You probably would enjoy it. For dinner you could bake your honey a loaf of your exceptional sourdough bread to go with her specialty made just for you.

Will "pull a loaf out of the freezer" do? I don't bake every week or even every month. I bake 30-ish loaves at a time and freeze it.

No no no, it's not a deliberate effort to keep women away. It's all about efficiency, comfort and quality of life. All the stuff I need is in the car... somewhere... and I don't have to bother with organizing it because I know where what I need is when I need it. It's a carefully planned system of optimal resource positioning to maximize...

Okay it's sheer indolence and indifference. But WHO CARES?! I'm single!

That is too funny! My house was always nice and clean. However, I kept my desk in my office exactly like that, so much that the owner would come in and nose around looking for some invoice. Asking me how I could ever find anything. I asked what paper work he needed and, BAM, here it is. (My desk was my
business lol.) Anyhow, you reminded me of the good ol' day's...

Yeah, that would do quite well.

About the freezer though, during my care-free single years, when I got home from work I would open the freezer, and without even looking in it the first thing I grabbed was dinner.

Seriously, I am impressed with your bread baking endeavors and also that you donate a lot of them tasty loaves.

For a single guy you have a tremendous amount to offer if you ever reach a point where you are so inclined. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being single either. After my divorce I was celibate and alone for 18 years before meeting and marrying my late second wife. In the end, I was weary of doing the same thing each and every day, sleep, go to work, go home, eat, read or watch TV and go to bed. Loneliness finally got to me. It got to me again after my second wife died.

You know the rest of the story.

It's not a matter of being inclined. It's a matter of having a reason. I have to have a reason to do anything. I can't even work out for the sake of exercise - I have to have a reason, like biking to my job. (And that works very well for cutting down the ole gut, let me tell you! Fourteen miles of Tennessee hills on a bicycle, then a shift on the job, then fourteen miles back will trim you down in a month.)

I was rocking Windows 7 up until just a few weeks ago, because it works for everything I need. The only reason I got Win10 was because it was what my new music-making computer happened to already have installed on it. Yeah it works pretty well, but Win7 was doing the same job. I don't upgrade just to upgrade, I only upgrade for a reason. Shoot, I was on Windows XP until somewhere around 2012 or 2014. Stayed with it for the same reason, switched to Win7 for the same reason - it happened to be on the computer I bought.

So it's not a matter of whether I'm inclined to be married or not. It's a matter of whether I know a lady who I want to marry. And right now I don't. When I meet her, my inclination will change. Until then I am inclined to remain single for the same reason I am inclined to stay with Win10 - it is doing everything I need right now.

 

[zeroturbulence]

Lol. I guess there are some benefits to being single. I’m an introvert and I know that I need a considerable amount of time to myself, to think and read. I’m a writer and a nature photographer and that’s typically a solo experience. I’m ok with that. I just have to trust that the guy God pairs me with will understand that and support me.

That's cool! I'm a nature photographer too and in my head I'm a writer.

Aparently, it's a Win - Win situation.

I want to say that most of all right now I want someone to talk to on a daily basis. I want a witness to my life, support and encouragement that goes both ways. I’m sensitive, nurturing, kind and a lifetime learner.

I identify with this lol

It is amazing all the various oddments that can be kept in a vehicle...a spare room of sorts. Even when married, I would prefer to have a "utility vehicle" that contains all the essentials.

Day at the lake? Check.
Snowed in? Check.
Forgot food to work? There's peanuts and water...check.
Happen to randomly want binoculars for something? check.

So many random things that are accessible with a completely tolerable 15 foot search, what's not to like?


Edit: and I feel ya on the windows xp and 7 ...single life has utility and if that's where the Lord's will is for your life right now, appreciate it for what it offers. You land with a Vista you are going to deal with a lot of technical difficulties...you may gain some things, but it may take a lifetime to figure out if it's a better system...probably just err... different

 

[Gregoryp]

I love not having to make a 'normal' dinner every night. That's probably my equivalent to Lynx's messy car. We probably all have our lazy stuff we like to do when no one else has to deal with us on a daily basis.

Your on the same page as me, need a spirit filled christian female by my side.

Yeah I'm the exact opposite of an eager early adopter. Let other people find the bugs. When I decide I need it, there will be plenty of bug-fixes and solutions people have already found, that I can google up.

Lol, Lynx, I was so confused when I read this at first. I thought you were talking about bug-fixes and solutions relating to finding a relationship..."when you decide you need it". Whoa. I think I need sleep. Ha.

Gregory, do you mean you're on the same page even with the lazy stuff we do because we're single?

I do like what @Lynx said near the beginning of this thread. Happy + Happy = Happy
Oh and I think that pulling a loaf out of the freezer is BEYOND acceptable. Just sayin'.

 

[Gregoryp]

not just the lazy stuff, but because of the freedom. No one to serve but Jesus and ourselves

Not your fault. This WAS kind of a thread derail. =^.^=

 

[Lanolin]

what, you dont have extended family or neighbours or a job where you serve others?

 

[Lanolin]

OP tell us what is your book...?
welcome to cc anyway, btw in case you wondering, cc is not a dating site.
People arent gonna turn up at your door, its more for fellowship.

you know, fellowing, the thing Christians do.

 

[Gregoryp]

I have never married, no kids, no friends other than Josephine whom I share this house with, I havent spoken to the immediate family since 2017 (I never felt I belonged with them anyway from a very young age) , cousins etc I havent had contact with since the mid 80s. I retired sometime ago, so no work colleagues, and anyway, I have always avoided socialising with people. And did try organised religion many times but came away bitter and disappointed, another long story. This speech summarises my life and philosophy since primary school perfectly. Great move btw

Don't listen to those who don't see life through the lens of God's protection. You got nothing to worry about here, thanks be to God.

May God bless you on your search for a life mate.

Godspeed.

oh ok..I did see that movie but George Clooney was acting as a travelling salesperson if I recall who was having an affair with a married lady (that he didnt know was married)

 

[Gregoryp]

yes thats the one, but the main theme of the movie was a simplified life and solitude. Freedom and and a very limited human interaction. I can totally relate to that message.
