Saved by trusting
It is of course not SIMPLY a matter of that. But feeling like I COULD be with someone again has taken a LONG time. My own readiness/ attitude/ whatever is my responsibility, that's stuff I can work on with time, reflection, self-development. Everything outside of that is out of my hands.
For a long time I didn't believe it was worth the risk of getting involved, but that was borne out of unhappy experiences and carrying a lot of anger and resentment which had me closing myself off to the idea of relationships. But it may well have been 'Hobson's Choice', they weren't forming a queue at the door!
Anyway, what I mean to say is that getting past the negativity and determining to dare to be open has been a long time coming. There is more work to be done yet but I am happy and grateful to be able to see that love and relationships are not a closed chapter in my life. Of course there still remains the possibility that I'll sit nice and ready on the shelf ad infinitum...
Hope you find what you need in timely fashion, friend.

I'm single for many reasons...
1. I'm shy and even when I know other women are interested in me I tend to do nothing about it.
2. It's hard for me to feel something special about someone.
3. What I really want in a relationship probably seems undesirable and sick to the majority of society, least to the extent I'd like to take it.
For now I just can't emotionally handle it.

There are many reasons why I am still single. Some I can influence, some not:
1. While I enjoy my life and see that I have grew in Christ, I think I am not yet where God wants me to be. Most of the time I am very content as being single and sometimes I wish to have a mate to share my life and my faith.
2. I am quite shy when meeting new people, which doesn't make it any easier. And I still struggle with self-confidence and self-esteem issues. That is something I can change and I am working on it daily, it just needs time and a close relationship with my Lord.
3. There are no male christians at my age around my church or anywhere near it! Well, there is nothing I can change about this myself. I just have to wait patiently and let the Lord work his miracles.
4. I am a walking book worm. Literally everywhere I go I have a book with me. Unfortunately that doesen't seem to be of interest in this time and age.

Good question...I maybe single because there is a shortage of christian men in my area and maybe it is just not God's time for me to meet someone. Although, I am weary being single.

The Ents have no choice because they lost the Entwives. They just couldn't agree on where to live.

Yep, that's the same reason for me.Simple. I am single because I am not dating, engaged, married, widowed, or divorced. It's the only option left.

I am single because the Lord has not yet brought along the man he wants me to marry. I do not believe in dating so I am waiting for the Lord to bring him along and I trust that he will do so in his time In his will I only intend to "date" one man- that is my future husband

I hope that I am able to find another soul that God has created and intended for me to have as a soul mate. Until then, I am happy within myself and being single and will live each day of my life to the fullest!

I'm single because of bad timing, bad matches, and it apparently just isn't the right time for me to be dating right now.
