PG doesn't know if he can keep a straight face and answer your question about church-based single groups....particularly with an animated spider emerging from your toilet!!!
But...I'll give it a try?!
I think that any social event that comes under the header of "religious social event" could possibly lead to something more serious?
You're beginning on common ground with something each of you believe in...WHICH IS FAITH IN GOD! Depending upon the activities of the group...and how often the group gets together...it's entirely possible "more than a little bit of fondness for one another" COULD develop!
However...it's a major mistake to believe (or expect) that you'll find MR (or MS) RIGHT by attending any church sponsored event. The one thing you need to remind yourself is:
"I'm participating because I WANT TO & SOCIALIZING BRINGS ME PLEASURE! I don't expect GOD to 'deliver me a husband!'"
Hummmm. Never thought of church dating. My son is constantly telling me I need to be more social. I have not been on a date since the early '80s. I was with his dad for 17 yrs. After that things just happened. Never went out looking for anybody. It's kinda scary when you think about it. Internet dating is not my thing. tried it once but bombard by to many people. Will not do the bar scene. Thats where I met his dad. Won't make that mistake again. Met my first husband on vacation. I just don't know if I am really ready to be thrown into meeting guys again. I live in a small town. So not to many places to meet people. I am one of those weird people who love football. I like to cook. But only if I have to. Ha Ha. The whole idea is very intimiding. Any suggestions would be helpful.
I have never looked in to church groups as far as looking for a date. I had a friend that met his new wife at one. He was fairly religious and wanted to find a new wife. One of his main things was finding someone that would be active in the church with him. So, for some it works.
I think Church's functions should be based on activities for the whole church and if one wants to possibly meet someone with the same religious beliefs, they can attend them.
On your comment about never wanting to marry.....I was married for 27 years and now that I am single, it drives me nuts that everyone thinks something is wrong with me because I haven't hooked up with someone else yet. I don't want to ever get married again. People don't believe me either. I would love to find a nice guy to spend time with, but I still cherish my space and can't phanthom giving that up 24/7.
