My Newest and Truest Theory

So for a while now I've been wondering what's wrong with me. I think I have set a record for being the most rejected in the shortest amount of time. Then after observing my social circle and people in general, I've realized I'm one of the most normal, stable, and non-psycho (and funniest I should add) in my circle if not in society. So what's going on with all the rejection? Well, this is the conclusion I came to:

People, for the most part, go for people that are convenient. They date/marry/hang out with those who "fit" into their lives at that moment in time despite the fact that the person might be a complete nutso. I'm not saying this is true in all cases. I believe there is true love and soul mates and things that are "meant to be" but I think in general, people don't like to work for things. Now, I'm not saying I'm a complete burden but my free time is limited. And why is it limited? Because I have a kid that takes up most of that time. So a kid plus limited free time? I'm thinking men look at me and say no thanks. I don't have baby-daddy drama, I have a good job, a car, I'm bilingual, good head on my shoulders (and vain apparently) so in general I'm a pretty good catch. But the fact that I don't have all the free time and attention in the world to bestow upon someone seems to be a hindrance which is pretty pathetic. Are people THAT needy? They prefer to put up with crazies that smother them rather than invest time with a stable, independent person? It’s pretty baffling to me. But that is my theory and so I have officially given up any attempts in finding anyone because even though there are exceptions to the rule, they are very rare.
 
Why Do You Look For Another?

"But the fact that I don't have all the free time and attention in the world to bestow upon someone seems to be a hindrance." This should be true of all Christians! We are to bestow our time and attention on serving God,rather than serving humans for our own pleasure.Consider the rejection you have received as a spiritual wake-up call.Make God the focus of your life to obtain salvation. :clap3

Luke 14:25-27 (New King James Version)

25 Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, WIFE and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. 27 And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

"I have officially given up any attempts in finding anyone." What a wise decision!.Now you can dedicate your life fully to serve the One you have already found and who has found you!! :amen
 
Um, I'm already saved and this wasn't really a wake up call, just an observation about how society works and how people end up with each other when it doesn't even make any sense. People are lazy and don't like to work towards someone that is a little tougher to deal with. Convenient people: good. Inconvenient people: bad.
 
Ehh, I set up this list of qualifications that a gal had to meet before I'd allow myself to date. Figured I'd be single for a long, long time....

It was about that time that God brought the most wonderful woman into my life and we've been married for 12 years now. God is good.

Your time will come, amd I know you won't settle for second best.

Yeah...it's just strange to see all these things. I feel like an outsider always looking in. For the most part I'm fine that I'm alone actually so I'm not too worried. But it does bother me to see good people go for not so good people just because they are easy to be with. I am a good, non-crazy person with lots of good qualities and to be constantly passed over for crazy chicks...it's almost stupid.

But you're right...I know someone will come along.

Maybe for the time being I should just write a book about my observations on society :)
