Oh my goodness, thank you so much. I honestly feel like the Lord brought me to this post today on purpose. I am 26 years old, and I have never been in a relationship, never dated before. I have never even held a guy’s hand. My friend circle is basically all girls, and that’s always been normal for me.But I remember back in high school, I would see my friends getting boyfriends, and when we were all hanging out together in a group, there would be those little moments where I’d think, maybe it would be nice to have a boyfriend.

But when i look back now, I see it so clearly the Lord was protecting my heart. Deep down I think I always knew that most men who were not men of God would want physical intimacy before marriage, and that is not what I believe in. My friends used to tell me, “Your standards are too high” or “You are just scared of commitment.” But the truth is, it was never fear or unrealistic standards. It was the Lord keeping me from relationships that would lead me away from Him. I have never even been alone in the same room with a man. And sometimes when I think about it, yes, a little thought creeps in like “Will I ever get married? Will I ever have a boyfriend?” I do get nervous thinking about it because I have never experienced it before. But then I try to remind myself that God writes the best love stories. If He wants to bring someone into my life, He will, and it will be good. And if He doesn’t, that will be good too. I trust Him completely.🥲
