I'll just be thinking out loud here.... I was reading a thread about someone who was tired of being single, and wanted a girlfriend. And of course everyone gave their advice.

To the single people - Is it just me, or does some of that 'well-meaning' advice make you roll the eyes:rolleyes:? "You'll meet someone when you're not looking." Umm... Well, I haven't been 'looking' at all.... shouldn't I be meeting all sorts of great guys? :D I don't have to repeat all the other cliches, I'm sure you've heard them.

I'm sure some of you single people have wondered if you'll be single forever... right? I'm the type of person that doesn't mind being by myself.... I actually like it that way sometimes. But then of course there are times that I miss having a boyfriend, or at least a date/someone to do stuff with. And I would like to eventually (sometime this century):rolleyes: meet the right person and settle down. But for now, I've got other things on my mind... getting my life moving in the right direction, going back to school to finish my degree, etc.

Anyway, I'm just rambling here.... As the title says, I'm feeling kind of 'blah'...... and I've been missing LA lately. I miss going out and doing fun things, I miss my friends there, I miss my church (it was the coolest church ever).... I kinda miss living in an actual city, with interesting people. At the moment, I'm in a little town, with mostly families and married people. Its just temporary, but even Sacramento, (if I get an apt there) doesn't seem like the most exciting place to live. But hopefully I'll meet people there, and things will be alright.

< /ranting and rambling >

Darlin, don't move to sacramento. It's a hick town really. Well hell, maybe you like hick types, but I don't really see you fitting in there, but what do I know.

I imagine I'll be single my whole life really. I mean, I'll date and surely have girlfriends and whatnot, but I don't really forsee myself ever truely clicking with someone. So yes, I too roll my eyes at the "You'll find someone when you least expect it" advice and whatnot. Umm, I don't expect it for my whole life....

It is nice to have someone to be close to and make out with regularly and shtuff [sic], but I won't settle.

lol @ 'hick town'. :D The only reason I might move there is to go to school (CSUS this fall) And no, I'm definitely not into hick types :o not at all. But come on, I don't think it'll be that bad. lol

I agree with the other stuff you said. :) I'm kinda picky too, and I don't want to have to settle.

I know it sounds cliché, but I have seen so many different cases (my own included) where you really DIDN’T meet someone really special unless you weren’t looking, I happen to think it applies a lot of the time. As I told someone recently, especially in the case of A Christian that is looking for a relationship that is founded in a mutual pursuit of God, many times the very ‘seeking a mate’ behaviour is distracting the person from growing in the faith. I know in my own case, I had to stop worrying about it, leave it to God, and decided to be content with myself in him as is, and let him direct me to the right person at the right time.

Obviously that’s not the case for everyone, as not everyone is really caught up looking like that. In my experience, God brings two people together when those two people are ready. Not that this is in and of itself totally comforting to the whole waiting process, but it seems to me that God has our lives planned out and he knows when we will achieve Milestone X and that only after we’ve achieved that will we be able to properly handle situation (insert event here, in this case relationship.)

Hi Froggie! :D How are you feeling, better? :)

I actually agree with what you said about Christians. At the moment, I'm concentrating on growing spiritually... I know that is what's important. And I do believe that God has things planned out, and He knows what's best for us.

So I heard you were busy over the weekend traveling all over the place..... how was it??

Froggy feels better. Much too much hopping going on at the moment, though. Too busy to post much, will be better soon.

More soon
