Im a young guy in my twenties and Im currently single. To me, dating and everything just seems exausting. Dont get me wrong, I like to go out and party and have fun but its like I would just like to skip ahead about fifteen yrs. have a good women to love and chrerish, have a small family and just be done with it. I realize you cant have a wife without dating but realy? I dont want to go out there and play all these games that are being played by my generation nowadays. Is this normal???

It is normal and I find your attitude very refreshing. You are going to make some woman very happy someday
That being said I think you need to experience dating a few women before you settle down so that you can be sure what it is that you want out of a relationship.

I'm about 15 years ahead of you at 39 and I'm still not interested in being married or having kids. Have a good time and live a fulfilling life. Don't skip the dating, though. That's part of it.

Dating can be exhausting, especially if you are trying too hard. Don't play games, be yourself, have fun, and hopefully, you will meet a woman with the same goals you have .

HAHA~ Don`t feel bad. Every episode I watch of "Little house" and "The Waltons" I wish I was living back then, so its normal to fantasize to what you enjoy the most!
I can`t say that I blame you wanting to skip the generation!

Yeah I think it's different from the norm. Seems like most people your age are just interested in ****ing like wild rabbits with a new person each week. I get how you feel though, I'd like to just press 'skip' and end up with "the one" and not have to deal with the bull**** that is dating.

It is not normal at your age because you are showing restraint and maturity instead of being a follower of a decandent and dangerous culture which makes fun of sexual hedonism despite the many thousands that have lost their lives / have become sterile / get a permanent 'companion' from STD's . I personally commend you for your desires to be mature and bypass very real and potential trouble. You are part of a responsible minority for sure. There are also women out there who feel the same way you do , but nowadays i think they are the minority too. Your best bet is going to be to meet women who have a walk with God and desire values, morals, and ethics for her life ; you can often find this variety at larger church Singles Ministries , Christian Online Dating, and Christian Dating magazines . I really wish you well in your endeavor because you display wisdom and concern...and i hope you are rewarded with a like minded lady that you can build a future with .

Find someone conservative with good family life. Perhaps they have more similar goals to you. BTW if you think your problems are over when your married, I'd disagree. Thats when all the problems you didnt have while you were dating come out. I suggest you date "nice" girls with a good dating history, ie. not TOO many relaltionships, relationships are long and steady, less emotional baggage.
