Is Church the Right Place to Find a Partner?

Has anyone every tried "connecting" with you at Church?

Is Church even the right place to make a "connection".

If you do connect at Church what happens if the relationship fails?

If you're single, do you go to Church in the hopes of meetinig that special someone? And if so, are you scoping out the surroundings during the sermon or hanging back at the end of the service to see who's there?

If you met someone at Church did you both stop going?

It can be the right place but I wouldn't look there. I don't expect people who go to church to be any better than people who don't go.

I think no because everybody there is playing a role.

How many Church Girls have you met that said over the phone: "Oh that's nasty. I don't do that."

Then when you get with 'em they take the bass out of your voice.

"Damn Baby! Where did you learn THAT?"

My experience has been that there are young boys or old men... at least at the church I go to. rolleyes

I actually wouldn't want someone from the church, because it seems like EVERYONE knows your business, and I'm not trying to date a congregation. neutral
Plus, sometimes church is the place where you go to feel better. I wouldn't want a bad/failed relationship to take that away from me. sad

Meet someone in the library or bookstore, a protest rally for equal rights or helping the homeless, or volunteering at a food bank. At least you know they can read, they aren't sexist, and their heart is in the right place. thumbs up!

I suppose under the RIGHT circumstances but I'm not "looking". I attend church for the lessons. As a single woman I've found that people tend to want to fix me up (don't know if they pitty me or what lol ) but I do find it somewhat uncomfortable.

I've been to many different churches and It's always the same, just because someone attends doesn't mean they're heart is in the right place and others are just lovely people.

^^^Yes, totally. I was thinking those same thoughts, Sunday; old men eeewwww (I get enough of that on my lunch break). And why are the guys at church my age, just plain icky?

And I certainly don't want everyone at the church in my bizness, that's a real turn-off.

Similar interests, ah yes. That sounds appropriate. Keep the worship to oneself and when you meet someone and it becomes serious, they can accompany you without pressure.

I overheard some guys Sunday and I'm pretty sure they were talking about me -- the gist of the conversation was like...who was going to approach me and while that might sound flattering it wasn't...it was like I was the last slice of cherry pie in the pan and they were flipping a coin to see who was going to get it. Arrggghh! Yes, this was just after church service.


Which brings up the next question:

Is it better to be chosen or is it better to do the choosing?

Not better to be chosen if they act like YOU don't have a choice in the matter. razz

Exactly, that's my point; the whole "someones got to get her(him)...'cant have her(him) coming to church by herself" attitude.

I know they mean well, but...help, I can't breath. dead

O.K. its really not that serious, but dang!

No they don't mean well. It's arrogant and ignorant. It used to irk me to no end when a new single 'brother' or 'sister' would come to the Kingdom Hall and they would get pounced. mad

As long as it's not from your church. I think it's easier or better if you meet somebody who attends a different church. So if it doesn't work out, there's no awkwardness of worshipping at the same place. Even tho church folks may talk, I think it also reduces the focus a little more when there's a mystery of not knowing the other person.
