All Star Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Has anyone had an expierence with this? I'm thinking of joining a large church in my area in hopes that there will be single men there. And i'm going for God, too.
Author All Star Posted October 6, 2008 Author Posted October 6, 2008 It's better than a prison. You think? A lot of them there may be from prison. Isn't that they first thing they do, find God?
quankanne Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 according to one radio program, the best places to meet men are the do-it-your-self stores (Lowe's, RadioShack) and comedy classes.

You might as well take in the local Buddhist temple, or a handy little synagogue whilst you're at it. Cover all the bases..... I'd stick to voluntary organisations and clubs, sports centres... But Church - ? Last place I'd look, personally! Don't you think those good, God-fearing gentlemen would either already be involved with a life partner, or may look upon you as a temptation sent by satan? Think again, huh?

Don't you think those good, God-fearing gentlemen would either already be involved with a life partner, or may look upon you as a temptation sent by satan? Laugh out loud! A lot of churches have singles events. All of the men are not all taken. They don't have to know why I'm there. I'm not going to say, "Excuse, are there any single men that I can share a bible with?"
Geishawhelk Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Oh I dunno.... Say what you mean, and mean what you say! Subterfuge and deceit is not a good start if you're turning to God. I'd be up-fornt and tell all. You never know, some men like candid women......!

No, I'm in home depot a lot and the guys are arrogant and act like I don't know anythign. I know more than most of them about home improvement. Once about 5 of them passed me trying to tell me how to saw. One of them told me I needed to measure first like I was that dumb and did not even know how much wood I needed. Ididn't ask them anything, they jsut came up to me left and right. ,

Really, I'm what you would call a free thinker." You know, once I pretended I was a seventh day adventist to get to know this guy, but then I got angry and cursed him out and he knew something wasn't right.
Shygirl15 Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 No, Church is not a good idea. Suprisingly though, whenever I'm there can't help but do a quick scan across the hall for any hotties, just incase.

Meaplus3 Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I don't think it's a very good idea. I mean how do you expect to strike up a conversation with someone during a church service? Normally people stay for the service and then leave. I don't see a whole lot of people staying around to socialize. Perhaps that's just my chruch but still..I just don't think church would be your best bet for getting a date. What about a coffee shop? The Library? AP:)
Moose Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 WHY is this not a good idea? I have it planned for next Sunday.Seriously? Do you honestly think that your values, and motives are something single men who attend Church are looking for? Personally, I think it's totally disrespectful to use God's time of worship and fellowship for your gain.....especially if you don't believe in Him.....
Geishawhelk Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 How about "Hi, I'm not really interest in the sermon. I'm just looking for a man. Really, I'm what you would call a free thinker." You know, once I pretended I was a seventh day adventist to get to know this guy, but then I got angry and cursed him out and he knew something wasn't right. Are you serious, for goodness' sake? Just where have you stored your Ethics, Morals and values? Does this really not strike you as being just completely and totally wrong? If all you're doing is going to church with the pretense of worshipping, but really, what you're doing is looking to find a hot guy to date and get laid - really, words fail me. I'm sorry, I find your intentions deplorable. It's just not a right thing to do.
mortensorchid Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 That's a very old fashioned way to meet people. Still, there is a reason that classics never die. You will be meeting like minded people if nothing else. Hope it works for you. I admit I don't have any positive experiences attending church in the past, and I don't see it as a good social network for younger people rather than older ones, but you'll find exceptions.

And i'm going for God, too. I think it's a good place. Well, my bf and I met at a club...but we went to church together on our 3rd date. So can't say if church is a good place, cuz guys like him (party animal, drinker) would go to church too. but at least you know that their are some morals in their heads. Just make sure that he's not like CRAZYily religious cuz those guys tends to be a little TOO NICE. but yet again, there's nothing wrong with being too nice...but my bf calls them doormats. hahaha.

And i'm going for God, too. Why? To beg forgiveness for lusting in his holy sanctuary? Or for him to offer up some of his devout followers because well you did give him money during collection after all!?

I did in fact turn them all down. but the fact is most men and women use the chruch to find someone. pray about it see what God says. don't become what we call a chruch sl.. not cool. remember there is someone for everyone. If you use the chruch to try to find a christian man they maybe able to see through you. so use wisdom. blessings

Lucky_One Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 pray about it see what God says. I find that fascinating. Would someone actually believe that God would answer, "Sure! Finally get your butt out of bed on Sunday morning and finally get to a church, just so you can get laid. Who cares about the real purpose of church?! It's all about the sex, baby!!!"

Personally, I think it's totally disrespectful to use God's time of worship and fellowship for your gain.....especially if you don't believe in Him..... C'mon. I never said I don't believe in God. I do. I have a personal relationship with God and I don't usually subscribe to organized religious meetings. What do you know about my values? You may even attend church every day of your life and I can absolutely guarantee you that I walk a straighter path everyday of my life then you do or did on the best day of your life.

You seem to need God really bad in your life. I'm picking up something from you that is in need of God's love. I feel the anger and pain in most of your posts. You'll need to fix that before you'll ever be ready for a love interest. They will and I'm sure have picked up on it too.

I'll mention that to my BF; I am sure he will find it interesting. Have you tried finding a guy on a subway platform?
