Advice for Every Single Christian Female – Avoiding Desperation
At some point of our lives, we will find forces from within us that will make us long for companionship; be it friends or a certain mate. It is only formal for us to feel this way. God made us all like this and it will always be a part of every single Christian Female and male. Christian singles dating is one way of filling our longing for a companionship.
Some people misinterpret this feeling of longing for a companionship and some of them abuse it. These “longing” can go the wrong way if you don’t discipline yourself. You will make this an excuse to date different people endlessly. While I am not entirely against dating with different people, dating several at the same time is a different story. But let’s not go there.
If a single Christian female find herself in the position of feeling desperate in finding the companionship that she has been longing for, she should relax, sit back and think things through first. Stubbornly forcing herself to date again and again would only result to devastating results for both herself and her partner.
Desperation can also happen after an end of a long relationship. Oftentimes, people undergoing situations like these tend to go back to the dating scene for a rebound. What they don’t know is they are just asking for more pain. Desperation cannot be relieved by just finding a replacement. Here are a couple of things you should consider when facing desperation:
1. Know that only Christ can fully satisfy our needs. We humans are very hard to satisfy and we will always want more. Failing to obtain these “wants” will result to desperation. Having the feeling of self-contentment is one way of avoiding desperation.
2. If you are a girl, look for another single Christian female or two, befriend them and ask for some counseling. Sometimes the feeling of “longing” can be satisfied by having close friends that you can always relate to and spend some time with.
3. A single Christian female or male undergoing stress regarding this matter should consult a Christian counselor. Before one can go back to the dating scene, he/she should be in a healthy state of mind. The “longing” that you are feeling is a double edged blade. If you are not careful, you might end up hurting yourself again and again. In order for you to avoid hurting yourself and the one that you are dating, see a Christian counselor first to see if you are ready.
Desperation is never good for a single Christian female. For me, the most effective way of avoiding desperation is to think positively. Always look at the bright side of things and you will end up fine. Sulking over something over and over again will only make you feel depressed. Depression will lead to desperation so it will best for you to avoid staying depressed all of the time. Avoiding desperation will not be easy but everybody must face it at some point of their lives. Keep a positive way of thinking and you will be just fine.
