There's a guy that talks to me that's old enough to be my son, but I think he just does it because he's a Christian and he's in the local area. He's probably bored because there's not many people that are conversing with him. We mostly just talk about workouts.
Yep, I'm sort of coaching one right now that will be 60 and never married. I'm trying to help him get out of the negative mindset and tell him he has to stop saying certain things if things will change.In my observation, lengthy periods of singleness affect men more adversely than women. Their self-esteem and confidence take a beating.
Yes, I'm praying!!!!Wow. That's hard. At that point you're set in your ways. Change is difficult. I hope he listens. I didn't know many Christian men in the past. The ones I spoke with had active dating lives. They never mentioned issues.
I've never interacted with someone who struggled to find a companion. It seems simple in my mind. But I've learned that isn't the case for everyone.
I've never been good with new year resolutions...
So, I'm gonna go with some fruitiolutions this time...!
Well I can understand where he's coming from because I'm pretty much the same. But he has more experience than me since he's had longer serious relationships. Just he has the chronological age thing going against. And in general I think there's a lot more pressure for guys and what their friends will say compared to girls. He gets all kinds of advice but I'm not sure it's always the best, I think he gets it from worldly Christians.He needs a lot of patience and compassion. Chronologically he’s 60. But relationally he’s much younger. It will take time to bridge the gap.
