I'm single because I choose to be. I'm looking for my husband and I haven't found him yet, so I might meet up with new people just for fun for a get to know a new person "date" but I'm not going to actually date someone until I see husband potential.

I'm single because there has been no opportunity for a relationship. I live in a small town, and pretty much the only place to meet people and hang out is the bar...which I am not comfortable with. Guys have never really seemed to notice me either. I go from being okay to struggling with it, being 24 and having absolutely no real chance of meeting anyone in the near future. I know it's something that I need to trust God in, but lately it's something that I have been spending a lot of time thinking about.

LOL they were turned off because you're Catholic? What does that matter?

I was really vocal about it for 2 years (that's actually one of the reasons I got broken up with), and I was told straight up (by my ex, nonetheless) that one of the girls I was interested in was NOT interested in me because that girl was not Catholic for actual reasons, and didn't want to have issues.

By this time, I had firmly decided that I was not Catholic, so it really hurt that I was being rejected because she thought I was something that I was not. But by that time, she thought I was a stalker (because I left her a "secret admirer" note for Christmas and she saw me a lot around campus), so all bets were off. Yuck.

Do you ever plan to move? Like, not to meet a guy, but just to move away from your hometown? I also want to tell you that you have a very pretty sounding username. It sounds Spanish :)

For almost 20 years I thought that I had been called to a life of celibacy. About three years ago I realized that I had been wrong all along. I didn't have a good understanding of what celibacy was and what it took to be celibate. I was struggling so badly with it that I began to wonder if it was supposed to be almost impossible to deal with being celibate. At the time I thought that was just a part of it. It wasn't until I was 35 that I realized that I had been mistaken all along and that I was really trying to force something on myself that I wasn't intended to have in the first place.

Lol its not exactly a choice, i like guys who dont like me. The only guys taht want me are desperate creeps.
^_^ I think I must agree with you there, well, for me at least. Most guys that are creeps just want a one night stand or something and when you don't give it to them, they dump you. Its kinda sad. But then again, they will eventually, or should, straighten out sometime. :p

-I really love being single... Seriously, I need the freedom of being detached... But would love it more if my pants didn't keep on reminding me of how sexy this or that women looks when they walk...

-Relationships are SO MUCH WORK, if I was going to marry, we would have to get along so well that it would be easy. If I can't have that I, I'll have none of it. I will not compromise.

-The whole process of dating etc actually seems a bit foreign to me

-As an artist, I'm a bit of a cave dweller, I don't have a robust social life.

-I know what God wants me to do, and I think that for now God wants me to be single so that my focus for that isn't interrupted.

(btw, that lust I mentioned is causing me to pine for a non-christian girl. Prayers would be appreciated)
