Oh boy ... you're gettin` ready to reply with one o` those 'After-School Special'-answers like "Oh You're somebody special ohh yesSooARE!" To which I MIGHT respond, 'Really! Are you going to marry me?' to which you respond "No, but ..." blah-blah-blah-blehhhhhhhh
But I just got finished telling somebody how to 'get over' being single: to focus on 'your job.' But then I 'realized' that I'm not sure of my "purpose" here---oh, I know we're here to "serve G*d" or whatever; but that only tells me my purpose isn't 'to get in the way of anyone else's service-to-G*d.'
It doesn't tell me anything "definite," like 'you are meant to be a choirboy' or 'you are meant to be an entertainer' or 'you are meant to be king of the world' or 'you are meant to be the queen's fifth nephew, thrice removed.'
How am I to find someone whose purpose it is to be a "help meet for me" to serve my purpose if I don't know specifically what my purpose is & so don't know what 'meets' me?

One suggestion, Get out and see people. I mean go out and enjoy a hobby. That way you may meet people who enjoy the same hobby. Unless you are going to rent a date online , there is no way for your soulmate to find you. As for purpose, I never thought I had a purpose but here I am living.

It isn't about being respectable. It is about having fun. Go For It!

How can I find a drama-club outside of school? (I tried 'moving-in near a drama-school,' but they don't tell you anything about their in-school drama-club if you're not a STUDENT there )

What is it you want? and where do you see yourself? I think you should have time to know exactly what it is you want then you'll just have to let things happen on its own.

Whoa. It's not my job to 'know myself.' Because I'm incredible, so--if I get to know myself too well--I become 'too good for anyone else' (or something).
I need somebody to learn all about me without trying, to 'know me better than I know myself' without flaunting that knowledge, only using it to aim me closer to my position in the Kingdom of God (just got back from Sabbath Fellowship, where all the good girls are already married )

Well, I think a lot of times we as people are often wanting to try to hard to impress others, and wondering if everyone we ever meet is going to be that special someone. But I wonder how many times, we as people Pray to god and wait for our answers and quit being in a rush and getting disappointed when nothing happens.
For me, I had all but given up the day I met my husband. God told me I was going to meet someone that day, and I did, and the rest is history. If I would have ignored God that day who knows where I would be, so people need to be more attentive sometimes and be ready to respond. Because sometimes it could be in ways you least expect it.

No one can tell that exactly. No one can help you but yourself. You have to patient.

I guess the question(s) I'm really asking is/are "What KIND of a woman is out there looking for the kinda guy I am? And if there's such a species out there, where does she hang out? And if she hangs out there, what excuse can I have for hanging out there too? ({crossing-fingers}don't be in a male strip-club, don't be in a male strip-club, don't be in a male strip-club )
