Way too long it will be 4 years next week. Haven't been in a relationship since my senior year of high school. It still frustrates me everyday.
 
And I know it shouldn't frustrate me but I never do good alone and the last 4 years has done that.

That silly holiday is my birthday!

My dad likes to tell the story of when I was born, already 3 weeks late. Near the end of labor, he told my mom, "ya know, if this baby sees its shadow, it's gonna crawl back in and wait 6 more weeks." It was quite a while before mom forgave him of that.
 
LOL...Mom's sure do put up with a lot don't they? Especially from Dad's. :)

Dude..I feel yer' pain my friend...but srsly....I've only dated 6 women in my entire life,and I am 43 yrs old. I was single from age 23-30...then got married. The last 3 yrs of my marriage,I might as well have been single. Trust me...you do not want to end up in a relationship...even worse than that...end up married,if it's not born of God! I married an unbeliever because I gave up on Christian women and gave up on waiting for God to bring that special person into my life and me into theirs. I jumped the gun on God's plan for my life. I know that now. I took the "easy" path because I knew secular women liked me & I believed the lie that no Christian woman would ever find me good enough or desire someone who wasn't the cookie cutter 3 piece suit guy that could quote every chapter & verse...wanted 3 kids & a white picket fence type Christian.

I pray God will heal your heart bro. I pray that as you seek the face of God more & more,that you become less discouraged by your situation & your past. Hang in there!

I never even had the honor to date one. No lies. I've never dated, or anything.

Yanno what? There's times I really wish I never had either. I understand the loneliness...but so does Jesus,even more than you or I can even fathom. Try to release that loneliness and junk @ His feet. Let Him take that burden.

I try daily, I read the bible daily, pray more than 30 times a day!!! Go to church every week. I feel that I have a strong relationship with Christ. Something is off though!!
 
Yep...and that's where the whole walking in Faith & not by sight comes in. Because trust me...I'd say 85% of the time I don't "feel" much like a Christian. No matter how much I pray or read. I have to rest & trust in the fact that I am saved by the love & grace of Jesus,and the second I start getting my eyes off of that truth,then I start to really spiral down into sadness. For good reason too,because in reality I am NOTHING without Christ in my life. It's a daily battle sometimes. I'm glad yer' here in the forums with all of us though...safety in numbers. lol :)
 
I've actually honestly started asking myself "am I gay??" I don't have gay thoughts but by world standards my emotions would be considered gay!! :(

If you can repent of such a thought, then you're not gay. Gay is a word people nowadays use to say they are a certain sexual orientation. But it's actually no different than a murderer repenting from murder. Lier repenting from lying. Theft repenting from stealing, ect. Sin is no greater than any other sin.
 
I don't have gay thoughts though. I'm just saying by worlds standards I would be gay. I love woman.
 
To me, single is not being in a committed, monogamous relationships. I have never had a boyfriend or anything in my 19 years, and my Christian faith has taught me to wait. Waiting for me, turns out to be the hardest thing out there!
