I live in a rural area and I work alone, I can't meet any women because there's no place to meet any. I don't bother with online dating, I tried it, it just doesn't work for me.

Everyone on online dating is either: a fake scammer, or a 2 holding out for Brad Pitt.

I'm single because I have more baggage than United Airlines.

That's great! So do like United Airlines and lose a little of it every day. :D

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! (personal experience)

But in all seriousness, having few dating opportunities is sometimes a good thing. It's better if, if the right one comes along, God and she monopolize my heart.

I haven't met the right guy yet. And I have only little exposure to contexts where there are Christian single guys around my age.

I don't really believe in soulmates or that a certain partner is predistined for me.

I don't know if I'll ever get married. I want to! But if it's not God's will for my life, I'm ok with that too. And I trust Him to give me sufficient grace and to help me use my single life for His glory.

I'm not certain if God plays matchmaker or not but He will certainly search and find a loving and faithful man of your heart's desire if this is what you truly want. I met my wife on this site so anything is possible. It's been quite an adventure so far. Many such journey's are possible for those so inclined and willing to act when the opportunity arises. You just never know who you're going to meet.

Some people choose to be single. Some people are looking for that special someone. And some people need a little help from God.

:D

I'm single because God has ordained me to be so in this season of life. This isn't my choice but I have to live with it. I find that having meaning and purpose, serving in the church, using my gifts, and fellowshipping with Christian friends helps to keep loneliness at bay. I still want to get married but it's not my most important pursuit. Doing God's will is.

I'm single because I got tired of being with a lying, cheating drunk. So, being the precious angel I am I dumped him 2 days before he was going to propose. 5 years of living a lie and I got tired of it. Single since May and happy! :)
Im also pretty sure marriage isn't for me and I'm perfectly ok with that.

Pardon me, Wild, but did u just called urself christian in view of ur quotings "dont put all ur hopes in the future" - isnt the hope of future what we live for? Heaven - the freedom of reality of sin? Or u just dont eagerly wait for the Second Coming and prefer the trials and difficulties in this life..Or may be is the sin that u love and dont want to give it away.. Living for the moment and not giving a thought for later - take the drug now and enjoy the hour. Oh boy, what a stupidity to prefer a passing world.
This man quotes a biblical belief and you twist his statement making him a sin loving drug addict and have the nerve to question whether others are really Christian?
The last few posts I've seen you make have all been the same. Zero in in something, twist it into something not even resembling what was said, make the person out to be some horrid sinner.
This tendency reflects poorly on your own mindset and character, a stark contrast to the name you chose.
