Being Single -

 
Being Single - a marital Status or a way of life 

Each of Person is a Single : 
1) never been married (or not marry yet )
2) separated, divorced 
3) widow / widowers 

Dating/Marriage/Remarry (see #3)  has no time constraints, if there are no other critical factors. 

Even married couple, each spouse has his/her own time to
be alone or with their own friends, joins other activities  (without the spouse ). 

Being Single does not mean being alone or feeling loneliness. 
Each person's  perception, life situation, pursues/goals  of life  is different.
Many single person set life goal which delays dating and/or  marriage. 

Social circle / Social life depends on individual interests, time, and ability to participate.

Milestones and stages of life can prolong or shorten of being Single. 
Many people remains Single for life with appropriate adaptations. 

In the Bible, God prepared a woman and brought Eve (a woman) to Adam while he was busy with his responsibilities. 
( I wished that I was Adam and didn't have to ask a girl out to date her). 

1. For the single ladies, God is preparing you during the singlehood. 
2. For the guys, you don't have to look for girls. 
   Be the right guy for the future girlfriend/wife.    

The problem of staying too long as Single (especially as a single man) is the sign of availability.   My experience was different single young ladies started "nudging" me. 
My prayer always worked.   I prayed that if God has a better husband /man planned for this sister-in Christ, don't let the relationship begins.  I was at peace for few years.

Like Reply 13w Gary Wright Your question is coming from a LAW perspective. Faith is a gift. It's not something you do, but rather, what God gives. The Holy Spirit imparts the GIFT of faith through Gospel and Sacrament. Any time one asks questions which begin with "how much", "how often", (i.e. attempting to quantify) you can be sure you're asking a LAW question and not a GOSPEL question. Faith is always a gift.

Church / Prayer

please turn your cell phone "side way" to read  “Church is hard. Church is hard for the person walking through the doors, afraid of judgment. Church is hard for the pastor’s family, under the microscope of an entire body. Church is hard for the prodigal soul returning home, broken and battered by the world. Church is hard for the girl who looks like she has it all together, but doesn’t. Church is hard for the couple who fought the entire ride to service. Church is hard for the single mom, surrounded by couples holding hands, and seemingly perfect families. Church is hard for the widow and widower with no invitation to lunch after service. Church is hard for the deacon with an estranged child. Church is hard for the person singing worship songs, overwhelmed by the weight of the lyrics. Church is hard for the man insecure in his role as a leader. Church is hard for the wife who longs to be led by a righteous man. Church is hard for the nursery volunteer who desperately longs fo...
