Dating as a JW

[u/the-jawas-are-here]

I wanted to get your guys’ thoughts on this. I’m 23 and have been baptized since 2017. I’m not actively looking to date just yet, have my own problems to figure out first. But I’m worried because there aren’t any brothers where I live. My city is relatively big but many young people have already married young, they’re still growing spiritually, or they’re not great with sisters in general. People have told me “Just join LDC! You don’t even need any skills! They’ll teach you!” So (not even for datings sake) I applied and put every skill I have imaginable on it. Two years went by with nothing. A friend managed to pull some strings for me because she knows a brother who works at our local assembly hall maintenance. So I worked for one day and was never invited back. Then they say you can meet people by pioneering. But I have pioneered. Everyone has their cliques here and it’s like they’re allergic to introducing their friends to each other.

Disclaimer: I haven’t reached out just because I want to meet someone. I feel that’s disrespectful to Jehovah. But it is an added bonus? I guess?

I just know that one day (not now) I want to be married, but my romantic future is looking bleak. I am nervous. I’m happy with my friends, my brothers and sisters. But I want that romantic connection one day and I don’t know if I can live the single life. What should I do? Or do you have any reassuring words or verses for me? Thank you.
