If there is lack of good single christian females in my church, is it because God doesn't want me distracted?

Maybe you are turing off the "desirable women" because you don't want more children and do not have a religous preference. Most attractive ladies like to be loved for their mind too, instead of just their bodies..After all eventually beauty fades...Then you either love a lady for her eternal beauty that she has forever, or you leave her for the next beauty until you see a better "eye candy" to latch on too. Maybe it is not your looks...it could just be you....

Ummmm....ok? You need to wait until God sends her to you. He won't let you down. Because, someday you will find her. It just hasn't found you yet. Trust me, she is looking for you to!

Just continue praying. as long as you don't yield to the "wolves in sheep skin" the Lord will bring the right man your way. they are so many and also searching. Try getting involved in church activities, you will meet committed men there. Don't forget to test every spirit; 1john:4 Blessings

Yeah, you do sound like a perfect match here.. (I'm listening to your friends here too.. they're all Christians, they know you 2 guys.. we're a load of strangers out here and do not.) I am glad you are Christians and it'll pay off.. I hope you do not get a lot of rude-comments in here.. (people are like that.. you sound like a really nice girl, er woman.) I was thinking back when I was in h.s./then college.. Back then it was a big age difference to have a high school and college 'kid' hook up.. (too much difference..) Now I don't know(?) (Guess I am too old!.. lol.. 53/f) I think if you've got these same morals (you don't sound in any HUGe hurry here, that's good) you should pray on it, wait some more. Can you talk to your minister? (I know.. it's embarassing.. how about talking to the minister's wife? other women in the church?) You'd be surprised (if it's like MY church) how helpful they can be! (might put in a good word for ya even.. wink) IF this guy is looking (and he will be) for a good CHRIStian wife, don't worry, he'll go straight back to his favorite church (and guess what?! YOU'll be there!) good luck.. I'll be praying for you two.. peace out

Well, I think that church has to be a key place to meet people, if you are not interested in dating only people from work.  Or perhaps, take a class at the local university (particularly a graduate course)

wow. ^^^you are a moron. not you bunny...this cherry sk*nk...\n\nmaybe she goes on and on about you because you are a psycho stalker...\n\nand uhm...how would you know she's a skanky whore?...did she tell you that?...i doubt it. grow up.\n\nin response to your question: I believe some christians are like this because they don't know any better. they preach what has been preached to them. they don't understand it...or don't care...or maybe even think their lives are an exception to the rule and they can do as they please and then "repent" because they are already "saved"...\n\nthis just seems to be the common explanation in the christian girls that have tried to brainwash me anyhow.

It takes more than praying.  Go and find them!  Try church groups, religious themed dating websites, and always be on the look out.  Best of luck.

Well I am a 22 christian woman so I would like to find someone with the same religious understanding as I do. I want some one who can make me laugh. Who will love me not only for the good things about me but some one can love me for my flaws as well. I would love to find someone who can encourage me and someone who can look at me when I'm tired and my face is a mess and I haven't brushed my hair and say you are so beautiful. Sometimes I think there is no one out there like that, no one for me but as a christian  I know and trust that god has created someone for us all and we just have to be patient and wait for the right time. I hoped I helped and yes I know I get a little carried away with the sappy stuff. God Bless

I used to think God hated women but through study and prayer I learned that we are created equal.  Jesus loves me like he loves my husband!  In fact women tend to sometimes be more spiritually sensitive.  It is our nature to pay more attention to detail then most men.  A lot of times we as women seek God's companionship a little harder.  Now of course there are plenty of men that do the same. Ask God to show you the answer to your question he'll be glad to guide you through.

there are still missionaries,and you should only marry in the Lord,so that covers dating as well.why date nonbelievers if it can't go any farther?

>>>I currently don't have a wife or girlfriend (although I most positively AM straight) and was giving serious thought to being single for the rest of my life so I could pursue spiritual and humanitarian goals<<<\n\nWhy not?  Catholic bishops, priests, brothers, and nuns have been doing this for centuries.  \n\nEven if you're not a Catholic priest or nun -- or even if you're not Catholic -- it's entirely possible to do this.\n\nJesus spoke of those who "made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom" and He gently challenged people to accept this lifestyle if it were within their abilities (Mt 19:12).  \n\nSt. Paul writes about how the single man can be more devoted to God -- though he didn't denigrate marriage at all, saying that marriage too was a bona fide Christian vocation. \n\nI think it's great that you're seeing the single state as an opportunity to "pursue spiritual and humanitarian goals" when a lot of the rest of us would see it as the opportunity to turn life into a big party.  \n\nAnd who knows?  You can live this life for a certain period of time, and then later on meet a woman and ... well, you know.

Perhaps you're in the wrong....oops, incompatible...group of Christians.\nSome churches, The Vineyard just for one, play worship music with what probably pass for rock music instruments.\nFind a new group of Christians - I'm thinking you want to be with those who build you up, not tear you down, who encourage you, not discourage you.  You want to be prepared to live IN the world, without being OF the world.  Of relating to all people without relating to all that they do.\nThey're out there.  I've found them!

Well, being a young woman waiting on the husband that God has for me, I can see precisely what you are saying. I am a confident young lady and yes I have had the upper hand with most of the men that I have dated. But I do not believe that it is because I am pushy. I believe that men have lost their rightful place in the household, men need to grow some backbone and stop letting women run all over them. I am not saying that a man should be violent to hold his place. He shold be firm yet gentle. Women also need to stop jumping into marriages that God didn't have favor over so then they would not have to show thier witts so much because the man that God has for them will respect them for what God has made them to be (by then, they woman will have already found herself). I am tired of my female friends who always have the same man problem when they need to find God and find who he made them to be. No man wants an annoying woman andthat is stated in the Bible because Solomen said it is is better to live on the corner of a rooftop than in a house with a quarrelsome wife.

You have to give them something to look forward to.  There has to be something attractive about it.  Music for one, if you've got the old organ droning on, you won't see a young person within miles of your church.  If you've got electric guitars, a keyboard, and a drumset, you are closer.  Teenagers will come if there is a program that is promising for them.  If it's a place that they can come and hang out and do fun things while learning about Christ.  It's a lot of work, but college students need to have a ministry dedicated especially to them while they are in school.  Single adults will go if they have friends that go.  If you can appeal to one friend then you may be able to get more, but chances are attract a single, single adult will be difficult because they would rather use their Sunday mornings to sleep in than go to church.  A later service may be the ideal way to combat that.  Good luck and prayers for the growth of a younger community at your church.

No one to talk with?\nWell, surely you can find other "mothers'" groups.\nAnd how about your husband?\nAnd you are young enough, perhaps you have parents?\n\nWhat about being a man, alone, no wife, no siblings, no parents living, etc.  Single women find their coffee clubs, etc. Married couples say single men should just "learn to get along by themselves". Ministers/pastors even ignore that we exist. New Year's Eve ... they hold a watch-night service at 7pm so "couples can evangelistically entertain other couples" for midnight but have 7pm early Communiion service so families can attend together.   Hey!!  Don't they even see us?? Don't they care about us??\n\nOf course maybe you also have some depression caused to stree from two (probably) young children, etc.  Do try to find some "support group" or two or three people that will support each other.  Would be nice to find fellow Christians, but don't refuse nice persons who don't talk Christianity either.\n\nDon't give up; don't feel that your future is going to be bad. Sometimes we can be pleasantly surprised.  And who is it that takes from us the Joy of God's Salvation?  (Psalma 15:12).\n\nAs the chorus "Brownsville Revival" suggests:  "I went to the enemy's came, and I took back what he stole from me".\n\nNo, nothing wrong with wanting a fellow Chrstian person who will listen, understand, and share.  But don't totally rule out some "pills" if your family doctor suggests it; sometimes a chemical imbalance can be the problem and God has provided doctors with knowledge. I don't know much about it but I have heard that a young mother with two young children can sometimes have chemical imbalances; God can correct it OR God can give the doctors the knowledge needed.\n\nDon't give up!!\nIf your home church isn't helpful, then try another of similar denomination ... or try others.
