You wait and pray for a miracle all your life because the other 40 year old virgins told you its the only way. This wont ever happen. This is the most pathetic mind state. Dating should be as natural as breathing. I was once like you too. I think so many Christians have trouble dating, is because they are Christian. They think conflict is evil. Those who always avoid conflict at any cost are called beta males. Those who stand up to conflicts are called alpha males. In nature only alpha males reproduce, not usually beta males. Thats why they say nice guys finish last. Also you probably look like crap.
But a Christian man is to conduct himself in a proper manner,and some might like the single life better in today's world,for so many people talk improper,immoral behavior,too much in to money,and selfishness,and behavior that is not God approved.
People can call Christians a wimp for the way that they behave that they have to take what people dish out,and not retaliate according to the flesh,and can be hard at times,at least to verbally lash out at them,especially when you are called the eighth wonder of the world,and a bad ass,for physical strength,and endurance,and when I was in the military my friend said,you think you are superman,and I said,no I do not,I think I am spiderman,but we have to endure what the world dishes out,but God said do not worry about it for one day they will know who was really the toughest on the block,which the Bible says the world will persecute the mighty and holy people one day,and when God puts them down they will be ashes under the souls of their feet.
Of course there is a lot of hypocrites,and we might sin and put a butt whipping on someone,but hey we can repent.
That is how it is with a lot of men claiming Christ,that maybe they do not push too hard,and try to be a gentleman,and only go by their needs,and not their wants,helping the poor,and not looking for sex,but a good date to have fun,and act in a way that might not be pleasing to women in today's world in what they want.
And the Bible says in the last days they shall be despisers of those that are good,so a lot of women might not be interested in the good guy image to the extent of a Christian.
The chances of having sex is greater than the chances of having a relationship,and the dog gets it the most,and some women will put up with abuse as long as the man makes good money.
Years ago you basically knew what you were going to get when you got married,for people basically behaved along the same lines,and before money started flowing like a raging river,but today it is a gamble,and everybody is on their best behavior when they first get together,or else no one would ever get together,and the flaws do not come out until later,and then it is like why didn't you give me a heads up.
Hey Matt she smiled at you,someone might say,but I say,what does that mean,for everybody smiles at the beginning,and getting a date should be easy,for how can it be hard.
But being single is peaceful,serene,relaxing,and a better benefit for the mind,and freedom,and I do not mind going on a date,but I cannot do marriage 7 days a week,for that is too much for me,which 2 days a week is better,but that will not work.
There is no physical contact,or language,between a man and a woman that is intimate at all.No kissing,no hugging,no holding hands,no language,no contact in an intimate way,and all saints are brothers and sisters to one another.
There is no such thing as the term boyfriend and girlfriend in the Christian world,for to say that a woman is a girlfriend is to imply that there is something going on between them that is not going on with them and the other saints,which cannot be so.
If a person is single but does not cry about it,then it is what they want,but if they are single and crying about it,then what is holding them back.
