for either for me to be single or married.
So far, being 42 I am not married, and wonder if he wants me to be dedicated to him.
So many men out there lack respect, morals, or just genuine goodness. I was raised with these qualities, and it's hard to find anything like this anywhere. Why

In Los Angeles if that helps.
I was raised the old fashioned way with European standards.

Do you want to be married? Then follow your heart and find somebody to get married to. Be sure that he is as much of a believer as you are.
Just keep looking in the right places and do not panic.

I guess it is due to society and society's ideas on how people should be. It is also how parents are raising their children now a days, there are only a few good parents out there now. Vanity and superficiality has taken over respect, morals, or just genuine goodness. If I were you, instead of asking for a sign, ask Him to guide you or the right woman to you, if you want to find someone that will appreciate you and your qualities, it is never too late to find love, even I had to pray, for I was in a bad and abusive relationship, when I got out of it, I prayed that God helped me through my journey as a single mother to a little baby girl, and if it be His Will to lead me to love if it isn't His Will then I'd still be grateful and follow Him to my dying day, two years passed, I continued providing for my kid and living my life with God, and when I least expected it, love found me, and I've been in this happy, healthy and loving relationship since, my husband too follows God, so if it happened for me it can happen for you, in the meantime, continue your fellowship with God through Christ. God may have a plan for you, just be patient and stay true to Him, if you remain single even throughout your life here, no worries, you will be rewarded one way or another, just be patient and keep your eye on the ultimate prize... Your salvation. I will keep you in mind however, when I pray, so that God guides you and blesses you with love. A friend on YA. Admeta.

Europeans aren't all that old fashioned.
We do have some funny ideas. Like not preaching human rights to the rest of the world whilst completely disregarding them.
Trying to impose democracy on all and sundry without the faintest idea of what democracy means.
If God wants you, He'll call you and you'll know. He wont expect you to be Christ incarnate, but he might expect you to try to grow in the direction of Christianity and try to live up to the preachings of Jesus: love, tolerance, forgiveness, mercy.
Might be difficult in LA.

It is not good that Man be Alone.
If you don't have the "Gift" to not be Married, then it is Time to:
"Seek and Ye Shall Find!"
There was this guy who Asked GOD to let him Win the Lottery.
He kept Praying "oh GOD, Please let me Win the Lottery".
After about a Year of This, GOD Answered him with---"go out and Buy a Ticket!".
See!

Cool!

If you actually believe God has a 'plan' for you, you're tossing out all belief in 'free will'. The two are mutually exclusive. If you believe you free will, then act on it. Make your own decisions. You get ONE life. One. If you sit around waiting for a sign or instruction you will MISS OUT ON LIFE. Go out and get one.

Your expectations are way to high. It take a good Christian to love the faults of others. Get married. Being alone sucks.

You are right. There are a lot of sorry excuses for men around today. But there are good ones too, like ME. You will discern Gods vocation for you if you pray and are open to listening to the Lord.
God bless you, and the Lord be with you.

You may or may not get married. The plan for you would be to get on with today and not worry about manana.

Okay, first of all, stop asking a mythical deity to solve your relationship problems.
Second of all, I highly recommend you put action into your own hands. Walk the talk. If you want love, you must search for yourself.
Thirdly, I think you missed lots of chances where you could have found love. You've been waiting this long for a 'plan'. It's bound to NEVER happen.
Have a nice day. âº
