I was recently talking to my extroverted friend at church and I said, “I just have to tell you… If you are trying to set me up with so and so I will NEVER be able to speak to them because I will be paranoid. So… if you want us to be friends please don’t have a hidden agenda.” She was like, “Girl, he is afraid of the same thing, so no… I’m done playing matchmaker.”
I appreciate that so much. Holy cow. It’s really hard to be single and in an sort of social setting. Especially when you’re friends are mostly married. I did get to meet some other girls in a similar life situation at the moment and it was super fun. Something that just comes with the territory though is people wanting to set you up. Especially if their own kids or grandkids are already married.
While being a Christian is probably the most important trait of a future husband, I would like to have more in common than the fact that we’re single and worship in the same building. Like… interests, hobbies, and it won’t help if we’re both super introverted because we will never socialize ever again…
I don’t want to seem ungrateful, it’s just not flattering when they literally know nothing about you but feel comfortable commenting on something as important and personal as romance.
