wife was unfaithful for several years, there's only so many second chances one person can have.

I can relate to you and more than every emotion you are going through, it is one of the hardest things to ever overcome. Keep your faith in God.

I am praying for you :sorry:

I am single as I have no reason to be in a relationship.

There is nothing wrong with being happy in being single! That is sometimes the best way to be, you learn more about yourself than you ever had before, many strengths that come noticed.

I am blessed/cursed with an amazing personality, wit, and dashing good looks. I sometimes can't help but stare at myself in the mirror for hours upon hours. I must be too intimidating for the ladies.

I hear you on that brother. I truly am Gods gift to the world. The only problem.... So is everyone else :p

Real reason is ive comprised my beliefs for women in the past and now i want a relationship with Jesus. However, I would like to meet some CHRISTIAN girls. Just havent found many i connect with yet.

I know the things about me that the men I've met don't like and therefore cause me to be single. I don't know God's reason in keeping me single for the last *cough* years, but if I'm being mature about it I can say that I don't need to, and that everything is in His timing.

To the sort of side discussion going on in here: I think a large part of being content with being single is self-esteem. If you're secure in who you are and your worth, then you can realize if you're "ready" or not, and just enjoy life with or without someone special by your side.

That's not said from too much experience, though. I know all too well how easy it is to fall into the trap of equating your relationship status with self worth. Thinking that since no one wants to date you that you must no be worth anyone's time. Or worse, wanting to date someone but being rejected by them and thinking that means you are not worthy as a girl/boyfriend to anyone.

I'm slowly becoming convinced that no one is "doomed" to singleness, though, but rather some people are simply more complicated than others and require a higher degree of compatibility, which combined means the process of finding someone is a little bit longer and more tedious.

Enjoying life while being single and being content with being single are two completely different things. I do enjoy my life. My life is great, in fact. So I want someone with whom I can share it. It would be rather a waste of a great life if I kept it all to myself, wouldn't it? Well, I have friends who can share it - but there is a much deeper level of sharing that does not occur under simple friendship.

An excellent point. :thumbsup: I suppose I am not in the same place, so I didn't think of it that way.
