Dear Woman Alive,

I am 28, and have a list of what my ideal man would be like. Firstly that he is also a Christian - but a sold-out Christian, not just a Sunday Christian if you know what I mean. I would also like him to be taller than me, into exercise, clever, funny and ki

nd. I want a guy I respect, who makes me a better version of myself. However, I am still single, and I don’t know if I will ever find him. My friends are all getting married, and I worry that all the good guys are gone. Should I settle for something less than what I hoped for?

What do you suggest I do?
