GOD didn't allow me to start experiencing guys who were even interested in me until I got to the point where I realized that I don't want just any guy. I want the one GOD has for me. I have had three guys (boys who have not grown up) ask me out and I went on a date with the last one and hated it. The Love of GOD was not present when I was with any of them so what was the point? Dating is the way the world finds soul mates. GOD can use it, but so can satan. He twists it in a way that keeps you busy with finding that perfect mate when GOD already has the one picked out for you and all you have to do is follow your Father and HE will lead you to your other half. Do I desire a man? Of coarse I do, but I am not going to go through a hundred of the wrong guys to get to the right one. Patience sucks, but getting your heart busted because you went your own way instead of waiting for GOD to move is way worse. That is why I am just sticking with my Lord at the moment.
I think mine would have to be that I stopped compromising when it came to my core values (Relationship w/ God, direction of spiritual walk). It's... a lot more difficult than I anticipated. What about you guys??? 
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?
I am single because at this time in my life, I am called to be single. I am not attempting to be overly spiritual here, but honestly, I refuse to settle just to stop being single. I decided a long time ago that I wanted what God had for me and nothing less. No compromises. No excuses. If God wants me single forever, that works for me. If He doesn't, that works for me, too. No rush. No false starts and stops. No dates. Just trusting, seeking, waiting and following. I choose to wait on God, believing that He truly does have a perfect plan and will for my life, and that no matter what, as long as I am with Him, I cannot miss His plan and will.
I am also very happy being single. I am not saying that I don't have moments when I am lonely, but they pass quickly and I am once again content with this season as God works things out in me and teaches me and helps me grow.

I´m single because I like it , and don´t really searching for someone. But when it happens , it happens I believe that , when it´s meant to be , I´ll find someone.

I guess it's pretty much the same for me, last time I was in a relationship (before I understood God's message ) I was an egoistic monster, liar and using people to manipulate people and keep other away from my girlfriend... Yea... I really am not proud of it , but don't judge me, we all make mistakes when we're teen :< ...
Or another major reason is because I'm learning IT and networking in a small french village (so yea, not many girls)
You hit the nail!
There´s a unavoidable and ETERNAL COMPROMISE with God and, a temporal compromise with those who want you o bypass God´s and your restoration or salvation.
I´m thinking I will marry no one. I spent my whole life seeking and it´s too late to seek more: I lack the money and the age is not helping me more, but less. LOVE is not what I thought it was. If I´m taken to eternity, the lesson, the love lesson, will be learned somehow. So I better thank God! I don´t want to live any longer here -particularly in Venezuela (where sin and mediocrity prevail) so I keep on praying for God´s will and NOT MINE:

I'm just not sure about God's will.
I've been single my whole life and never really had gotten into any real relationships due to the fact that I wanted someone... who... was a Christian... I think. I know that I dreamed of love and hoped for it when I was younger. But that kinda fizzled out as I grew older. I did keep my promise to God that I wouldn't get physical with anyone I didn't love as a wife.
But things were somewhat awkward for me in high school, because most of the guys I hung around with were talking about sex and actually counting how many partners they've been with. I didn't really want to get into anything like that because I actually wanted something a little more deeper and romantic.
Nowadays, I'm not so sure that what I hope for falls under His will. As much as I'd like to get to get to know and cherish someone that intimately, I can't be sure if that is what God wants of me.
But as I look around, I rarely see happy husbands or wives from where I'm from. From what I noticed, I see people trying to endure to tolerate each other based on the fact that they are legally bound together. I'm not sure if I want to grow even more bitter and resentful as I get older. That doesn't look like something I'd enjoy. It's tough enough to love with self-abandonment for people now. I'm starting to ramble.. :\

I really don't know why I'm single. Its not by choice. I think about it all the time. I can't figure it out. And I'm good at figureing things out. I noticed that some of you seemed to have given up. Please don't give up. You are deserving of relationship just like anyone else. I know its really hard sometimes when you're waiting. Let's keep the faith that God will give us the desires of our heart. God bless.
