Part way between 'I've simply given up looking', 'not praying about it' and 'not interested in a relationship right now'. In my early 20's I really struggled with not having anyone but I eventually gave up, gave it to God and now I'm content in my singleness. That said, I would love to find someone, one day. For now, I just meet new people and grow in the relationships I do have.

This is how I feel About Relationships right now...



Relationships?!
You wanna talk about Relationships?

Lets just say this is a rebuilding year for my franchise. Which frankly hasn't been relevant since 2009. We have no weapons on offense and our defense simply can't stop anybody from running away with the ball.

I'm tired of going into the 3rd quarter down 2 touchdowns, with horrible field position watching from the sidelines as the other team strings together an 8 minute drive to cover the length of the field and put the game out of reach.

So we need to free up some salary cap, hire a new conditioning coach, change the uniforms, and do a much better job of controlling the line of scrimmage.

At this point, I kind of have given up but ever so often, I'll browse the dating sites. I'm open to possibilities, and will go out of my way to talk to someone if I foresee it going somewhere, otherwise I don't care much. If I am single, I'm single. As long as I do something meaningful with my existence, and find contentment in being alone, I am fine with being single.

Jesus doesn't have a spouse his title is Lord of Lords. You bow down to Him. He is King of Kings.

Well first of all this is a very good question. The first step that I am taking is to not let satan make me think that I will never have a spouse because it been a long time since I was ia a relationship. The second step is that I keep an open mind about potential and various types of women to keep my options open. The third step is I pray for strength and stay strong until I am blessed with a spouse. Man should not be alone.

Yep! It was a joke. But I wasn't making fun of the poll. I think it's a legit inquiry and it will be interesting to see where people are on the subject. For me, I take the verse seriously that says, "Be anxious for nothing." I have SO much going on in my life at this point that it honestly doesn't often cross my mind. I'm not actively looking or praying for a spouse, but I haven't given up either. I've been on a date or two and I go to social gatherings, but my attitude about it is pretty much summed up with, "Meh." :D

ROFL.

I used to look a girl in the eye, and say things like, "Come on now, give me an honest answer."
But not anymore.
I'm too frightened.

I didn't believe in praying for a spouse, but I recently started to do it, that is , when I don't forget lol. I had lunch with a lady from church a few weeks ago who told me she prays for her sons' future spouses, and she made me see that most probably, I will get married someday, so why not? If the Lord has willed that I get married, I pray for my husband's walk with the Lord as well as mine. As for ''looking'', I am not purposely looking but I am open to any possibilities, I don't know if that counts as looking.

Pray God leads one.
I dreamt once jesus was talking to me in dream and said he want be my match maker and that he have some one compatible and match for me.


I placed a profile and picture on date site but one must be so cautious.
Lots trolling and some only want to have casual fling and sex despite what you are "looking for" clearly states that is "not you".


Also when some one dooes write they may say "hello" but to get past that first word exchange where one asks "the basics" and to establish a connection of some type can be difficult.

surviving.
try feel better and walk my shadow i shadowed with my full pride of my being.
Try brush hair and even dress and put make up on once a fortnight. :)
( i do not go out much to movies etc as do not have assessed my money ) also when i have gone out to shopping centres i was not treated so nice by some people maybe because of a few woman who slandered , lied etc.


I have been having contact with some one on off for over a year.
He introduced me to catholic church but my main/true son was not so welcome... because of time stolen...
We have had "online" contact one might say but not in person as such.
Not sure where we stand as action speaks louder ... and nothing seems to happen.
years go... month after moth week after week....

Last time we had contact i said no to him because he thought i swap main , a true son working holic look bad but is good just swap for some one who look and feel good but is bad.
My answer was never.
I feel very disappointed.
I only have one in who i am and humble your soul how proud i am of who i am in this.


If I am to have spouse he must not be with those who stole my time etc and im in court with as they are crime ,
(they are pretty populour and well known (became that by cheating and stealing)and even attend church cover up crime and surgery) .
He could not be abusive and then say he is "dominant".Difference between abuse and dominance.
He would have to love a
nd accept me for who and all i am not "swap son" arrogantly or be jealous i make more money or better some areas.
and he would have accept he not to shadow my true son/main because another look like surgery doll steal my time and eon and take credit for my hard work and etc.
Understand each other.


I just not found any one nice because so many want betray you.
Even christian men.
So much money involved and so much involved i cant begin explain here even those normally pros may accept get paid off.


My actions may be try keep trust /faith that there are good laons that would not betray and steal and etc.
Brush hair and dress less ugly (despite not have many clothes)
"doll up with make up maybe once a week" to try keep physical attractiveness as well as pray and be nice in my spirit and intellectual labour to keep my inner beauty alive if not in body as am shadowed then at least in reality as God can see what humans can not .


Maybe try site again.
But be very cautious trolls or those want flings etc.
