time as well (except with myself...naughty little monkey that I am)
Sure, it's not good for man to be alone, but it's what I prefer. I don't believe there is someone for everyone. I think two people can come to an understanding, maybe muster up some sort of attraction for each other, but beyond that it's pretty much a crap-shoot, especially since divorce rates are over 50% (even amongst Christians).
Aren't there other people out there who are just content to be single and celibate and aren't feeling the pressure of society to get hitched and start making babies? I often feel like the only person in the world that feels this way, but logic tells me there are others.
