God does the "impossible". It is their choice to "not listen" but, you still planted that seed. And it's something we don't shove down their throats...we give the Word, and pray for that person and continue walking on, as Christ did. It is not our place to judge those outside the church as that would be putting ourselves on the very throne of God! Yikes!
I too am an introvert brother and have been for over 20 years for the most part. It just shrinks our lives to the size of a pea. And, we do no good to others. ask God for opportunities and He will SURELY bring them. Don't isolate, I am paying dearly for that as my social skills have also shrunk.
Trust, pray and believe...then just thank Him each day with a smile on your face and peace in your heart - KNOWING He heard you and He WILL work, in His time. Just thank Him everyday and go on about your business. Our God is in the business of Miracles! :)
And haven't you considered that your introversion and lack of social skills may be a blessing from God intended to save you from the deadly pain of being surrounded by wicked bullies who are constantly tempting and leading you astray from God, and to let you focus and develop a deeper faith in Him?

I almost said the same thing. He is young. At the very start of his life. He is not mature enough yet to realise that outward beauty is no good with the inner beauty of a quiet and gentle spirit. The world today imposes 'standards' of acceptable beauty that is just skin deep but to grow old together with a soul mate as I have done is worth waiting for. I was 30 when I married him and we've been wed for 50 years. And he still tells me he loves me, we still work together and we still love each other deeply. I hope our young friend will wait for the best God has to give. He choose better than we can.
From what I can see, most people here are hideous in both the outside and the inside.

Man is not meant to be alone, rather we are meant to fellowship with another.

A choice to isolate yourself goes against God’s ways. You are letting the memory of those bullies rule your life, and keep you from the joy Christ wants for you.

Please, please in the name of our Lord I beg you to get the help and healing He wants for you!! His yoke is light! Freedom from the scars, pain, and chains of the past. Rejoicing with Him and the Saints.

I didn’t get the sense of this young man looking outwardly so much....yet we know that is precisely what the world advocates 24-7.

But did want to say to you, what a beautiful testimony of your marriage. I don’t presume 50 years was without challenges, but your testimony reveals, that old saying of don’t sweat the small stuff....which can be quick to rise a temper, and afterwards realizing it was petty....and the wisdom to set aside that nonsense, and hang on to what your testimony reveals....the bottom line important things.
Thanks for sharing. Beautiful.

God Bless,

Talk what you want, but this is all I can see in my around. Depravity, zero moral values, and hate towards anything that makes them "feel bad".
Then, you need to get out more. Is there depravity, zero moral values and hate? Yes. But there's also people who DO have strong morals...kindness...compassion...empathy...fairness...and forgiveness.

I just noticed that most commenters here come from way older generations. So maybe you just aren't that aware of the generations that have come, and are coming, more recently.
Oh believe me. Most of us 'older folk' are very aware of the goings on of the younger generations. I have 2 daughters, both in their late 20's. They both keep me informed.

And last thing... are you saying that if I don't agree with the society's views on casual sex, contraception, alcohol, women's role, etc I have to consider my views again? Because all I can see is that the society thinks everything the opposite that God thinks.
Now, you know I didn't say, or even allude to that at all. I can understand your views on casual sex (for example). Although, it's going to be more difficult for you to find a woman (when you're ready) who meets that standard. As for "women's roles"...that view is pretty outdated. And one of the reasons why the roles shifted is because they were...by large...unfair.

Consider The Golden Rule. Do unto others. If you wouldn't want to be under your wife's thumb, then don't put her under yours.

When you learn how to accept other people as they are and without judgment, you might have different desires regarding a potential spouse. Give it time. There is a time and a season for all things under heaven, and you just can't rush the seasons or control the times.
Accept what people? The ones that want to bring me into hell with them?

And sure I will be patient. I'm not in a rush to get married. There's anyway a big chance that I will die without having ever had the experience of a date, as nobody here seems to be anything close to either my standards or yours.

The problem is that pretty much everyone is so lost that they will simply not listen anything different from what the society tells them.

While that may be true.....pay attention to your own words...
“Pretty much”......leaves room, that it is not ALL.

“IF” you could ORDER a Bride, then what about YOU. Are you “prepared” to BE a husband, provide a home, provide her needs, provide for children?

Currently you say you are comfortable, perhaps lonely for companionship, but if your “comfort”, is currently at someone else’s expense, you have to make your own preparations to be a husband, according to Gods Word, as you say that is your hopes for a wife.

Do you know what is “worse” than an Unbeliever (ie. An infidel) ?

1 Tim 5:
[8] But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

Pretty profound, eh? Who could imagine something worse than an Unbeliever?

And pretty weird, How many profess their FAITH, yet are constantly on the prowl for someone else to PAY for their families provisions.

God Bless,

Agree. Might have been a time when a sweet young thing went door to door selling avon or some such thing....having a chance meeting....

But not in this day, hoping some sweet young thing is going to appear on ones door step. The milk man, the ice cream man, the fuller brush man....lol

And where are all those people with strong morals, kindness, compassion, empathy, fairness and forgiveness you talk about?

Maybe they are isolated in their homes avoiding this evil wicked society?

So you are saying the Bible is unfair. Wow.

@ShyIntrovert ~

Want to make mention to you of an international organization started in the US, 25 years ago. It’s called “True Love Waits” (ie TLW).

Perhaps you can research their organization and operations and intent...and see if that is something along that line that is appealing to you.

God Bless,

It’s not that the Bible is “unfair”, but it certainly does have an ORDER and WAY....and women simply are not at the top of the ORDER.

The ORDER has always been, the Lord God, angels, men, women, children.
Society changes the ORDER and WAY, God didn’t.

Just saying.

Very true. It's the NWO what has brought feminism, marxism and all the kind of things that are destroying our world and turning it into a softcore hell.

Did I say there were a LOT of them? No, I didn't. But there are out there. I've known a few in my life.

Christ didn't isolate himself inside his home. He was out in the world preaching to sinners.

So you are saying the Bible is unfair. Wow.
Wow. You certainly do like to put words in people's mouths! Again, I never said the Bible is unfair. However, some people do tend to misread and misinterpret the Bible quite often.

We have to live in the world, but as Christians we don't have to be part of it. And being older we are wiser so don't knock it. We can understand the frustrations of the modern world, we have children or grandchildren going through much the same things as you are. We don't need to subscribe to the world's view of things. Just keep your eyes focused on Jesus and trust in God. In Christianity age does not mean the same as it does in the world. We are brothers and sisters so please don't dismiss what we have said because you think we are too old to matter. Age is not a crime it is a privilege.

Sounds like you found each other! Bless both of you...

Tell me...did you and/or your husband have the same kind of strict 'rules' that our OP has? (I think I already know the answer. ;))
No strict rules.

Nah, I mean the ones in real life.
Oh sorry about the misunderstanding. Over the years god has taught me to see people through eyes that have been opened by God. I have learned tolerance. But I agree with you there is so much depravity these days. It is a much more Godless world than the world I grew up in. But God is the same God, He loves all these depraved people, all the misfits and longs for them to be reconciled to him.

If you remember Moses was also a shy introvert, and pleaded with God to choose somebody else to lead the Israelites out of captivity in Egypt.

Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue. The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.” But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.” Exodus 4:10-13

And what about this verse:

2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
