I have read a lot of books on singleness but not one line out of all those books caught my attention more than this line – You know you are single when you have to sit at the kiddies table at Christmas! I really thought that summed it up nicely. It also reminds me of that scene in Bridget Jones where she is sitting at dinner surrounded by a table full of happy couples, or in my case happy couples with 2.5 children, a house and a dog. I was constantly surrounded by women that had the thing that I longed for, a husband, house and family and these things stared me back directly in the face. These women were always lovely and tryed to be well-meaning Christians and would love to say to me “I don’t understand why you are single, but a guy will come along in God’s perfect time”. I knew it was true, but let’s be honest, I really just really wanted to punch the next person that said that, mainly because they did not understand what I was longing for, and that I craved to be in relationship. I had read Christian dating books and the truth is I didnt want to kiss dating goodbye, I wanted to kiss it hello!
