Dating? Don't think so!

I'm not sure if I had mentioned this in my last posting, but apparently, "caring" friends and family are surrounding me with the thought/idea that I should be dating.
This is from the same people who, once I do attempt to date, say that I should NOT be dating, because, well, then I'm..not available.
Okay, so..normally, I would be thankful that I have people that are concerned to the point of not wanting me to be the old lady with 50 cats running around in her house(not that I could have them, living in an apartment that doesn't allow such pets). But, for the first ever in my life...I'm actually content being single. No, I really don't want to date. Seriously!
I guess it has a lot to do with me taking time to learn more about and appreciate God. The whole family is doing it! I just don't feel that "loneliness" that I used to for so long. I'm finally content with not having to share my king sized bed with some farting, not-as-attractive after they got naked guy. I'm content with not having to limit my choice of "what's for dinner?" because my boyfriend doesn't like such-and-such or doesn't eat..whatever they don't eat. And, dare I say, I rather enjoy NOT having to shave my legs as often, because no one is touching them(except my kids, but they really don't care)!!!
Does this mean I'm "doomed to be single for the rest of my life? That I'm actually one of "those people" who willingly want to be single for the rest of their life to glorify God? Simply put...NO!
I desire nothing more than to have a HUSBAND to share and relate with. To love, and be loved in return. I'm only human, after all, and as a human, "it is not right for man(or woman) to be alone" so says God in Genesis.
But is dating and the thought of being single haunting me like the plague? No. God is working in my life, I see that with each day. I'm not saying I don't have moments when I feel lonely. I do. But, they don't bother me like they did a year ago. I have my family more grounded in scripture, and in doing so, I have learn to be okay with this time to be single. I'm at the point now, where I'm downright thankful for it.
The other day, my friend tried to play 'matchmaker' and..let's just say, it went TERRIBLE! I guess, too, after all the bad ones I've dealt with, I'm more willing to stick to guns about what I prefer. And the only thing he had going in his favor was that he was white (and I prefer white men). We talked, he was nice and all, but I knew from the get-go that it was not a match made by God.
Do you know what I wish, sometimes? I really wish the man God has made out to be my husband would just "bump into me" one day, and we'd do one date, and he'd propose. And we'd live happily ever after(or something like that)...the end. BUT, since we live in the 'real world' and that sort of stuff doesn't happen much anymore...I'm just being content being single.
I'm not saying that I will never,ever,date a man again. I'm just saying...that at this point and time in my life, it's just not a top priority in my life. It's at the bottom of my list. Right after 'becoming a billionaire' . LOL
I just have too much stuff going on in my life right now. I'm trying so hard to get it all right(and get it right with God), that I'm a bit afraid of dating. I'm doing a home-based business. I'm officially homeschooling my kids, starting next month. I'm trying to get some sort of better education for myself(thinking of a certificate in medical coding, at the moment). I'm trying to find a church that doesn't weird me out(just got out of a Jehovah's Witness Church...if anyone has been to one and left, then you know what I mean). I'm trying to move to Idaho. There is just too much going on right now to add a potential relationship on the list!
And I'm quite okay with that. Really, I am. As I collapse onto my king-sized bed each night, exhausted, I can't help but thank God for this time to be single. I can't help but thank God for this time to do things His way, without having to answer to a 'boyfriend'. I'm glad I can use this time to perfect(or start to learn) my homemaking skills, what I want out of life(with or without a spouse), and I can reflect on how best to give God the glory each day.
Dating? Not for me, not anytime soon!
