I live in the middle of nowhere..no kidding. There is no one here. Good, bad.....but there are a few ugly. And trust me, you wonder why I get crabby.....try getting hit on by a divorced 43 year old father of 3 with whiskey breath and four teeth all of them brown, whose pick up line consists of "yer kinda purdy....I gots me a trailor in the woods."

Proud2BCatholic139 Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 I guess I am not really looking, but, I have met a really great person before I even met them face too face. I always say him, never talked to him.
God Conquers Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 God always gets you when you least expect it. i.e. When you're not looking, someone to look at will come along.

[right][snapback]947125[/snapback][/right] [/quote] In my experience, it seems that people who employ lines like "It will happen when you least expect it" or "It will happen in God's time" or "you're vocation is to be single" or "being single is not all that bad" are either practicing problem avoidance or just trying to give the brush-off but rubbing salt in the wound by adding a manipulative religious guilt trip to it. What good does it do when you've already thrown in the towel, or when a woman is past child-bearing years? People need to read James 2:15-16: "If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and no food for the day, and you say to them, 'Good-bye and good luck! Keep warm and well fed', but do not meet their bodily needs, what good is that?" Take it from one of the singles here who has been dealing with the dating netherworld longer than some of you have been alive.

And I don't know about others, but having a wife for me is not a bodily need. As Balthazor put it earlier in this thread, if you don't have a mate life still goes on. But hey, I have no quarells with carpe diem A little while ago I was at a Lord's Day celibration at Franciscan U, and I prayed, "Lord, if you are calling me to the Priesthood, let your will be done...but Lord, if you are calling me to marraige, don't hesitate to send her my way" :

Personally, when I was single, I took that time to prepare myself for whatever vocation God had in store for me. I didn't see the single life as an option. I think its wrong to make singles feel like that thats it and they don't have a vocation to either married or religious life, or to tell them, "Just wait blah blah blah." There needs to be more ministry for people in the 25-whenever age bracket. There needs to be a place for people to meet other singles in the Church. There are plenty of ministries for young people, married couples, elderly, and those discerning a consecrated life, but nothing for people who are older and still searching. While I would still encourage patience, I don't think that it is enough being done to inspire.
