Hi kenyanrose, i have thought about reacting on your post or not but i feel like i should. Please know that i am aware of the fact that i really have not much experience in waiting long for that someone special to come around and being alone for a long time etc. But i kind of get the feeling that you are really in need of getting in contact with that someone to share your life with. And i do know that life can be very lonely on your own. And i have felt pain on the moments that you'd really wish there was someone to share it with you, good times or bad times (mostly during the bad times though). But please think about the way you want to go to find that godly man. And i am not sure if you will get in contact and in a relationship with a godly man this way. This website is not specially meant for people who are looking for a relationship. It does happen that people become friends and that their friendship turns into more but i dont think that it will when you look at the godly men around here with the focuss to become more then friends.
Keep going to Lord when you are lonely and bring your longing to Him. He knows your pain, He knows how much you need the strength, comfort, love and care that can be found in a relationship. But He also wants you to trust in Him and to keep reminding Him and believing in His promises written in His Holy Word. I am not going to tell you that He will make sure that you'll meet someone to share your life with - in His time. I dont know about that. But the Lord knows. Ask Him for patience, trust, believe and the strength to live your life in the way He wants you to, even if its not how we want it to be. I struggle with that a lot, but all this struggling and the pain i go through has teached me a lot of important lessons about the Lord. It brings me closer to my Father every time. He is forming me and only hurts me during so when its needed to make something beautiful, something good. The only reason that its hurts sometimes when the Lord is shaping us to His image, is because we attached things that made us look less like Him and made sure it sticked like ducktape. The Lord makes us beautiful, like His image again by pulling those things out of our lives, minds and hearts.
Maybe/probably i am totally wrong with how i interpreted your question. Dont hesitate to tell me. And i really hope that if you are looking for a godly man to have a relationship with, know that i wish you the best man on the entire earth. I really do
May the Lord bless you in every possible way kenyanrose.

Yes, i know. I have said that repeatedly myself. But isn't really the point i was making.
You've been on the site less than a week. People are assuming she's seeking a mate because those of us who have experience on this site know that 99% of these posts are looking for mates. New users always get in a huff about the way long term members respond to certain types of posts, that is until they gain experience themselves and realize we actually knew what we were doing because they come to learn what we know.
I also find it no coincidence that she's seeking a man in the traditional age range for a spouse. Why not a 30 year old if it's just advice? Why only men fitting in her age range? Or 25 year old? What dramatic difference is there for advice from a 30 to 35 year old?

You know I don't care if the OP is looking for a date, seeking advice, or wanting something else. All anyone had to do is point out this isn't a dating site or ask for clarification about the OP's specific need if it was other than dating. It seems people in singles have gotten so hardened to people that they are bothered by this. Simply correct the person if you want and move on. Mocking the person, poking fun at them, and getting your rocks off on their decision to make an unwelcome thread does not look any better than the one who solicits dates.
