Unmarried persons do have certain advantages in the service of Christ Jesus and Jehovah God.
(1 Corinthians 7:32,33) The unmarried man is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he may gain the Lord’s approval. But the married man is anxious for the things of the world, how he may gain the approval of his wife
(1 Timothy 5:8) Certainly if anyone does not provide for those who are his own, and especially for those who are members of his household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith.
(1 Corinthians 7:4) The wife does not exercise authority over her own body, but her husband does; likewise, also, the husband does not exercise authority over his own body, but his wife does.
However, that is a personal decision and each one must consider his own ability to resist sexual temptation.
(1 Corinthians 7:9) If they do not have self-control, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to be inflamed with passion.
(1 Timothy 5:11) When their sexual impulses have come between them and the Christ, they want to marry

Because Jehovah won't make love with you, have your children, bring you chicken noodle soup when you are sick, laugh at your jokes, sing you a song, hold your hand when you are lonely, iron your shirts, help you with your homework, take care of the kids, help with the housework, comfort you in your old age... are you "getting it" yet?

well, Paul the apostle said to the Corinthians that it was better not to get married, BUT he stressed, its okay to marry rather than die of passion. If you are absolutely sure you won't die of passion, then stay single. If you still feel in your heart of hearts you want to be loved and also love back, then don't give up on girls. go, ask God to show you the right one for you..Good luck
