Its good to be content. I always swing from one extreme to the other. Most of the time I'm content with being single but sometimes I feel like I'd give anything just to have someone special in my life.

Content? I'm thrilled with being single! I'm still young, of course I want to settle eventually, but for now I hope that I won't fall in love anytime soon.

Being single gives so many opportunities in life. For example, it is the reason I can go away from home and see the world the next two years on my own. It's something I would never do if I had been hopelessly in love with a girl whose waiting for me alone at home.

I used to crave n cry n pray for a mans love, when I was single. I would find someone and fall to fast , then once I was with them be like , man what did I get myself into.? yea over n over I learned that its better to get to know someone as a friend before taking that jump AAAHHH lol a lil humer. And I also learned that we have to learn to love ourselvs before we can love anyone else ,hurting people hurt people cause its all they know. I have learned through Gods love to be content with myself and wait on him yet still keep my ;) open and enjoy life along my journey.

I think single is good , well obviously I´m still young. But sure I want to settle one day when I fall in love. Sure I want someone special one day , but I have faith in God that I one day will meet that person. And I think that a life with God , eventually u will meet the right one :) Enjoy life , peace .

One day I'll meet a lovely girl, and I'll make her so crazy she pulls her hair out,
and people will look at us and say,
"What a perfect couple."

Hey. I'm new on here. I am a single woman. I have spent the majority of my life alone. I have only had one real relationship in my life and that was when I was going through a rebellious stage. It was a bad relationship for me to have. He was a terrible guy who lead me staying from my friends family and most of all my faith. In the process of me falling I hurt everyone I loved and lost their trust. I think everyone can say that they have fallen at one point or another. The thing is to pick yourself up and get back on the right path, which is what I did. That was 4 years ago. Every now and then I remember that old relationship. I had and wish I could have one, only this time with a good Godly man. One who wants to be with me for me and not for what I can do or provide. Being 26 most of my friends are or are getting married. I know 26 isn't old but I just feel like my life is slipping away and that as my grandma and mother have put it I'm waisting daylight. It is getting hard with each year passing by to stay positive and keep faith that I will be united with that special man. Now I have to help the baby in the family prepare for a very special day. He is proposing to his high school sweetheart in a few weeks. And though I am so very happy for both of them I still wonder if I will ever be as lucky to.find happiness.

I'm fine with being single. However, I'd like someone in my life to share with, help, support, encourage, and all that jazz. Until he shows up, I'm going to go on with my life. :)

Bahaha!

On topic: I feel like I'm often too busy to be discontent. My life is full of what God's doing in/with me, like ministry, friends, kids, teaching, cleaning, cooking and so much more. I'm not saying I wouldn't want a relationship but the lack of one is rarely on my mind as a negative thing that brings discontentment. :)

Remember, joy comes from Him and being/resting IN Him.

You will find someone if it is gods plan for you. You may not see it yet but the time will come one day just keep close to the lord and you will find the right man.

I used to not be content but now I just fee like I am way to busy to have a relationship. With my relationship with God at the helm and all the things I do with my church and bible studies along with school and my pending job, and don't forget the times I get to go out and spend time in fellowship with my close friends from church I do not really have time for a relationship. I hope one day to find a Godly woman (better than all the bad relationships I had when I was falling to my earthly desires) but I trust that one day God will provide me with that right girl.

Pursue a girl, Girls open yourself to be pursued, don't be so serious - if your desire is to be married, that's a good desire, in the meantime, work on your character
