I love these answers from the Christian community. Everything's so... simple. But, it isn't.
I have no answers for you in terms of becoming un-single. I have been widowed for more than 13-1/2 years, and my last bonafide date was Feb of 2011. So, for me, it ain't happening.
We keep being told how short our lives are in the Bible. Well, if time is short, then it's precious, and I'd rather not lose what little I have.
So, I hear you 100%. I'm pickin' up whatcher puttin' down. I just wish I had like a three-step, sure-fire solution to the problem. I got nothin', and I've been asking God to bring me a good wife or remove the desire entirely. Please. After more than 13 years, enough's enough.

I was reading about this couple called The Modern Singhs who met at the Warehouse (they were both working there). They were in their 20s but the thing is the husband is Punjabi and they have arranged marriages. however he met his wife who is Scottish in nz and most Europeans do not have arranged marriages. They can marry whoever they like.
The husband came up against a lot of opposition with his parents who did not want him to marry outside his culture. Though eventually his wife won them over.
Im just mentioning this because I am not sure if back in your twenties your parents had arranged a match for you would you have been happy with who they chose? Also would they have chosen someone from your same culture?

This is the ultimate truth when it comes to relationships. We need to be centered in our oneness with God in Christ, and only then are we equipped or "whole enough" to love and be loved. God desires for us to see that HE is our provider, lover and friend that is 'closer than a brother'. Once we are grounded in the truth the HE is more than enough, we are ready to love and be loved.
And yes, you have to put yourself out there too. Let people know you are single and looking. Word spreads. There are millions of lonely people out there. But finding your center in Christ will make you a better partner when that special someone comes along.

Excellent.
That's the first "excellent' I've ever given one of your posts. These really must be the last days
