Let me say that while I am thrilled for each of my friends who are married or soon to be, I cannot help but feel discouraged when yet another friend makes the commitment (to marry their significant other--not necessarily the actual commitment of marriage).
To put things in perspective, I have 123 friends total on Facebook. I make it a point not to be friends with anyone on Facebook whom I don't know or talk to, or whom does not talk to me. I must have some interaction with them in the real world for them to make it onto my friend list. Of those, there are twenty-two women who are married, engaged, or might as well be married for one reason or another. Most likely, I'm friends with their other half too, so that's a third of my entire friend list out of the running.
Alright, so, the other 79 friends are probably equally divided between dudes and dudettes but hardly any of them are datable material. Most of them have potential, I guess, or they would if it were possible to actually spend more time with them. Sadly, the women with whom I am capable of spending the most time seldom fit what I'm looking for in a partner.
My requirements aren't much. A prospective date has to be comfortable smiling, a fellow believer, and single but hopeful. Oh, and si elle parlerait français à n'importe quel niveau, je serai le sien.
I'm not worried. I just have to wait and trust in God. He'll work things out in due time. Heck, for all I know, my future wife is reading this blog right now.
