Several reasons, the first being because God hasn't brought us together.
The second - I just really don't meet a lot of date-able men right now.
Third - I know I'm moving in the early part of 2010.

Now where are you going?
When I was hired, it was for a lab currently being built just outside of Dallas - so I knew this going in.
My training is 18 months in Austin, but due to some various circumstances - that is going to be extended another 6 months (I'll not be in training anymore, but I won't be going to the new lab just yet either).
So, it will still be in Texas :) And honestly I'm glad I'm not in Austin permanently. Though this feeling of being temporary is kinda getting old.

Totally understood! I think I forgot about this being 'temporary'.
BTW - glad to see you around!

Well, I turn down the guys who ask me out.  Therefore... I really don't date. :)
I would have thought that you'd have bunches of good Christian guys asking you out, Surely one of them is date worthy?

Good guys? Yes.
Bad guys? Yes.
Nice guys? Yes.
Christian guys? Haven't seen many (around here).
Nice Christian guys? REALLY haven't seen any (around here).
Doesn't this really get to the heart of the matter for many of us? "Why are you still single?" Well.....could it be that many of us have no eligible prospects at the moment? Sometimes we Christian singles get chastised for being "too picky" or "overlooking" someone who is right in our midst. Really? Who would that be? If you were to ask how many women I personally knew in my age range (I'm almost 32, so I'll use 27-37 as an example) who I know are single and looking and I see on a regular basis, I am hard pressed to name examples? Work? Absolutely no one in my department, and I don't get the chance to mingle much with people in the other departments. Church? Several women my age -- all of them married. Volunteering? I do volunteer out in the community, and there *MIGHT* be one who is single, but I only see her sporadically, so I can't say with any certainty if she truly is single or not.
So there you have it. I know I need to go out and try new things, but it's kind of difficult with my current commitments. And I apologize for my little rant -- I've been feeling a little crummy today. I'm still hoping that I can make the rest of my 30s turn out better than my 20s.
I'm getting ready to go to bed, so a happy good night and God Bless to you all!

Oh, your prospects sound like mine!! I feel your pain.
I do have plenty of the older women in my church wanting me to "convert" their grandsons/sons, or get them back in line with God if they've fallen out... sigh.

Ditto to you both.
I know there have got to be eligible ladies in the right demographic but they seem to all be hiding from me. (Now admittedly my standards are set pretty high)
And people wonder why so many of us try the dating sites. Where else will we find people?

Oh no! So now they're assuming you should play the role of rescuer? Yikes! Sorry to hear of your situation.
Re: other replies: Well, yeah, what's so terrible about meeting other people online, when you can't in other places? I don't know if it was here at Crosswalk, or at one of the other forums I read, but a poster from a ways back had one way of summing it up: after you've been out of school for a few years, you pretty much stop flat out meeting new people. Might sound a little extreme, but I get the point: the number of new people you meet is a tiny fraction of what it used to be.
I haven't reached the point (yet!) where I'm going to sign up for a dating agency, but it sure is really nice knowing all of you here at Crosswalk Singles -- too often I feel like a total freak when I'm out in public -- it's nice to know I'm not the only "dateless wonder" around. And the people here on this forum sure are a lot nicer than a lot of other people I've run across on other Singles boards!

Why do you think you're still single -
Hmmm... probably because I am super picky when it comes to what kind of guys I will like and the fact that I have a list of qualities that any guy I even consider liking must have! (Being on-fire for God is #1 on my list!) And too, I think it's mostly because I have found someone I could see myself forever with that has actually asked me out, if the right kind of guy asked me out tomorrow, I'd like him in a heartbeat. I get asked out all the time, but normally not by guys who I would feel comfortable going out with. I actually had one of my guy friends ask me the other day why I was still single, he said aside from the fact that I always seem to want to be right,(don't know where on earth he got that stupid idea?!?!) that he didn't see any reason why I should still be single! So, I told him why I was and I will share it with you guys too... *serious face, no smile* Man, this is really hard to tell you, but, at night when no one else is around, I turn into a... gremlin!! *busts up laughing* Yeah, I know it's corny and he was really mad at me for that one, he thought I was going to say something "profound"! LOL! (come on this is me we're talking about!) I guess the main reason I am still single is because God hasn't seen fit to bring the right guy into my life yet, or if he's already here, we just haven't realized we belong together!

Your tag line says "A Modern Day Cinderella" but we now know you're a modern day Princess Fiona!

Hey, I resemble that comment! (Although, I guess I would kind of be a Cinderella/Fiona mix! LOL!) Man, I just love it when I come up with something like that, and I still think the gremlin thing is pretty funny, although the sad thing is, the movie is older than me! And, I'm still using that as my excuse to why I'm single! LOL!!

Hehe - I'm with you - I'm very much a Fiona though, no Cinderella here (except that I like shoes). Germlins is older than you? I remember chewing a hole through my hand watching it the first time - I was probably 4 or 5!

Yeah, Gremlins are older than me, I was born in 1989... so I only know about it because of my mom! LOL!! I just thought it made a great excuse because, I am FOREVER getting asked why I am still single and I love to be a knuckle head when I give people answers! As I say, ask me a stupid question, I will give you a stupid answer...hmmm...maybe that's the real reason I'm still single...JK!!!

Why do I have this feeling like I'm surrounded by children? And today it's by crushing children.

LOL!
Since you're talking about phrasing of words and interpretations of those phrases, I have to share something from church yesterday. The pastor introduce a couple of new staff members and read their bios. Here's an excerpt from one woman's bio that intended to show that she has a heart for those in need:
"...She has a deep love for hurting people and in sharing with them the comfort..."
Maybe that's why she's still single. (Or for that matter, why I am!)
