I am starting to max out of the young adult groups. What do I do now?

[Anonymous]

I am involved in church, and I am turning 29 this year. The young adult groups are for those under 30. It sorta makes sense, but at the same time, I am unmarried, so it is disheartening because I am still single and will start to be exposed to more married couples the older I get.

Even more disheartening, I have always wanted a girlfriend, a wife, and a family of my own. I feel I am in a different chapter of my life compared to married people.

I only want a woman without a romantic past where we can be each other's first real relationship. I feel I will never find that, thus, I will be single for life and that will be my burden to bear.

Life isn’t all about marriage and children. Sure these are amazing milestones to reach, but there’s so many other things to accomplish rather than feeling like a failure because you haven’t achieved having a family yet.
As a spiritual person then you should remember you’re on no one else’s time but god’s, and when he sees fit is when you’ll get what you’re praying for. So until then, use this time to work on bettering yourself in areas that you believe need improvement, so that you can bring your best self to the table when the right woman comes along.
Speaking of which, I won’t lie, you narrow down your options in the dating pool quite a bit. At least if you were open to a woman who’s had one or two romantic partners, but none at all? Of course she exists, but it’s hard finding a flat out virgin. So you’ll just have to be very patient, keep praying about it and live your life to the fullest that you can.

"I only want a woman without a romantic past"

At 29? I think with that stipulation you are gonna be single a long long time. Most women have a romantic past of some sort.

If I have never had an actual girlfriend myself, how is this not a fair request to want a woman with the same inexperience as me?

I would love a woman like you, but you are already someone else's leftovers.

"Someone else's leftovers"

You will never get a woman and will die lonely because you don't know how to talk to and treat women. You're also the most insecure person I've ever talked to on here. Pretty pathetic

Maybe find other guys to open up a small group with other guys. Are you the only guy in your church that single in your age range?

I am involved in an unofficial Bible study group consisting of single men like me. Mostly ranging from mid 20s to mid 30s.

Then increase your time with them instead. Maybe you could propose preparing for marriage or relationship as a study topic. Because community and accountability is something that could help you coming to peace with your situation
