Being single is really boring but I guess God has something greater for me :)

I don't find being single boring, I actually find it more exciting. I get to do the things *I* want to do, without having someone discourage me from doing the things I love. Or having her drag me along to some family social event or theme park that I didn't want to go to anyways. I get to be more adventurous, take risks (sometimes dangerous - within reason), and live life for God. I won't let another person define how exciting my life is. :) Relationships aren't as gooy and gushy as what the media makes them out to be. You're seriously not missing much.

True but still, I would rather be dragged to family events and get to do fun things rather than get stucked inside!

Go out and do street evangelism and outreach, your boredom will go away and you'll get very intimate with Jesus

There's already a problem with your outlook. You view dating as a cure for boredom. You're already approaching relationships with a bad mindset. The 'this is what i expect' attitude or the belief that you need someone to entertain you or to do things with. Why can't it be a friend? Why does it require dating?
And i'm guessing you're 18? Or not much older? Yet seem to believe that God should provide a guy for you to use to cure your boredom? Most Christians approach dating with the mindset of finding a future spouse, not to provide someone with entertainment. God, also, will not provide someone with you for that purpose. Relationships are more serious and more self sacrificing than that. There's nothing you want to do that you can't do with a regular friend.
If you are thinking of dating just to date, with no intentions on marriage, then you're going to have a difficult time finding someone else like that. Or you'll have to lie to people to use them to get what you want.

Far as being shy. I am a pretty shy person myself, but i did street evangelism when i was 15. Not only that i did it on Friday nights in the worst parts of town (not alone obviously). I was not the most outgoing, but i still went. I participated, even if i was quiet more than i spoke. But i went nonetheless.

Being single boring? Ha! Just wait until you have to spend your free time at your mother-in-law's birthday.

I don't mind that, haha, and I get what everyone is saying, I wouldnt just be with someone for the sake of having fun, I would like to have someone who I know I would probably share the rest of my life with, if I wanted someone to do things with that would easier to get but that is not what I'm looking for. Coming from a christian family, it's not just having a bf but having someone who respects me. And I'm just human so I'm allowed to feel lonely and bored sometimes.

Boring, but like people said on here maybe I should try engage myself in a few things, I'm thinking about setting up a web page or facebook page for young new Christians and I can try evangelise in that way since I can't do face to face .

I hd the hunch that that state could be endorsed to someone else and, if a mate cannot pull you out of that boring state, he will not be seen as a good friend or leader.

I have largely seen people do expect someone comes to pull them out from the place where they are...

Evangelism works better person to person, by the way, in real time. There are also risks but that implies Jesus cross too.

This is excellent counsel.

Yeah, being single is boring if you stuck yourself worrying about things like when will you be in relationship. :)
