How Can We As Christian Singles Make Dating A More Positive Experience?
How can we as Christian Singles make dating a more positive and humane experience?
Matters of the heart are never simple. In my Christian walk, I value gentleness and the last thing I would want to do is break someone's heart. I have had my heart broken, but have learned much from the experience. I have learned that God is always with me and I feel I am stronger from the experience. Also Our Savior was single, so I'm in good company. But how can, we, as Christian men and women, transform the single's scene to one of deep caring and dignity. It is very rough out there.

Hi Ladies,
As a single Christian man that is raising his 2 children I can attest to the fact that it is equally frustrating from a mans position. All I desire is a good Christian woman that I can honor in a loving Chritian relationship that leads to marriage. I feel I have so much to offer but God has not the right woman in my path yet. I hope someday that does happen but sometimes I feel I am the only unmarried Christian man out there. I guess the real answer is to stay the course and trust God will give us what is in his will. I will pray that you find someone God would want you to be with.
Roger :-)

Dear Roger:
I pray we both meet someone nice. I think it is easier landing on the moon than meeting someone. So many terrible people out there. It is very sad. In my youth things were so much better.
Yours truly,
Wendy

I am completely happy doing my work for the Lord in a single status. You are the one who must come to grips with where you are in life. Seek and you will find your purpose. If you find a purpose in your life you will stop yearning for what you DON'T have.
This my sister in Christ is what you must do first before you can make dating a positive experience. Don't date until you are sure it is someone that you can go forward with based upon BOTH of your purposes IN CHRIST. You will know when he is the right one to go out with because your walks with the Lord will be evenly YOKED. You both will treat each other the way you want and should be treated but first you must fulfill your destiny with Christ Jesus then all things will be added unto you.
Until then don't even try to date because you will only meet with a bunch of dead end streets....and if you have children it is not good to teach them to jump from man to man or woman to woman. You must make good solid choices and that does not mean take every date invitation that comes along. Don't keep kissing a bunch of frogs thinking he will turn into a Prince ....that ain't happening!
Please just wait upon the Lord to send you the right person and pass up all the rest until he does. It is not so bad serving the Lord alone like you said Jesus did it and that's good enough for me!

Dear Wendy,
I don't blame you for shying away from dating. You have to do what you feel to do. You're a beautiful talented person, and I believe beautiful things will come your way. I do know what you mean about wanting to bring Dr. Phil, etc!!
Love,
Kim

Keep it as group dating. There's too much pressure otherwise. We should just be our everyday horrible selves so that the person knows what they're in store for. I mean come on, anything else would be dishonest. Ok, taking a shower beforehand is acceptable, even encouraged. If its right, things will be so right.

Group dating is great, good place to find friends of either sex. However if after awhile of meeting someone in a group, one person may ask for a more private setting(date) to get to know others more closely. If this happens don't reject it right away, odd are great amoung Christians that the asker has prayed hard on asking for that date. Please take your time to do the same. But if you say "yes or no" to quickly you won't know if it is your will or God's. Remember Jerimiah states that often our plans are not God's plan. P S. GUYS OUT THERE YOU HAVE TO PRAY AND ASK MORE.

Kim: It is very funny what u wrote here. I think u are so on to it. I go up to guys/girls too - just to say hi and get to meet people - I'm not trying to hit on anyone but to just get to know someone and maybe be FRIENDS. I think some people think I'm hitting on them and that is not the case. Girls just want to have fun and to meet differnt people and have some FRIENDS. It is so hard to date after 40 yrs old. It gets harder and harder each year. Hopefully, Lord willing we can all meet the people we SHOULD KNOW and be INVOLVED WITH. :)
