Stupid Things People Say To Singles

Justin Holcomb:

In celebration of Valentine’s day, I’m listing some the stupid things said to or by my friends about being single.

• There’s sin in your life that God wants you to work through first. Once you work it out, he’ll bring you a spouse.
• You should probably need to lower your standards. You’re only interested in men/women who are above your level. You need to be more realistic about who you are and what kind of guy/woman you can expect to be interested in you.
• You aren’t confident enough. If you liked you, guys/women would like you, too.
• Guys are intimidated by you. The more you accomplish, the less guys will want to ask you out.
• Why are you still single? Don’t you go to a huge church with lots of singles?
• Just stop thinking about it, then it will happen.
• God probably has you single for you to learn something. What is He trying to teach you?
• Maybe there’s sin that you need to deal with and He’s preventing you from inviting someone else into your sin.
• When you’re fully content in Him, then He will bring you a spouse.
• Maybe you’re not praying enough for a spouse.
• Put yourself out there.
• If you just lost 20 pounds a guy would be able to see how wonderful you truly are.
• God is trying to teach you something in this season. Once you learn it, he’ll bring you a spouse.
• Don’t worry, I’m sure you’re next!
• I have a friend who was 35 when she got married, there’s still hope for you too.
• God betroths those who betroth themselves.
• When you’re fully satisfied in God, then he’ll bring you a spouse.
• You get to be married to Jesus.
• Jesus was single on Valentines day, so you’re in good company.
• I know you feel lonely and broken hearted, but Jesus literally had a broken heart, when they pierced it for your sins.
• Loneliness is God’s way of drawing you to himself.
• She’s out there, man. Just have more faith.
• You’re gift on Valentine’s Day is singleness.
• You might be single, but they’re are other people who probably wish they were single.
• Go watch Bridget Jones Diary and feel sorry for yourself.
• I can’t remember the last time I was single on Valentine’s day.
• God works together all things for those who love him, even those who aren’t loved by anyone… especially on Valentine’s.
• Maybe you’re gay.
