Feeling Lonely
One thing I’ve learned as a single woman? Singleness isn’t like those cute Instagram quotes people share and solo vacations or girls’ trips.
I’ve often felt like everybody around me is getting engaged and I’m the only one who is still alone. I would try to keep up with the group chat and be happy when my family/friends would share their wonderful relationship stories. Yet in the back of my mind, I would wonder what great news I was going to share (preferably that wasn’t about the latest meal I cooked or plant I killed). 🫠
Does this sound relatable? Maybe this is you right now. You feel lonely. You feel invisible. Your heart literally hurts. It feels heavy. Life doesn’t feel fair (or maybe you’ve always felt like you draw the short end of the stick).
You’re sick and tired of praying for companionship with nothing to show for it. Your prayers feel like they go nowhere and you’re starting to get tempted to just stop praying, stop believing, and stop wasting your breath.
If this is you, you’ve come to the right space. This space was created to be a balm for the ache of loneliness, sadness, envy, and unanswered prayers. Here, you’ll find: encouragement that speaks to your weary heart, strategies to help you build community, godly perspective for your dating journey, travel tips and hacks to help you enjoy this time you’re in, and reminders of the beauty in season — even when it doesn’t seem or feel beautiful to you.
I know it doesn’t always feel like it when you see your friend’s highlight reel or the large bouquet your sister got from her latest man, but here’s the truth:
You may not be in a relationship but you’re not alone and you’re not forgotten.
Regardless of what the devil (or your mind) would have you believe, God loves you, He wants relationship with you, and even now He is still writing your story. Don’t close the book of your life, sis! I promise you it’s only going to get better from here.
Standing Single?
It’s finally happened. You just learned that your little sister, cousin, or friend just got engaged. The two of you were the last ones left in that long line of women in your family who yearn for marriage yet have never seen it come to pass. And now with this latest proposal, you are the last single standing..
In the grand race of life, sometimes it feels like everybody is ahead of you. They have:
- Husbands
- Babies
- Cars
- Houses
- Cushy jobs
Yet here you are cuddled up with your Shih tzu, eating cold ramen, rewatching an episode of Girlfriends, and hoping the UPS guy brings the package to the top of the stairs so you won’t have to lug it up the flight of stairs yourself again! From your vantage point, it feels like everybody is moving forward yet you are standing still.
Guess what, sis? You weren’t left behind, forgotten, or overlooked — what you are is set apart.
I know what you’re thinking: “I don’t want to be set apart. I want to be coupled up!” 🙂↕️ Believe me, sis, I hear you! I’ve been there and currently, I’m still there. I’ve shed a lot of tears and had sleepless nights wondering “For the love of God, why am I still single?!!!“
But over time, God revealed to me that I was looking at things all wrong. Pastor James Ford Jr. said that when you go through tough times, don’t focus solely on the “why.” Instead, ask God “What are you trying to show/teach me?”
Once I started asking the right questions, I realized something I missed all along.
Singleness isn’t bad.
SIngleness isn’t worse than marriage.
Singleness isn’t a punishment.
It’s a training ground for your growth, preparation for life (not just marriage), and an opportunity for you to live life on your terms.
That is just one reason why this site was created. This space is here to flip the script on what the world says about singleness.
I no longer want you to see your singleness as a (potentially) lifelong prison sentence as I did at one point. Instead, I want you to see it as the place where you’re finally going to begin to live your life for you (and of course primarily God) and on your terms.
- You don’t have to run your decisions by your parents.
- You don’t have to run your decisions by your husband.
- You don’t have to get a babysitter for your kids.
- You don’t have to discuss the budget with a spouse to see if you can take that vacation.
Instead, you have the freedom of singleness to make decisions that are right for you, fulfill your purpose and calling, start that business, cultivate that idea, travel and see the world, and live your best life NOW.
For Single Women Only will show you how to live with intention, travel with confidence, date with discernment, find encouragement in those moments of loneliness and discouragement, and walk in purpose like the daughter of the King that you are. Don’t believe the enemy’s lies. Singleness isn’t second best — in many cases, it’s even better than you could ever imagine.
Waiting to Press “Play” On Your Life?
For so long I waited and waited and waited. I figured that once I got married, I could go out and do all the things and live my best life alongside my hubby. Tropical vacations. Nights out on the town. Dancing, wining, dining, and more. So what’s a girl to do when marriage doesn’t happen?
If you’re me, maybe you start to feel like you’re calling God but He has put you on hold. Yes, I know singleness can feel like the waiting room of life — but what if I told you it’s actually the launchpad?
Sis, this season is sacred. It’s a time for you to:
- Discover your passions
- Deepen your relationship with God
- Strengthen your friendships
- See the world
- Walk in purpose without distraction
At For Single Women Only, we’re all about highlighting the blessings, the freedom, and the fierce joy of singleness — not just as a pit stop before you get to the finish line, but as a beautiful chapter worth celebrating and enjoying NOW.
Forget what your family, culture, or society told you. You don’t have to wait on a partner to start enjoying all the best life has to offer. Press “play” and start living your life today.
So buckle up and leave that boring single life behind you. Get ready for the time of your life!
Overarching Theme
For Single Women Only (FSWO) is more than a website — it’s your new favorite corner of the internet.
I created this site because it’s something I wish I had when I was still floundering as a single. A community where you feel like you’re hearing from or talking to a sister and can get advice on any given subject you face as a single every day.
It’s an opportunity for you to hear from someone who’s been there (and is still there). It’s a chance for you to commiserate with someone who can relate. Someone who understands the emotional roller coaster that is singleness and online dating in 2025 and beyond.
Whether you’re navigating dating disappointments, dealing with lonely nights, worried about the aging process and how it will affect your dating prospects, concerned about your fertility, struggling with thoughts about traveling alone, or just trying to make the most of your single season, this is your space.
Here, you’ll find real talk about the highs and lows of singleness, soul-nourishing encouragement, travel tips for your next solo adventure, dating advice rooted in truth, humility, and grace, and honest reflections that remind you just how loved and valuable you are right now.
At For Single Women Only, we’re here to help you maximize this season, live boldly, grow deeply, and lean into community/sisterhood so these years become some of your absolute best.
Sis, you were never meant to press pause while you wait—you were meant to live.
