Hello everyone,

I'm a Christian male in my late 20s, and am wanting to date Christian woman. However, I am finding Christian women in their mid to late 20s are already taken. This is what I have seen, is it so, that generally speaking, Christian women are taken by the mid 20s?

Mostly everyone says the place to meet Christian women is at church. Does anyone have any other suggestions on places to meet Christian women?

Thanks.

Yes church. But go to others as well as your own.

Christian dating / introduction /friendship websites and services. I met my wife to be through one, and didn't care about any stigma of using them.

Christian friendship organisations - they should exists, they do here in UK. Met my 2nd girlfriend through one.

Christian holidays, with a reputation for singles. Met my 3rd girlfriend through connections made on one of these.

In the end I waited 7 years after GF3 for my wife, but met loads of different women through the above mentioned.means.

You'll be fine. God is faithful.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it in the past, but nothing came out of it.

Forget "dating." Pray about your future. Go about your life doing things that interest you. Learn about yourself and pursue God. He'll take care of the rest. I'm not suggesting anything I haven't lived.

Great advice. In essence, let go, let God. I'll try that out. One question though, we trust God to bless us with a partner, but shouldn't we put our faith in action to meet someone as well? Just a thought.

It's a joke that when men go to Bible School, they get their Bachelor's Degree, and women get their "Mrs" degree. It just seems that a lot of Christian women get engaged by the time they graduate. Of course, Bible College may not be an option for you.

Do you have Christian friends that can help you meet women?

Women in their mid to late 20s regardless of religious persuasion tend to be "taken".

I met my wife at a Christian singles retreat. What is nice about those retreats is that everyone there is ready, willing and able. I went to Mt. Hermon (CA). I was single and I knew three other couples who met each other at Mt. Hermon. So I thought "why not?"

I can just talk about the path I walked. I did go to events for singles. But I took the pressure off myself. I re-framed things. I did the things I enjoyed doing and made friends. I'm female, so it might be a little different for me. But I decided that dating was an energy drain. Too much drama. My faith was very much in action, but I decided to wait until God moved. And when I met my future husband, it was very, very, obvious. I KNEW. So did he. With that knowledge, we could move forward getting to know each other.

Like I said, this was the way I was led. It may not be for everyone. But what I do think is for everyone is the advice to spend time on yourself and pursuing God. That will stand you in good stead for your entire life, and will attract to you a healthy person who also loves God.
