I'm a 26 year old guy, and it seems like its impossible to find someone with similar beliefs who wants the same things out of this life. I'm getting tired of people wanting all of the material things that brings instant gratification. Women my age are into a lot of the things that I just can't get into (all of the things that tv and pop culture teach them to want). Is there something wrong with me? I'd much rather spend a weekend up at our cabin without all the modern technology than going out partying all weekend. I try to be a family oriented person but it's hard to do that these days when it's uncool to spend time with siblings and parents instead of going out and getting wasted.
It's extremly tempting to have a one night stand and act like I don't care. I'm a relationship guy for sure, rather than a hook up guy, which seems to be the exception these days.... And don't even get me started on finding a good Christian girl I'm from a small town but live within a half hour hour of a major university (top 10 party schools.. Ugh). My weekend use to cons insist of going down to state st. And having a "good" time. Thankfully I've matured over time and have come to the realization that i want more out of life than just a good time. I want to live a "good life" a productive, loving, god fearing life. Which seems like the exact opposite of what most men my age want.
I guess my biggest frustration is waiting for the "right one" to come along. It's tough in this day and age where sex is so prevalent among my generation. Thankfully my faith has helped me, now I have faith that eventually, god will send me my one and only, but it is tough having to wait. I see people getting married left and right (including my little sister, to a great guy) and sometimes I do get jealous.
I'm sorry to keep rambling on so I'll wrap this up..
Is anyone else going through this, or does anyone have any advice?? Any good bible passages dealing with love or finding the one would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Have a great day!!
