Why i am single: i can be pretty independent, waiting on God/quote]

I'm single, but I still have 6.5 years to go to join your group. There is no shame in being 30 and single! It's probably better to be happily single than to be unhappily enslaved in a relationship with a man who sees himself as your Lord, Master, and father!

i dont understand waiting 4 God 4 wat!

what is she waiting for God for?

what is she waiting for God for?

@ lioness & glodave,
she's waiting on God for the perfect partner., i think.

1st of all, there is no "perfect" partner or person.

And what happend to all those "near perfect" guys God brought across her way when she was 25 yrs, when she was 28 yrs, and even now that she's 30 yrs.

Marriage is a lifetime commitment, so it's better to be safe than sorry. Better to be single and lonely than to be married and still lonely and unhappy.

Single Married
unhappy Unhappy
lonely Lonely

Which do you think is better

Thank you, all for your comments. It is a pity that no one participated in the thread, rather gave unwelcoming comments irrelevant to the initial thread. The topic was just for fun and not for major analysis.

Comment: Waiting on God for what.
Reply: means looking forward to what ever God has in store for my future.

Reply: well I guess they were not perfect enough for me and so I made the decision to remain single and to take chances with the faith than to be with someone that is not right for me. Being with the right person has nothing to do with the age you meet the person. Hence, when it is right it is right not when it is time it is right. Besides at 25 I was busy earning my masters in Information Systems Management at the top of my class. And at 28 I was busy working on my career securing a future for my self and those close to me. And I don’t think that is a bad thing.

Comment: Single unhappy lonely or Married unhappy Lonely
Reply: neither is better

Don’t get me wrong I am not lonely, I have a life, wonderful family, great job, and most importantly I have God. But it will be nice to settle down, but only when it is right.

Nice reply,Tess. Lioness was just being unfeeling.

Single i.e. FREE Married i.e. man-slave.
Unhappy - on Vals day More Unhappy - husband is a jerk
Lonely and everyone understands Lonely but nobody understands why

Thanks IAH

Oh, I see that you are indeed angry with yourself.

Is it compulsory to be married?

I have a friend who doesn't want to get married. Her reasons are bad though. She said she can't stay with one man for the rest of her life. So instead of getting married and divorcing or getting caught for infidelity, she prefers not to get married. She doesn't want kids too! What a weird girl! And she's Nigerian! I still think she's kidding me though.

Dont think she's kidding. People actually have different views about stuff these days.
Personally, i wanted to be a single mother and just live that way without "man" wahala but recently am trying to change my views cos i realised i wont be able to stand the emotional stress of having men come and go in my life

If I don't find someone I feel I can live with and be happy, I simply won't get married. That'll just give me more time for my other goals. Women who are maybe picky or very independent-minded should consider that approach, too. I guess.

if u are single it dont mind nothing on valentine's day

the only matter is that u should be happy

;d :d
