Admin	Always alone Posted : 3 Mar, 2011 07:14 PM It is so painful for God to give you a desire for something you will never be able to achieve. It is not that I have never met any good women, it is that I do not understand how to start a relationship. I have been given a lot of advice, much of it conflicting, but I don�t understand the advice. My favorite is what gets passed off as God�s way of finding a wife. The saying is that God will bring you a wife, so don�t worry about it. But, He�s not just going to plop a wife in your lap, so you have to be �proactive� and ask women out. So, basically what it comes down to is this: You beat your head against the wall asking the wrong women out over and over again, being disappointed and breaking your heart over and over again until finally God feels sorry for you and brings you a wife. There is nothing right or wrong that anyone does, it�s all just �up to God� when he feels like bringing her around. I will never understand what it takes, so I will always be alone. Proverbs 15:13 (NASB) 13 A joyful heart makes a cheerful face, But when the heart is sad, the spirit is broken. James 2:15-17 (NASB) 15 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? 17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.

View Profile History	Always alone Posted : 1 Apr, 2011 07:30 AM I mean trust me, I've spent the last 10 months living in a shack in Iraq. I know what you mean and I've felt the same way and even before that for years was pretty depressed and confused but it changed when I stopped being angry and made it a point to talk to God the way I described. I finally feel like I know what to do and who I am. Post Reply

View Profile History	Always alone Posted : 5 Apr, 2011 03:34 PM What I don't get here is that we have single men and women both complaining bitterly about being alone. If all of you had that much desire to be with someone then surely you would find a way to meet. I know you could say I'm scared of rejection and don't want to spoil our internet friendship etc, but I'd take a risk for the hell of it anyway. I've suffered rejection many times (well not suffered, I treated it like a sport). Even when you get knocked back the other person will still be flattered that you tried. If the day comes when I'm that bothered I'll be doing whatever I need to, to find someone I want again. If the Bible quotes aren't helping try reading mens health, the tips in there will work on anyone. I think the main thing to do is take a few risks, face rejection, learn from it until you are rejected no more. I'm pretty sure that every man or woman will have better things to talk about than the time they said 'no'. And if they haven't they probably wish they said 'yes'. Post Reply
hedgedweller View Profile History	Always alone Posted : 24 Apr, 2011 04:42 AM Hi Cobbler Man to Man Though I've been a minister for 20 plus years, Im gonna speak to you as a man and leave God to His part. No woman will ever be attracted to someone who sounds pitiful. You're definiately needing a boost in confidence and theres no doubt that what you're feeling inside is coming across to the women you meet when you speak. I would spot it in you from a mile away. You need to find a Godly man that you look up to,, and respect,,, and see if he cant help you with how to approach a woman with confidence and Godliness. There are simple little things that can be learned and still be Godly while saying them. Im not saying to be a player, God forbid,, thet world has enough of them, but maybe something as simple as to what to talk about,,, and what not to talk about. I have a feeling its what your saying that is causing you the most problems if its as bad as you say it is. Reading your post depressed me too. Man to Man Bruce Im sure this wont settle well with some people,,, :rolleyes: Post Reply
