But I'll admit there are areas I could stand improvement in.

How hard is it to learn?

I don't know if this is relevant but here goes. I was single and did not find my special someone until I was fifty years old. I had been in love before, but it did not work out. I had several offers, but the spark was just not there. I had prayed and put it in God's hands. I was successful in my career, and could support myself quite well. When my future husband came into my life, my decision was; " Do I want to rock the boat?" I am so glad I opened up my life to let him in. We are deeply in love and are truly partners in everything we do. My life is much richer with a partner to share it with. Has my boat been rocked? Yes, it has, there have been adjustments, on both our parts, he has probably had to adjust more than me. But I do not regret my decision one instant.

Excellent post, Blubayou! You put it in God's hands!

I'm not sure I'm ready to put in God's hands yet......but, I guess that's not right either. I need to put it in his hands and he'll know when I'm ready.

It's just safer to say you aren't interested, then you don't feel like a failure if nothing happens.

Wrong - - I know!!!!!!!

I was 26 when I married my wife... the right one is well worth the wait.

Renda- I put it in God's Hands when I was in my early thirties!!!!!!! I had a long time to wait. Don't ask me why? I do think that my husband and I have something special- so I may have had to wait for him!!!!!!!

There's no point in getting uptight about singleness. Oftentimes it's when you least expect it that it happens.

Rest in the Lord. Wait patiently for Him. If it's meant to be and if it's God's will for you it will happen.

There's something worse than being single. And that's being with the wrong person.
