Is there anyone out there that does not allow themselves to get involved in a romantic relationship? If so, why?
 
Sort of. I'm not against relationships. But, at the moment, I'm not sure if I want one or not. So, until/unless that changes, I think it would be a very bad idea to get involved with someone.
 
If I fall for them, they will know my secret. And if they know my secret, my enemies will use that and her against me. I have to live a life of solitude, because what I do, and who I am cannot be known.
 
I'm not getting involved in romantic relationships because God has made it clear that He has other plans for me: to support and help build up many women, not just one. Too much time is required to truly do that while in a romantic relationship.

How will you go about doing that?
 
Any way that is needed. So far it's been primarily a matter of developing strong supportive friendships with several christian single mothers. I spend a lot of time listening to them, praying for them and giving them as much guidance as I can. I've supported them financially when it was required and made myself available whenever they were in need. Recently I've met several new christian women seeking to know God, or just struggling christian women, into my life. I've been able to share a lot about God's love and a more practical approach to who God is, and what this christianity thing is really all about.

First, it is not the Lord's Will for me i have always had the desire to be married to give all i am and the Agape the Lord has given me to a wife that's was my greatest desire second, while waiting for His timing for His calling that He has revealed to me i do not have time on this earth, my life is short on this earth therefore i could not consider myself for any romantic or marriage relationship. The work the Lord is preparing me for in the workng of the Latter Rain is too close to coming so i have been asked by the Lord to deny myself take up my cross and follow Him, my race to my finish line is close at hand. I am excited i have waited for 36 years

How did God make it clear to you and why are women the focus or your ministry? Just curious.

Astonishing, may God continue to bless you in your work for Him.

Partially because it's always been the way it is. I've never been the most attractive guy, or mister personality. I'm pretty plain all around and yet since I was in elementary school I have been surrounded by women. For a while I took advantage of it. Through this process I have certainly been less than perfect. I've learned some very hard lessons, and sadly hurt some people who were really close to me in the process. And yet I find that they come. With their questions, their concerns, their doubts.

I've been pursuing a really great girl for a while now. Recently a sermon really struck home. I would have done just about anything to be with her. She had become too important; through that, i refocused on God's will and discovered great peace.

I'm not sure if this answers your question or not.
 
For the past 1.5-2 years I avoided them like the plague, but that has changed very recently.
 
I used to, but from a recent job I've learned that you never really achieve anything noteworthy with people unless you throw everything against the wall and see what sticks.

Yes, you answered my question. Its a delicate path that you walk. It takes extreme dicipline to minister to women and to avoid the pitfalls of satan. God bless you.

It wasn't until I embraced it as God's will for me to minister to them that I really was able to avoid those pitfalls. I'm not going to claim I'm perfect yet, but doing it for more than "just her" is very empowering. I've found that when I focus on the grand scheme everything else just fades into the background. But yes, I've made enough mistakes to be very wary even still.
