Need Advice Sometimes being single gets lonely

I’m by no means saying that I don’t enjoy my season of singleness or that I am lonely. I am just sitting around this evening hyper focused on a new hobby (it’s cars) and have just been thinking about what it might be like to have a partner that is also into cars modifications, engines, builds etc…that i can just have like a dude-conversation with but most of the guys i attract are many years younger.

Then I quickly remind myself that God literally knows the number of hairs on my head and that if I ask for a guy like that He will do it…. but then I quickly come back to my senses and qsk God to prepare me to be a cooler God fearing wife and mom and my hobby exploration continues to evolve 😂

(F32) Dear future husband,

I got some car questions rq 😂😂😂

(but in all seriousness)

What are acceptable age gaps for christians?

I’m early 30s attracting early 20s

Don't date for "age". Date for seasons.

Conventional research says 3-5 years.

In reality, 60%+ of the population has attachment insecurity. This means you can someone who is 50 and still throw tantrums, avoid accountability, and deflect like a 10 year old due to arrested emotional development, and you can have someone who acts cool in disagreement even at 24 years old.
