It's okay, Slushie! At your age - I hadn't been in one either. You're doing great!

I'm 36 and haven't been in a relationship either. I've dated a little bit (not a lot). I've very often felt very self-conscious about it - silly even. I feel less so now though. I've been told by several people that I've been "preserved" by the Lord. Well, I don't know if I agree with that. While I personally think that I've been protected in many ways, I think that also I've been afraid. A few months ago, it looked like I was going in the direction of a relationship, but that fizzled out. But, before it did, I took the step of saying - "yes - I'll enter the relationship" - and that alone was very freeing. So, I'm not really afraid anymore. So, when the next person comes along and I feel that it is from the Lord, I will say "yes" without hesitation.

I'm 35+ and have only been on a handful of dates (no more than 3 or 4). I was quite content until my last relationship. However, I am enjoying being single doing all the stuff that I can enjoy doing now before I have to consider 2 people instead of 1.
I have to agree with what one crosswalker said in an earlier post though: As you grow older you tend to wonder more, and you can get to feeling a bit whimsical however, I always remember : God takes his time, yet works with speed & His timing is not our timing. I don't think these were taken from the Bible, but they do remind me that God never lets anything happen before its time.
I agree with this too. I am glad at this time to be single because I'm getting a brand new life - the Lord is doing a lot of things - from grad school to starting a business to traveling to doing a job that I never thought I'd get a chance to do - I can do all of this without worrying about kids or a husband. If I were to meet someone soon, I'd have no regrets about the "road not taken" because I've been able to do a lot of what I've always wanted to do already. But I love that connection between a man and a woman. I recently experienced that and I really miss it.
The Lord spoke to my heart yesterday. He said that I was to wait with expectancy on the husband he is going to bring to me. I was to wait, the same way that I would wait on a tax refund check or a paycheck. We know these things will come - although sometimes we don't know exactly when it will come (at least with the refund) and we wait with anticipation for them. We don't think that the job won't send it or that the IRS won't send it. This is the what it means to wait in faith.

I'm 29 And single, Ive dated since I was 17 no one ever compared to the first love, dated Godly And took a long time in the worldly women, NOT COOL. But I have been engaged before, thought it was what I wanted, I have to say if you really want marriage one day, God will grant it to you, but you have to be willing to learn what he wants to show you. And we all have to remember PERSONALITY is supposed to be #1 And you do have to have some attraction to the person you get with. Honesty between 2 people, but I don't go to find worldly women these days, really have given up, waiting to get my life straighter before God grants me this or something. Its in HIS time, I have to remember that. May-bee join a singles group at a church but don't be afraid to hang out with someone of the opposite sex as friends And see where things go, never know that a friend is where it always was And never knew. 29 I thought Id be married at 25, ha ha, God laughed at my plan for sure! Hes blessed me with some great friends And family. I'm thankful for everything I have, And yes I want more in life, And I know that in time Ill get there! Keep your heads up, were all out there together in this, where worldly is acceptable. And the biggest problem is that people don't want to take moral responsibility for their actions, or feel they have the right And you don't these days.

It is not hard to be with someone.
We have our expectations and we want what God wants for us..waiting for a man or woman to fall from heaven..it won't happen. People are people..fallable, ugly most of the time and can hurt you!

32, male, and I have never been in one. I could say that I am married to my work but I don't think that counts.
I really envy Data in Star Trek. He could turn off his emotions. What I wouldn't give to be able to do that, especially when I have nothing better to do than to wonder what its like.

I'm 23. I've only had one girlfriend. I dated her for about six months (Really wasn't too much of a relationship though. Long story there.) I sometimes get frustrated when I see people my age and younger getting married. But then another thought comes to mind. I see people who got married, rushed into things before they were ready and are unhappy and in a big mess because of it. All of a sudden, I'm not in so much of a hurry anymore. Now I do realize that marriage has its struggles and is something that needs to be worked at but it doesn't do much good when one person is willing to work at it and the other one isn't.

I just want to say how comforting it is to see others in the same position I am in. I usually lurk. I enjoy the topics here on the board. I'm 29, female, and a virgin. I've only been on one date in my life. Sometimes it gets so hard I don't think I will be able to handle how hard it is.Other times I'm happy to be single. I'm always wondering,"Am I ever going to know what it feels like to love a man?"
