I am single as I choose to be. Don't get me wrong I go on dates often. However I KNOW I have a hard time trusting and if after a few dates I just feel like it won't go any where we simply go our separate ways. I know that one day one of these dates I will feel God's love and see a Godly man and then I know this is what God intended. If you do not get out there and ask and talk, like Bruce said he isn't going to just show up some day. My Cousin was 36 before she finally listened and asked a guy out. Two years later they were married. He is an awesome Godly man, just was shy like her. Pray and have faith that your day will come and have courage to approach someone if you would like to get to know them.
Dates? Plural? I don't know what a date is, really. (Shy's too shy of a word for me, lol)
I may have had dinner with someone like thirty years ago, but I don't know if that constitutes a date. And it seems like these days you can't even look at a woman in public, let alone approach one, or they're ready with the pepper spray, and church isn't the 'appropriate place' to be thinking 'those things', you're always reminded that you're supposed to be God-focused, and so I feel like who the bible describes as having 'eyes full of adultery that can't cease from sin' and Jesus says if you look at a woman with desire you've committed sin, so I'm a little perplexed why He made so many so beautifully desirable, but I guess if it's His will it's His will, so I wait til now I'm too old and not wanted. What was a christian guy supposed to do? Being alone stinks, it makes this whole existence rather pointless. I thought joining a christian social media site would help bring friendship in a closer way and change some of that, but at times it makes it worse by emphasizing the isolation, there are so many threads about this, and I see so many young, happy ppl, I don't get their being single. To answer the OP, I don't know if it's God's fault, it's just a sign of the times, I guess, but I can't understand why so many young, good-looking, desirable ppl have this complaint. I see why I'm unwanted, but for most ppl out there, it doesn't make sense to me. Just go for friendship while you're young and don't abandon in times of struggle or weakness, be quick to forgive and love like you mean it, it's not a game and being old and lonely really hurts.
I sincerely hope you didn't just LITERALLY cut yourself. And Corrie ten Boom had a HORRIBLE life.. Being single doesn't mean you have a horrible life, coby. And if you actually DID just cut yourself, then please get some help for yourself.
