I haven't been on a date in 37 years. I have a fairly peaceful life. I like it. :cool:

I've been on three dates with the same guy and they were all 7 years ago. But I'm really happy and couldn't care less. In fact, I prefer to be single at the moment. I have way too much on my plate right now.

14 on my birthday in August. Been a long time. Just thought I'd share that. It doesn't bother me. I'm used to it. I love God and know there is purpose in it. Good purpose.
Okay, then, I'm going to do something I've never done before.

I know this isn't a date site, unless you include the ones that like to argue about the age of the earth, or when Jesus is returning, but here goes.....

I'd like to go on a date with you.

Anywhere you want to go,
anytime, no strings attached.

You believe in Jesus, ... I believe in Jesus.
You like to read the bible, ... I like to read the bible.
You seem to have a heart for strange animals, ...
I AM a strange animal.

There. Sounds perfect.
Sounds like fun.
What could possibly go wrong?
No pressure.
You have til midnight.
(I'm not withdrawing the offer,
That's just when I turn back into a pumpkin,
and I'll have a harder time reading your reply)

Seriously, if it's God's will, and barring a miracle
(which I'm still hoping and praying for)
I expect to be single for a while longer.

Bring your aardvark, he looks like fun. :)
Sincerely yours indeterminately, nuttles.
Okay, I hoped she knew I was only kidding around, but it seems not, since I've gotten no like or reply and I seem to have scared her off. (even with that guardian-aardvark she's holding)

Plus I realized her above post could be mis-interpreted that she was 14, so I withdraw the offer for impropriety sake. Sorry.
I'd never find mississippi anyway, and I already have the delta blues.:cool:
I better leave the thread.

I don't see anything wrong with it if you are fine with how your life is going. You say you don't do anything to treat yourself, but do you at least spend time with friends, or have any hobbies?

No worries. You're spirit comes through loud and clear, and it is of God.

I do that too. It gets awkward during the goodnight kiss though..


Haha no really, I do treat myself once in awhile... I know that if I don't do it, nobody will...
My brother wrote a poem once for my English class, he helped me out.

I don't love nobody
nobody but me
I'm just like Narcissus,
Narcissus you see
I shake myself hands and I'm kissing the mirror
My mom thinks I'm crazy
but that is an error

Yeah only dates you can get here is about a new earth.
Is it called an aardvark?
Aardvarken is a Dutch word.
Coleslaw also comes from Dutch: koolsla. It should be cabbage salad. This has absolutely nothing to do with the topic but I'm bored.

Americans are way too picky. Don't even want to fly an ocean to date me. Too much effort.
Ha well you don't know what you're missing. I'm amazing.

No, not really. Work. Stay home doing Bible things. I do go out and do some things but not for the purpose of treating myself.
I think you should try to do so. It will be a new experience and enjoyable. GOD gave you this beautiful life, so enjoy all it offers.

I actually have a friend who does that and she absolutely loves it.
I do it often! I love it and always laugh at all the people worried I was stood up!!!! HAHAHA You have to truly love yourself and enjoy yourself before you can truly love someone else!

Well thanks for sharing! Do you date yourself? As in you go out and do things with you..a dinner...a movie...a walk on the beach...a vacation?
I actually have a friend who does that and she absolutely loves it.
I've never thought of it as "dating myself," but I do this. Basically, you have two choices if you are single--avoid doing things because you might have to do them alone, OR do them alone.

If I want to do something--go out to eat, see a film, take a vacation, etc.--and there's no one to do it with, I just do it alone. I've had lots of my married friends think that I'm super-brave and say, "I could never go to a movie by myself." (Seriously...a movie? You can't sit in the dark with people you don't know to watch a movie?) I think it's pragmatic, not brave. It doesn't take courage to sit in a restaurant and be served a meal by other people.

Dating is over rated.
I am a happily divorced Christain man.
Single 10years.
Happier than ever.
Drama free life.
I don't believe in re-marrying.
So I don't date.
