I've been single for over a year and I sometimes need to be reminded that I'm not alone.
There are a few here that struggle a little with being single. I was single when I joined in 2014. Met my future wife about a month later who is also a member. Got married later in the year and have recently celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. You are definitely not alone in this.

I've been single 46 and 3/4 years. You get used to it after a while. Eventually you start enjoying it.

My theory is that if you have to get used to something than that particular something might not be the best of circumstances.
For me, right now, it is the best of circumstances. This may change in the near future. Or it may not. But right now it is what is good for me.

Hi Ally,

Welcome to CC!

We have many other singles here who are waiting and/or living out life as they seek God's will for their lives.

We're glad to have you along for the journey!

We keep each other company by talking in the threads here in Singles, as well as sometimes in Miscellaneous and Family. The other sections get very passionate -- I usually just read along there --but might be something to check out if you're interested.

I hope you'll find some conversations you'll want to join in on and we'll see you again soon. :)

Keeping in one on one conversation with our Lord and Savior fixes this.
Easy to get where His company is appreciated and preferred over mortals, then we must perceive His guidance to go and minister rather than stay in His presence.
He modeled how we are to live, He only did what He saw the Father do, He only said what He heard the Father say.

Was single for a little over 12 years, accepted Jesus as lord and savior almost
11 years ago, started going to church that month, almost eleven years later, that church invites me to become a member. For the last few years, I have been seeking God every day in prayer and scripture reading for an average of three hours a day. Almost three months ago, I crossed paths with a woman on here who checkmarked all of the boxes I was looking for in a marriage partner. Sometimes you just got to believe that God has someone special lined up just for you and it will just happen in His perfect timing.

You're welcome.

I saw on your profile page that you are a huge carousel horse enthusiast. May I ask how that began?

As far as looking for a potential mate is concerned, I suspect that I am not the first person to suggest it, but that can be like a carousel ride. In other words, a lot of activity, and only to find that you were just going in circles the whole time, and that you are now right back where you started.

Anyhow, I am praying that God helps you in your search. Who knows? Perhaps the two of you will ride off into the sunset together one day. On a carousel horse, of course, of course.

You MIGHT need another year just to not be an emotional basket case for a relationship....I know that probably is not something you want to hear....because likely you want a bunch of kids. (Who doesn't eh?)

Don't sweat the small stuff. I know you likely have not looked at dating appliance repairmen....but they are smarter than they look usually.
