God In Her Eyes

As I reflect on my life, one of the things I was pondering the fact that I do not have a significant other (aka a girlfriend!) in my life. And come to think about it, I am not even close to having one of those in my life. In fact, the way I see it, my romantic prospects look pretty bleak.

I have heard the questions: “What’s wrong with you? You have a job, you’re not bad looking, you have a good sense of humor, you seem intelligent; so what’s your problem? Is it possible that you are too picky?”

All of those questions and any more that you can think of miss the point. Think about it for a moment. There are people with better or worse jobs, who are better or worse looking, whose sense of humor is better or worse, who are smarter or dumber and/or who are more or less picky than I am and they have romantic partners. So, the answer is not that there is something “wrong” with me, because there are people who are “wronger” or “righter” than me and they may or may not have a boyfriend or girlfriend.

But what is the question and once that is determined, then what are the answers?

Getting back to where I started this post, as I reflect on my life, I think the correct response to the as yet unidentified question is “I do not see God in her eyes.”
