LavButterfly View Profile History	Do you men find it difficult to meet Christian women? Posted : 17 Nov, 2010 12:14 PM I am finding it very difficult to meet Christian men my age and was wondering if men have that same difficulty. My church is a small to medium sized congregation with few singles in my age group. We've tried more than once to begin a singles ministry and it's not been successful. I work in a small business where I seldom interact in person with people so I have no chance to meet anyone there. For myself, I find it extremely uncomfortable to go to singles activities where I don't know anyone at all. So, after all that...do you guys have this problem and if so what do you do about it? Thanks, RA :angel: Post Reply

Posted : 18 Nov, 2010 04:54 PM @CoolSouthernNights~~Being shy doesn't make it any easier to meet someone, but take heart! God is preparing a woman just for you that will have just the right amount of forwardness to bring you out of shy mode! Hang in there and keep praying and don't be afraid to say hi. Sometimes that's all it takes to get the ball rolling between two like minded people. Many blessings on you, my brother! :angel: Post Reply
View Profile History	Do you men find it difficult to meet Christian women? Posted : 19 Nov, 2010 02:51 PM I have found it almost impossible. The things I do (ie work, school, volunteering) end up being around what seems to be 0 Christians. So not much of a selection there. People in general do not seem to be open to meeting others, ie going to the mall, the store, movies, etc are not likely places to meet people. Church, well I attend a large church, but there seem to be no singles. Everyone is either way out of my age range or married. Also with larger churches it is evern hard to meet people, people walk in, sit down, listen, walk out. The few Christian women I have met are really hard to deal with. One had dumped her last boy friend because once a week he wanted to get together with his friends and play games. She didnt think that was very spiritual and he should be spending his tme doing more things to serve the Lord. She wanted someone who was willing to be a missionaries in Russia where she grew up. The few women I meet want a man who is going to be a missionary or pastor, or something. I don't know how to word the other problem I have without it coming out wrong. But I am very logical, rational, observational. At times I have questions, point things out that I see that don't make sense regarding faith, the church, etc. So while I regularly go to church, try to follow the Lord, pray, read my bible, believe, etc. I come across as not being very spiritual, or not spiritual enough, or not passionate for the Lord, so Christian women don't want to date me. So yes I find it hard to meet a Christian woman to date. Hope that answers your question. Post Reply

Posted : 19 Nov, 2010 08:29 PM @Shawn67~~I'm sorry to hear you've not had good experiences with Christian women! I don't know how to address that either. I know of the kind of women you're talking about and they are difficult to deal with. It's like they are pretending that everyone is at the same level in their faith and that all of us were meant to be missionaries and pastors. That's not the case. We're all gifted differently and if all of us were missionaries or preachers who would do all the other work that needs to be done? As for the other issue, it's my opinion that God wants us to use the brains he's given us. Asking questions and thinking out problems are good, but eventually it all comes down to believing what can't be proved and faith in what can't be seen. God can use our questions to draw us into a closer walk with him. I see by your answers and by several other answers that I'm not the only one finding it difficult to meet people. I lift us all in prayer to the one who knows intimately our needs and desires. I pray that he will move among his children and touch our lives, gives us contentment and give us courage to await his perfect timing! Post Reply

LavButterfly View Profile History	Do you men find it difficult to meet Christian women? Posted : 21 Nov, 2010 11:41 AM Hmmmmm....the younger singles in my church tend to be predominately female. You just never know how things are going to pan out in each different situation. As far as the flirting goes, it's not different for me because I first came to know the Lord when I was 9 and have been working on growing that relationship for a very long time now. Lifting up prayers for you, Sillybilly as you continue to grow and many blessings for your search for the one God has planned for you! :^) Post Reply
