That's pretty sad. And it's not normal. Your body is biologically programmed too be attracted too someone. If your never had any romantic attraction to anyone I suggest seeing a professional.

And its the fairy-tale expectation that causes so many to be single. Or, at the least, to think marriage is some magical endeavor. If Cinderella were real, I'm sure her and Prince Charming would be all over the tabloids about problems in their marriage. lol

Dumped by my only love.
I think it really was because I became a Christian. She couldnt stand it even though I never forced it upon her.
She was very open inded until it came to Jesus.
She loved when men gazed upon her.

Just realized the irony of the thread title.
Why we still single?
Not 'Why am I still single'.
Not, 'Why are YOU still single'.
But, why are WE (plural, we, us) WE still single?
Indeed.
WE have got to get it together. :)

I had a random thought today as I carried on with my chores. If I were to write a dating ad, it would sound like I was trying to offload a POS onto someone through Craigslist.

Decent utility vehicle that's had a few owners and has exceedingly high mileage for it's age. Needs new shocks, steering rack, tie rods, tie rod ends, ball joints, brakes, bearings. Could use a tune-up and the transmission needs work. No creature comforts to speak of - A/C is on the fritz, seats are uncomfortable, and the stereo only has one crappy 6x4 speaker in the dash. Paint faded, chipped, and it's kind of rusty. Vehicle needs a LOT of prodding to get started in the morning, but once it gets running, it's hard to shut down. Temperamental vehicle - it creaks, groans, whines, clunks, and shimmies at every bump in the road or every unplanned turn. You'd probably be better of walking or riding a bike, but this vehicle can haul sheets of plywood, so there's that, which is nice. Come on by and kick the tires.

Maybe i am not yet ready to have a relationship again, for the meantime i am enjoying to be single, to be free.
Schedules are sometimes tight. I´ve often times heard man should not be alone the same way to woman, but if i have to much high expectations to find a ideal partner maybe i would not find him then. But God said, Ask and he shall receive, Seek and he shall find, knock and it shall be open unto you. The reason i don´t get it because i am not asking.

Just sharing my thoughts. Have a blessed day

After many failures and misfires, I told the Lord if He wanted me to have a soulmate He could drop her in my lap whenever He saw fit, and the Lord actually did just that, I met my betrothed when she literally came out of the blue, and introduced herself, it's been awesome ever since.

So my thought process is this; in the Lord's timing, not ours :rolleyes:

I have this low self esteem thing from abandonment as a kid. I tend to look for women with issues because I like to be helpful, and once I got a hero complex going. It doesn't matter how much I do, the fear of them leaving is what I resort to to push them away or accept a loss.
I compensate with sarcasm and optimism to friends and strangers. Well anyway this is my first post

Wow this post started sometime in June and still going on. Everybody likes to use some sort of explanation to be single.

I'm very shy, low self esteem and it's a conspiracy I tell you (just joking I'm not mental). I just have fear of rejection so I don't try, I probably should though

I've been waiting on God to send me the right one guy However am not sitting around and twidling my thumbs and waiting on him I stay busy in Ministry and working. In the back of my head I figured I should get used to the idea of content mentioned and live my life out as an spinster.

I have a great Sunday school class with female teenagers that keep me busy. I kind of believe that may be the Lord left me to be single so I can help these young ladies I have a part-time job at a mental facility working with teenagers so who knows how the Lord works.

So you are waiting on Him by serving others (picture a restaurant for a moment) while you are waiting on Him for that right guy. That's always been my mindset: To get on with what He wants me to do while I wait on Him. You can accomplish so much in the interim.
