I'm a small town girl in a very rural part of Canada's smallest province. It seems that all the single men, Christian or not, have decided to pull a Moses and haul robe out of here. I'm sure I'm not alone in this stiuation. Small towns seem to be getting smaller every day. So what my question is is this, What do you do when there just aren't any men to choose from?
Hey Karen... apparently it's one big mystery. I live in the city... but I'm just as baffled as you are. There aren't any more good Christian men here then there are in rural Canada. I can assure you.
I feel your pain, Karen.
I am from a small town and a small church. Although my town and my church are actually growing in leaps and bounds it seems there are no new single guys around. There are many young couples with babies and a small group of college students at my church - but I am stuck in the middle of them. Last summer, I tried to go to a larger church that had a good-sized singles Sunday School group, so I could maybe meet some new people. However, I found it very hard to go to a different church than the rest of my family (although they were supportive of me) and so now I am back at my home church, no better than before.
Oh yeah, I am also a nurse - so 98% of my coworkers (even the young resident MD's) are female - so there is little hope on the work front either.
I don't know what the answer is.... should I just sit tight and wait for God to send someone my way? Or maybe I need to do something more.... e-harmony is looking more and more attractive every day.....
Yeah...my church is very small, with few people my age, male OR female, and none of them single. There are few clubs to join here in town and no "hang-out" spots. I tried E-harmony, actually, or something very like it...
it feels like cheating. But it didn't work for me, either. It's hard to find Jesus-loving, grateful men on places like that.
I'm not sure what to do. I do pray about it a lot, but I keep hearing about how it's not right to just passively wait fro God to bring "him" into my life...I'm just not sure what else I can do.
I know how hard it is to find any single Christian men, they just seem to have disappeared. I trie eharmony for a year and never met anyone. I'm trying to put myself out in the Christian community more, like tonight I'm going to a benefit concert for a little boy with cancer. Maybe I'll meet some new people there...
Hi!, I understand how you feel. I live in a city, but I have not met any single Christian men. I keep praying for my future....career, husband, etc. Best wishes for you!
