I'll say something! Being in my 20's and single really sucks! (Can I say sucks?)
Most men in their 20's still want to party and i'm way past that. I crammed years of partying into just a few. I just don't get why its so hard to find single, eligible men that want something more than a little booty.

(((Terri))) I'm sorry that you don't like being in your twenty's!
I was struggling really bad about not finding the right guy yet, but now I have figured out that before God can bring me the right guy for me, I have to let God shape me into the right girl for him...even when that molding and shaping hurts so bad!

I've found that its not necessarily a person's age that makes the difference. I think it often has a lot more to do with maturity level and priorities. I feel frustrated sometimes too but don't despair.

Hi kmgnm97! Welcome to the threads!
You are right it does have a lot to do with maturity. I live in a socially inept town though.

Thanks for the welcome! I don't know about living in a socially inept town. That certainly can't help matters. I live in a rural area and that does make meeting people a little challenging.

There are so many changes that face us in our 20s! You can graduate from college, get your first REAL job (LOL), move away from home possibly...
The list goes on and on.
I just moved a long way away from home and as far as I'm concerned, I would be ready for marriage, etc. but God hasn't placed that someone in my path yet (that I know of). Sometimes it is really hard to wait on His timing! All my good guy friends (girl friends too) are scattered across the country!
I live in party central so it's hard to find a mature guy who isn't more interested in the purely physical stuff. There are a lot of military guys around which is great if you can find one who's a christian and single (that seems to be a rarity).

I understand that Keys.
Its not easy. In fact sometimes its really hard and really stinks. We just have to make sure we don't settle for something less than what God has desired for us.

Amen Terri!!!!!!!
Something I have started doing when I am feeling pretty stinky is praying for my future husband...because if I am feeling that way, he may be too!! Praying for him makes me feel better somehow....and although I would much rather be giving him that hug I ask God to give him in my prayer, I know I'll get my chance some day!

I am twenty-something and on the other end of spectrum. I graduated from college already, and went to a bible school no less, and still came out single at the end. Now I'm so lonely here, no one my age and interested. I've tried visiting churches to find people, but I don't want going to church to be about finding a woman. God has recently pulled me through a lot of darkness, and I know he's there and caring and planning. I'm just so impatient to find a special someone I can love as Christ has loved me.
On the flip side, I've started looking at the good sides of being single (yes, there are several). But I hope I don't stay this way forever...

I think its probably just as hard for those who are older than us and still single. I mean they have a thread just like this for them.
I'm 25. I expected to have my career, be married and planning children by now. God has seen fit for other things though. I use to be angry and curse God for it, but now I know He will do things in His own time.

I am so frustrated at the moment...I met the most AMAZING guy and we are totally perfect for each other, but we can't even hardly talk to each other it's like we make each other nervous or something...funny considering we have known each other for two years and never had trouble talking before! I know if it's meant to be it will be in God's time...but I can be SO IMPATIENT!!!

I think we all are.
Its like "Ok God, I can wait on Your will to be done, but can You just hurry it up a little?!?"
