You let go? You don't fight?

What is there to fight? You become content that God is enough. If it is His will for you to be with someone, He will make it happen. Its in His time. Not our own. Be still and know that He is God. :)

Don't get me wrong being single is fun but everyone needs someone especially when you're matured enough to handle a relationship

No, real maturity is when you recognize you don't Need anyone, that you just Want someone.

what happened with me is i became content with the season in my life. i wasn't actively searching for a relationship anymore. to be honest, i was pretty much preparing myself to remain single for the rest of my life. not in a "nobody wants me" mentality. i was more in the "there are things to do." :eek:

Hi all. I just joined CC. My name is Laura, 31
Well, being a woman, 31, and single...I do feel desperate sometime haha but somehow life offers a lot of fun in other aspects. I learn that it is ok to feel "desperate"...as long as you pray on it and have friends to make fun of it together :-D

So pray desperately to Jesus for a spouse, but dont act desperate ;)

I once heard a preaching. When women are 20 they have a big list with demands. Once they're thirty it's: Lord just give me a man!!

i feel lucky enough to have experienced love, and it's great. The best. But it didn't work out. Maybe it'll happen again, maybe not, but I want to make the most out of whatever time I have here cultivating the existing relationships I have with my family and friends, serving God, seeing the world, and collecting great experiences.

Perhaps I don't have the 2.5 kids and the white picket fence, but I'm about to turn 30 with a tiny apartment I love, a sweet little dog, plans to visit 2 countries this year, hopefully more next year, and the flexibility to engage in my many, perpetually evolving interests. it's may not be the traditional life plan for many folks, but I'm more than okay with it

Remember when you were young and couldn't wait to grow up and do whatever the heck you wanted? (Which admittedly might have entailed staying up all night reading, watching cartoons, and eating a lot of potato chips) This is it! You're grown up! You dont need permission to do things! Exclamation points!

Does it get lonely sometimes? Absolutely. I'd be lying if I said no. It would be nice if I didn't have to be my own cheerleader all the time. But I'm not willing to compromise on the love I want for the sake of being in a relationship and I'm not willing to waste valuable time waiting in a locked tower for a prince.

I think I shared this on here once, but just something to consider:

"Five Regrets of the Dying" by Bronnie Ware

My cousin ended up marrying someone last year because she felt like this so called "panic stage" you're referring to. However, I honestly believe that she is not truly happy with him.

Thanks to you all. The thing is I don't have friends either. We all left the church last year due to our different work demands. I am also planning to visit another country this year alone. Hopefully I would find great friends again to bond with.

I'm sure you'll find more. It only took me moving to the other side of the world to start making friends. In terms of also being single and almost 30, I'm not afraid in the least. I'm just as happy by myself as I would be with a significant other.

You can run for Presidency here in the USA at age 35...I've always thought that was pretty cool!
