How do I meet a nice Christian woman?

Question

I'm not in a hurry, nor in desperate need, but I've tried using christian matching sites on the internet and so on, and I can't seem to find the right girl. Attractive non-christian women show interest in me, but I never persue them because I know these relationships will not last since we don't believe the same thing.

I'm a historian, 20's, intellegent, good shape, the bible is my passion, and I'm looking for a woman who won't pull me away from the Lord, but bring me closer.

Any suggestions??? don't say internet dating.
Any christian couples out there with some good advice on how to meet other christians?

For those who said "the bar" I don't drink.
The rest of you made some good points, and gave me something to think about. Thanks for your advice, keep it coming.

Answer 1

I met my husband in church...he sat down next to me and said 'Hi'. Nothing grand, simply friendliness. We then had a few short conversations in passing, and in time he asked me out to coffee. Excellant pacing, safe situation, with much prayer and guidance involved.

Does your church have a singles ministry or a service group where you can meet people? And let me stress the word 'PEOPLE' because what you really want is to build friendships and relationships...not go looking for a girlfriend. You'll be amazed how much faster the process is when you're making friends with women (removing the romantic notions helps) and building friendships with other men (to enlarge your social network-thus meeting even more women...and also to exercise your relational skills).

Biggest piece of advice, though, is to pray!

Answer 2

While it has been suggested that you try meeting someone in church, it is the social activities churches organize that you should think about participating in. The choir, picnics, potlucks and fundraisers will allow you to mingle. Let it be known that you are single and available - be patient.

You are wise to let your beliefs be known up front so the relationship has a chance to grow. A relationship can grow by being there as a friend to someone who is in need of a friend.

You are young; I did not meet my wife until I was 40. It may seem lonely now, but the right girl is out there and you have yet to find each other.

Answer 3

The Answer is: PRAY....PRAY....AND PRAY SOME MORE

G-d will bring you the right person at the right time
Trust me

I sat home many nights alone, I refused to join the world of Bars and Parties just in order to met someone.

Finally when I gave up trying and let G-d do the work is when I met my wonderful husband.
Trust the Lord
He already has someone special for you
Be patient and pray without ceasing!
Don't give up

You may not have met someone because G-d has plans for you right now and the time is just not right.

Answer 4

First PRAY, then:
Go to a nice Christian church. Prayer meeting, social outing.
Go to a nice Christian Conference Grounds.
Go to a nice Christian Camp.
Go to a nice Christian Charity and volunteer your time.
Go to a nice Christian church and volunteer to help in Sunday School or children's club.
Go to a nice Christian Church that has a College & Career group.
Go on a nice Christian Mission Trip (short term)
Go to a nice Christian Theological Institute.
Go to a nice Christian Bible College. The slang for them is "Bridal College".
The girls there will be more than happy to see you.

Answer 5

Larger Churches, whether you are a member or not, often host Christian singles events... or singles gatherings where you can feel comfortable not coming as a couple. In other words, low pressure. Start making a few phone calls, they are out there.

Answer 6

College Christian groups like the Newman Club got us together. THere are also church groups, like 'Young Adults' clubs. Try various local churches. Then spread out in a standard search pattern until the Lord shows you THE ONE. But use wisdon, too!

Answer 7

What about different church groups or activities? Getting involved and getting yourself out there - you're bound to meet a nice Christian woman locally. Just keep yourself in circulation and you'll eventually meet the right person.

Good luck!

Answer 8

Good question. And I have no idea. I've been pondering the same thing about the opposite sex with absolutely no luck. I'm just waiting for the Lord to bring him to me.

Answer 9

I surely have the comparable issue, in a manner. i've got been single for 3 years now after a life-time of being married yet i'm surrounded via Baptists and Church of Christ human beings who hear faithfully to Glen Beck and Fox information, think of the Tea occasion has our pursuits at heart, and wholeheartedly hate Obama. this is way too plenty politics for me, and way too plenty Fundamentalism. i've got had lunch dates with adult men who can think of of no longer something, and now i'm scared to dying to settle for to any extent further invites. Why can not we communicate approximately something exciting, like astronomy or drugs, or what foreign places countries are somewhat like? they are in a position to have their Hell and devil, apocalypses and uber-conservatism and are available across a woman who says "amen!" whilst she hears it. I artwork and flow to college classes, too, and if I surely have a Saturday to flow out, i prefer exciting, great conversations, happiness and minor adventures! existence ought to be wonderful and humorous, no longer sober and depressing. Ah, now i think so plenty extra useful.
