When I was your age, I was single and didn't want to get married. I truly liked being single.
Not the same thing as I never wanted to date.
Here were my criteria for who I wanted to date:
-- tall
-- skinny. (Not just thin. Downright skinny.)
-- Christian.
-- played the acoustic guitar.
-- within three years of my age.
-- white collar job.
-- sure of himself.
-- no addictions.
-- didn't like sports.
One year later I was married to a guy who had just given up bodybuilding four years earlier to pursue running, and gave that up a year before we met because it rained for a few days, and he was too busy getting stoned then. (Ends up he quit getting stoned 10 days before we met, and told me 15 years after we were married that he was an alcoholic, so he was going to quit drinking. Surprised me. I knew he got drunk with the guys once a month. Didn't know he was an alcoholic, until he talked to me about this.) He's nine years older than I am, his best weight is 240, but he's been much bigger than that, has no skills at all with a guitar (but loves listening to the blues on guitars), was a blue collar worker, until he broke his back, and then he got into the computer field, was married, had two kids, and divorced, so couldn't be less sure of himself if he tried. Oh! And he was a boxing/Flyers/Eagles/Phillies fan. (I've since got him to drop the Flyers. Gave him a choice for one sports season at any given time of the year, so he preferred boxing to Flyers. The Phillies became bad enough that we both dropped Phillies fan. lol)
He's got "tall" and he has "Christian" going for him.
Lessoned learned: Try not to tell God who you want, because he tends to give you who you need!
