Friends offer all sorts of advice to single women: don’t be too aggressive or too backward, too friendly or too hard-to-get, too intellectual or too dumb, too earthy or too heavenly. Hang around till the bitter end of the singles barbecue – he might want to take you home. Or, don’t go to the singles barbecue at all. Just stay home and read your Bible and pray. It’s terribly confusing. ‘I don’t know how to play the game,’ wrote one frustrated girl. Nobody does. It’s chaos, frustration, confusion, and emotional devastation. It was never meant to be a game, so don’t try to play it. Leave it all in the Hands that were wounded for you…All is received and made holy by the One to whom it is offered.
