I feel like certain aspects of several boxes apply to me, but no one single box best defines me.
I've had 2 adult relationships my entire life (I'm painfully introverted). Although I had high standards, I accepted both guys for who they were. Both were long term serious relationships that obviously ultimately failed. My standards are high in that I want a husband who knows, pursues, and loves Christ. I want someone who will lead by example. But, I also have a doctoral degree and so I'd like someone with the same or similar degree. At age 37, especially where i live, this is nearly impossible to find.
I do believe that the Lord does want me to be married with children. But this time of solitude, I've come to learn and (via kicking and screaming) accept, is a time of refinement and personal development in my relationship with Christ. So I'm actually content with being single b/c I know that He will bring my husband to me.

I don't attract most people. I'm not totally ugly. I'm probably too quiet, too much of a loner. I don't have friends. I'm not the type to make them because most people are poor friends or have little similar interests. I live at home, I smoke. I'm not built like a rugby player, I'm a Christian, I don't drink and I'm not very chatty, funny or forward. I suppose feeling put down by nearly everyone for 30years+ also gives a confidence stigma. So I just give up. There's not many people to choose from either.

The kind of who enjoys being single, love being single, who can wait for God's chosen one for me. When suddenly, just about handing my fare on the jeep, someone bumped my arm, looking to see who it was.. my crush, oh, suddenly ask God to please hurry up. Kidding 
No greater love like His love so I will always desire for His love and wait for His perfect time.

I'm the kind of single that has no hope, no expectations, and reminds myself not to dream of finding love because it's just a setup for pain and humiliation like it has been for most of my life (except for those few years in my 20's when I actually got a lot of attention from women).
Next question!

When my last serious relationship ended, I would have described myself as "brokenhearted and afraid to love again"; but as I was contemplating how to answer the poll, I realized that I have become a "happy single" who is not afraid to be single. It was awesome to realize how far I have come! Prayer and time really can heal. Thanks for posting this poll and helping me to realize this, Tinkerbell725!

I'm the single kind of single the kind of single where you are honestly single because you are simply single until you are no longer single so until I'm no longer single I'll just have to be single until I can finally no longer be single by having a single girl friend and in time have a single wedding to where we both will be as one having a single mind and a single common mission, to serve God with honesty and without shame steadfastly until we are single once more,hopefully in heaven,what a singularly great way to,live and die,and for a singularly great reward "Everlasting Life"!!!!!!
