I am 23 and single.I have never dated any one.Is it kinda weird not having any girlfriend when you get 20's?
I don't know how to put this exactly,According to the bible If a man want to stay single for his entire life he can, as long as he doesn't disobey the law.Well I am perfectly happy being single(I don't like going for a random girl like my friends.I can wait and I want to do it in god's way rather than my way, I don't wanna rush,getting the right person is the most important thing in life) But the problem is, I really don't like the way that other people think about me or people like me.They think like I am incapable of getting a girl even though I am 23 and I wanna know Is this just me who feel like this? or Is there anyone with me?).
I'm being honest, and I'm probably going to step on some toes. But hear me out - I say this out of love, I don't mean to harm you. This is just a man to man conversation.
Your motivation for wanting to get married is wrong. Don't be worried if people think of you as strange if you're single. And don't be down on yourself if you're single. If you want a girlfriend, you have to realize that dating is for marriage in mind. If you don't want to be married, don't date.
Now with that being said, you have to realize that love, dating, and marriage isn't all the media portrays it to be. As men, we have a HUGE responsibility when it comes to marriage, and if you don't fulfill these responsibilities, the Bible calls us "worse than unbelievers" or it says that "our prayers will be hindered." And let me tell you, relationships are NOT easy. It's not all about mushy-gushy feelings for someone and living happily ever after. Eventually, you WILL lose those feelings for your spouse. It happens to everyone (although, the feelings can come back eventually. This is called the 'honeymoon' stage in a relationship if you want to research it). You have to realize that true love happens after those good feelings have passed, because love is not just a feeling, it's an action. Once you realize and experience this, then you are ready for marriage. Sometimes you have to choose to love the other person, even when it hurts.
Don't be deceived brother. Marriage is a great thing. Just be aware that it's not easy and sometimes brings more troubles in your life than if you were single. But if Christ is at the center of the marriage/relationship the whole time, it will all be worth it.
