You know I used to think I was fine being single but lately it has been a deep yearing in my heart to find someone but alas a cuddle bug like me may be destined to be alone I don't know surely there must be a reason my heart feels this way and it just kind of came out of nowhere. oh and for all who think they are not good enough not pretty enough not interesting enough not enough in general let me assure you that you are I can promise that
You will find dear Trust our Father

Hi
How are you? I’m new here and it’s my pleasure meeting new friend to share his word with and more if God willing. I do believe as a believer we’re not alone in this world no matter our situation and conditions. The Lord’s with us.
God Himself gave us the desire so no matter how no matter how strong we are some days feel different.

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.
Thank you

Whenever someone implies I should be grateful for being single because it would bring me closer to God, they have no idea how the core of my being boils over that. It takes all I have not to scream in response, "I've only loved one woman in my life that way, and it's been almost 20 years! My heart and mind are so crazy, not hating or blaming God for that every day has become a conscious choice!"
Please b patient and wait on the Lord . U r very precious to Him and He wants to make sure that when He gives u to her and her to u , that u r both ready for what will happen ❤️ Life is so much about timing and God's timing is perfect . Just go about your business being u , a good Christian , grow love in your heart through Him and His Word , show that love every day and every where that u go and u will get it back . There is someone out there who God made just for u and when the time is right Hr will put u together . Patience , and trust in Him .

Oh my dear I can feel your frustration and I sympathize with you. Please I think you got stock at the first love, open your heart to other women and my dear its not a sin to ask them out. please ask them out and don't over think it.
If I was a man I would be asking girls out. one refuses I move to the next. I know men like ladies who look like Nicki Minaj but just go for it. I encourage you

Y'all use the slang "Basket case" what does it mean.
Hi Edith, basket case refers to a person who is anxious and often a little crazy. It can be a general condition (like, Sally is always such a basket case) or a temporary one...... like "planning my wedding turned me into a real basket case".

It is a longstanding joke that men can never figure out what women want. But women never can figure out what men want either. The difference is that men know they are clueless, while women are very certain they know what men want, and are completely wrong.

This is fortunate for the cosmetics industry, as they have made a large fortune selling women products to make them look like what they THINK men want.

But no, most men I know don't want someone who looks like... Whatever that name was you said.

GAH! I just googled that name. You think we men want THAT?!

She looks like she would be incredibly unimpressed with anything you do.

If that is what you girls really think of us guys? You honestly have that low an opinion of us?

Truly that is the general thought. But can you teach us a bit of what men want and we are sure to apply that.

Somebody who is universally kind to people would be nice.

"A person who is kind to you but rude to the waiter is not a kind person."

Looks don't matter nearly as much as you women think they do. And then y'all get upset when we don't notice that you changed something about your looks...

There is an old saying that actions speak louder than words. They also speak louder than hairdos and makeup. At least for the guys I know.

Your mileage may vary though, depending on where you live. I live in West tennessee. In California I'm certain your makeup job matters a whole lot more.

I absolutely do Not find her attractive. So definitely not all men find her attractive.

She grew up in Queens (NYC) as did I so I always support entertainers that come from that borough: Adrian Brodey (The Pianist), the original members of KISS, LL Cool J (Around the Way Girl), Howard Stern, Ray Romano, Jon Favreau (Chef, Swingers), Carol Alt, etc. - even Donald Trump!

She's colorful, but I guess she has to be as an entertainer. One of the things I've always liked about her is that she is very good to children, always encouraging them to stay in school. As she did - she actually got into the very competitive Fiorello La Guardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts and graduated from it.

But anyway, she finally got married and she is now all about her little boy!







He is SO CUTE!

In terms of singleness, @Wait4Me, @Joshua_Belyeu - While you wait for the right one to come along, try to enjoy life with God - it will make your waiting much more fun. That's how I see things. When I saw that God wasn't sending anyone my way (mainly because I love my freedom too much and would probably end up in divorce), I figured, why should I wait to be happy when I get married when I'm probably not going to at all??? I can be happy with God now!

If you're happy with God, you will be able to have a clearer view of where God and your future spouse should stand in your life - where God MUST ALWAYS come first and then everything else after Him. So maybe that's why it's taking a bit a wait for you? Maybe you have to learn to keep God first in your life?
