Seriously pianogal you are very young yet.26 is just a child. Wet behind the ears. I got married at 37,ok. I waited and waited and thought some of the same things. Nothing is wrong with you.

You are ok.trust me. I become lonely and got impatient.However, the right person is there. Someone who will put up with my jokes and like my cats. Who will like my train trips.I belong to a museum that runs steam trips.



Man of God I agree you are old. You said it yourself in a different post. You were saying something about greeks. Well, you must have been taught by the Apsotles.hey Steve, is that boat Jesus rode in still around.You know the one he walked out too on th sea of galalee. Dennis the comic. :ROFL:

Well, I'm single because I haven't found a good enough girl yet. When I find a girl who knocks my socks off, I'll date her. Until then, why waste my time on someone I know I'm not going to marry, or even be proud to bring home to Mom?



The benefits of being single are plentiful. I get to do what I want to do when I want to do it, without having to worry about someone else's wants, needs, desires, feelings, emotions, or schedule. I get to spend as much time with my guy friends as I want, and I don't have to deal with all the bad things that come with being in a relationship with the wrong person.



There are some downsides to being single though. I like hugs, and having a girlfriend would provide me with a lot of hugs. I also like how girls smell. Having a girlfriend would be a good excuse to get close enough to smell her without feeling creepy. I'm usually the cook in relationships, but the way to my heart is through my stomach, so if a girl would cook for me, that would be nice. Finally, girlfriends are good for getting knots out of my back when it hurts.

I'm single because I found the girl I was looking for and after nearly 12 years together she passed away. Even though that was ten years ago it's hard for me to decide if I want a girl friend or a wife now. I want to be married again someday but I really enjoy being single too. I have to find a girl that I just can't imagine being without.



Pros: I RULE!! :ROFL: And I have a freedom that being in a relationship would not afford me.



Cons: It's cold in here. Know what I mean?



Thunder :rolleyes:

I am single because... there is always someone better. And no one really wants to know me because I am too quiet and characterized as stuck up. I do like that I have total privacy and don't have to share with anyone, and that I'm not living in a horrible marriage like my parents.

I am single because I havent met anyone that I would be interested in marrying or even dating.

Thinking of the advantages of being single is a good mind probe, haha.

An advantage I think of off the bat would be that my life doesnt change much. I know my schedule and although it varies, it is still pretty predictable and I like that for now.

Another one is that all my attention is on my family(girls).

All I know is that God knows what He's doing and His timing is perfect.

Thanks for making me think of advantages of being single instead of dis-advantages, haha.

katiekatie, when i read your comment i went to look at your profile. you seem like alot of fun. just from looking at your pictures.:waving:

wasnt going to comment but i read a comment on here that sounded a bit off base

don't mind people who ask.."what steps are you taking to change that then"... i didn't hear you express any sentiment which suggests to me that you feel the need to change, or somehow agree with those poeple whose made those assesments of you... sometimes people are just WRONG because of judging a book by it's cover. do not feel pressured to change but seek ye first the kingdom....! :waving: stay cool :angel:

i'm not even going to pretend i prefer to be single. i think i've learned to make it kinda a game though to see how i can change for the better and grow in compitence and awareness and develope traits that would enable me to get closer to the one i want. it's like a challenge to never stop doing the best you can to be a better person and make adjustments, developing and growing in the good things you have going for you and chucking the things that are holding you back, and get out of your comfort zone, but be better because of it. learning what you want and need as well as what you don't want and don't need, and even though i'm still single, looking back from where i started i've come a long way and am still going. and i'm pretty encouraged by that. all you need is love and if you can figure out how to get and give it, you have all you need.

sorry i keep going but just read the other posts and i apologize before hand for all the cliches i'm about to use, especially the last one, but that's just how i think and i find them helpful:

*why NOT change if it's for the better?

* i forget who said it on here once but they said: in order to get something you've never had you have to do something you've never done.

Also...

*if you keep on doing what you've always done you're going to keep on getting what you always got.

*how's that working out for you?

It is possible to be good enough for you, but not for the one you want. And if you want somebody, you have to get better and grow. Get unstuck. Open up. What you give is what you get, but sometimes you don't know what you're giving, in which case you can get a good idea of that based on what you're getting. It's never them, it's you (that goes for me too). Again, all i'm trying to get at is why not change if it's for the better? I know it's not easy, and it takes some humility, but nothing in life that is right and has value and meaning comes easy. so hang in there and press on. i know there was alot of (subjective) stuff in there, but hopefully it was somewhat accurate, understandable and maybe even helpful.
