interests in women vary from region to region. generally, around my area, Saratoga, women definitely are not interested in your activities. think of meeting a woman & her natural interests. most likely, she'll want to dine at lunch, see a movie, visit the flower gardens, go sightseeing, be bike riding in summer, attend church, etc. from my life experiences, women are not into your interests on a big scale. but the law of averages says there are women of you liking. join a group of such. ask around. look on the internet for activity of this nature. be careful in that if you join a group, that it is Christian. you must be an intelligent person because gaming activities requires skill & quick reflexes. also, you probably are quick to solve problems. & you are always exercising your brain, very wise to do so. that's quite a talent, Virtuously_CEE. although my wife & i are popular in the local region, i don't have a lot of friends i social around with because in our area, there's a huge temptation to party, stay up late, become materialistic & such. in other words, my wife & i keep ourselves at "bay". we are out nearly all the time but it's lunches, dinners, a few social parties ( of moral nature ), various events, meetings, etc. i do not mean to speak of ourselves & be off subject but as an example, we are attending a party today & we are thankful that the gathering will be attended by Christian people & business owners. if you have the ability to move, that's an option because there are regional hobbies here & there. for instance, artist communities, sporting cities, gaming areas. blessings to you.
Can I beat the odds?

Very good point ! Relationships r a two way street for sure . I think that one of the most important things in any relationship is compromise . It's a long hard road and sometimes u have to put what u want , to the side and let the other person have their way . My hubby and I have many interests in common and also many things that we do solo because the other isn't interested . We both love music , films and books and have very similar tastes but we also do things apart . One of the most important things is to let the other person b themselves , don't try to change them , allow them to b who they r and love them for who they r , not who u might want them to b .

I was a single mom at the time of writing that and I just wasn’t content with my situation. That discontentment led me to go out and look for someone myself. This led to a toxic and abusive relationship I am still healing from, but it also led me closer to God. I did not understand the benefits of waiting and spending time with the Lord, or that in being single he was protecting me. There really isn’t another love like God’s love and all of that stuff I valued and wrote about in my original post was irrelevant. I learned that if my partner is without Christ and is lacking a clear relationship for himself and if the same can’t be said for myself it’s not going to work. You have to be truly equally yoked in Christ not just in the world. While I am not looking to get into a relationship, these day’s my interest are completely different. I’m embarrassed to have even wrote and posted as much but it’s showing me just how far God has taken me.

Subsequently I think I was also frustrated because I often was the one compromising in ways I should not have like my boundaries, relationship with God, and overall my entire being. I would go to great lengths for the people I dated but it should not have been that way. Had I been patient and had I truly saw what was right before I my eyes which was God I would have been content. He knows exactly who I am my good and my bad. He has required me to change and sacrifice but he also equips me with the strength, wisdom and guidance needed to do so through his Holy Spirit. I say all this to say at the time of writing that post I was lacking. I probably should delete this post but it’s very humbling to see just how far God has brought me. The only relationship I am desiring is the one I have with God and for continued growth.
