Hmmm... I may be single because I see this and wonder why there is no outcry against partner abuse... :?

Cos we have standards and self respect and don't wanna go with any wh0re that wants s3x after a few dates. But sadly, there aren't many people like us with standards and with self respect anymore. So it's hard to find a potential partner for a relationship

I agree with Lijo, you are going to have to give it time, give yourself breathing room, your life is just starting.

I am still single because I have high standards and am not willing to settle. Also right now I am working on myself and letting God work in my so someday I will be able to be the wife and mother he wants me to be. I am waiting for a guy to pursue me becauae I am tired of trying to pursue guys.
If u r a born again believer u r married to Jesus Christ,Amen.But being single is a beautiful state of life to be in and u r just as valuable,loved,important and treasureful to God,amen.remember this saying, its better to be single wishing and hoping u were married,than to be married wishing and hoping u were not.

I don't think a man with physical attraction towards a woman makes him a pervert, but Jesus did teach us about thoughts that cross our minds while in the company of a woman. Some of these thoughts, if they were spoken out loud, would earn a slap from the woman.
It is good to have high standards. I am sure that God is indeed working on you at this very moment. Glad to have you join us. Welcome to CC.

I've made a bunch of jokes about why I am single. Last night though, I gave it some serious thought and realized something.
I never met anyone I wanted to pursue or that I was interested in beyond a platonic sense. I liked both of the women I married, but I was never in love with them. Ultimately, I think I am single because I know that all the years I tried to not be single I was just lying to myself and trying to do what other people were doing to try and feel "normal". I was battling against my preferred relationship status which is alone. Not to say it is impossible for me to ever meet a woman someday that I develop an interest in, but so far I've never met anyone even close.

Once upon a time
In a fortune telling place
A pretty lady read my mind
And then she slapped my face!
(Old poem, I forget where I read it.)
Nothing wrong with having standards (the guy can't be a slob on the couch drinking beer and eating potato chips with a BBQ stain on a white T-shirt 24/7). But I think it is a bit overboard to have too high of standards. Relationships aren't about having check marks, which I interpreted your post as. Relationships are about growing with the person and loving them more and more each day, which in reality can be with anyone. Because (if both parties live that long) everyone will live to be old and grey anyways.

Every day I wake up & single, it's the Lord's grace to grow me spiritually for the time He plans in His will for the right person. The more I grow in Him, the more I realize I fall short & im at peace with that.
