I kind of know how you feel as my wife passed away after 19 years of marriage. Most of the folks here seem to be weary of
people who have lost their spouse. Apart from that you will often get more response via the forums than by sending folks messages
as people in my exprience do not alway reply.
In General however I think guys tend to have fewer friends than women and so they may tend to be more selective about who they choose as friends and most of their friends tend to be other guys. At least that is my 2 cents as not every guy is the same.
Why Are Male Pastors Are Leaving The Church If They Say God Called Them?

So often we think it is the preacher or Pastors job when it is our job to reach out to the unsaved world.
It is we as individuals that are responsible to be examples and reach out to the unsaved.
1 Peter 2:9-12
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
I was looking at it from a widower's perspective and what the implications are for someone in that situation considering being a deacon and then wanting to get married later.
