I am single. Duh.  I don't think I am meant to be but there are a lot of obstacles to being with someone not the least of which is my innate introversion.  I miss having a group of friends like there was in college.  Being an adult, I have found few real friends and even fewer prospective significant others.  I am not sure if I need to go the route of online dating or just wait it out until my kids are grown and I have no desire to be with men anymore.  Any great ideas?

     Singleness can be a hard pill to swallow. As a single man in his 40's, I am painfully aware.  One thing God has been trying to impress on me, is that I need to cultivate my relationship with Him first.  A great line from a movie (Cool Running) is from a man who wanted to win a gold medal.  He was told that if you are not enough without it, you will never be enough with it.            That is true in relationships too.  Only when God is  "enough" for us, will we have something of true worth to offer our mate.  I am not saying we need to be perfect before we are  ready to date, but our relationship with God has to be our highest priority.


 


Grace in your journey;


Dan
