BeautifulD View Profile History	Being single is a choice Posted : 14 Jan, 2010 11:53 AM As much as it grieves me to admit it, I do choose to be single. If I wanted that desperately to get married, I could do so very easily. But I don't want to get married just for the sake of it, I want to be with the right person, the man God has chosen for me, so therefore, I'm still "choosing" to be single. What do you guys think?

stormcountry33 View Profile History	Being single is a choice Posted : 14 Jan, 2010 04:22 PM well I have to admit that when I first saw the title of your post I thought you were crazy, but by just reading the few lines you stated, I have to agree with you 100%! We could put aside are morals and values and surely we could settle for someone of the world, but by choosing to cling to that whcih we know is Truth, we are in fact choosing to be single until the one chosen by God is revealed to us. Good post!! Post Reply

View Profile History	Being single is a choice Posted : 29 Jan, 2010 07:37 PM I agree as well. I have a twin sister who has been married for 5 years. She married right out of college because "it was the thing to do" and she settled for a man that she didn't really love and now they are both miserable. Witnessing that has definitely drilled into my head that I can choose to remain single until I find the right guy and this is perfectly reasonable. Post Reply
Rhythm_Worship View Profile History	Being single is a choice Posted : 19 Feb, 2010 12:56 PM Yeah. I totally agree with you BeautifulD. I choose to be single as well. I've had friends get annoyed with me for not dating. Some just can't understand that I would rather be single and sometimes have lonely moments than to be in a relationship for the sake of being in a relationship. I know too many people that have gotten married without thinking things through and are now miserable. If I never get married then my life still will not have been that bad. Anyway, that's my two cents put in a nutshell. ;) Post Reply
View Profile History	Being single is a choice Posted : 11 Mar, 2010 11:37 AM I'm with you Rhythm_Worship. Friends and family get on me for being single and not dating at all. I gave up dating a few years ago after a few bad experiences, so now any relationships I have with girls/women will be friendships only. Post Reply
View Profile History	Being single is a choice Posted : 12 Mar, 2010 11:39 PM Being single is most definitely a choice for me. If I really wanted to be with some one I could go out and meet some one easily. But I am perfectly content with being single right now and don't feel like rushing into a relationship if I dont feel like it will go anywhere. Post Reply
LindsRene View Profile History	Being single is a choice Posted : 31 May, 2010 04:23 PM Well, I'm a newbie on here but figured I would throw my 2 cents in anyway ;) Generally I agree. Being singel is a choice for me, mostly because most of the guys where I live are not Christians. I know I can be extremely picky aout whom I date, but I would rather date one person and have them be the one than a string of guys that wouold be willing to settle for One the flip side, I get frustrated many times because it often seems like I'll never find someone. I've struggled with this for a while now, especially when I'm the only one in my circle of friends who is not currently seeing someone. I know God is in control and I am doing my best to trust in his will. I want someone who will love me completely, not someone who is convenient for the moment. I know my future husband out there somewhere. Sometimes I just wish he would stop and ask for directions:goofball: Post Reply
View Profile History	Being single is a choice Posted : 26 Dec, 2010 08:25 AM Being in a wrong relationship can be more lonely than being single. You are bound by that relationship so from a moral view cannot move outside it. Singleness gives the freedom to choose what you do and who you do it with. It is prudent to wait for the person that you can truly spend your life with and grow with before entering into the unknown. Nobody can predict the future so a relationship needs to be built on a solid foundation. Being with someone to just take away loneliness and fulfil our desires is self defeating and will only result in heartache and failure. You have to make the effort to find that someone who is true for you but I think it starts by knowing ourselves first. To be wise you first have to be a fool. Post Reply
