“Just be patient, you’ll find someone!”, this is a phrase I absolutely hate to hear. I hate hearing it simply because I know how true it is, but I also know how impatient I am. I have never been a girl that likes to have to wait, but trust me I have been doing it for quite a while, so I have gotten somewhat better at it.

I have been single for right at 2 years, so obviously the phrase “just be patient, you’ll find someone!” has been said to me more times than I would like to admit. The crazy thing is though, it is the people that have been in happy relationships for years that are the ones to always tell me this; like I seriously even doubt that they remember what it is like to be single.

Being single is actually pretty hard this day in time, especially if you are a girl with standards. I am personally a rather quiet and reserved girl and I would much rather stay at home and watch a movie than go out and party on the weekends. I have been called an “old soul”quite a good bit, simply because of the fact that I am so relaxed and have never cared for the whole party scene. Most guys want a girl that dresses like a tramp and goes to a numerous amount of parties on the weekends, but I am simply not like that.

Most teenagers go through a wild and crazy phase, but I have never had the desire to. In a way I feel like I missed out on typical teenage moments because of that fact, but I also am proud of myself for never doing some of those typical teenage things.

But with all of this being said, most guys don’t usually go for the girl with the basket of board games and movies. As I said in one of my earlier blogs my family is famous for asking me if I am in a relationship, and the answer is always NO. When I respond with my answer I always get the same look of pity from them, but I honestly don’t think of it as a big pity party. I think of it as me being a girl with standards that only a special guy can meet.

I am being patient, even though it is REALLY hard at certain times. I am being patient for the guy that is truly going to love me for the person I am (board games and all). I am being patient for the guy who is going to love the fact that I would much rather prefer a low key date to the movies, rather than an overly fancy evening.

As girls, I feel like it is in our basic anatomy to be impatient. But I am telling all of you single girls like me, we will find someone, even if it takes a ridiculous amount of patience and a unreal amount of waiting. God has made someone perfect for every SINGLE one of us, we just have to go through a few wrong turns and obstacles to find them (it’s all a part of chase, right?). So with all of this being said just be patient because girl, he is coming. He’s just coming at his own pace.
