Amen! I also kissed dating goodbye while it was on a cruise in the Bahamas. Ugh. I am 22 and have never been asked out at all, much less by someone who is potentially marriable. No, I’m not bitter at all. Why do you ask?

Good point. Feminism is another worldly influence that the church has embraced. Even if you go to a church that doesn’t allow women to preach, teach, or serve on the diaconate, they still run the church.
I’ll probably be attacked for this, too, but one of Rush Limbaugh’s Undeniable Truths of Life is that feminism was created to give unattractive women access to mainstream American culture. And to look at feminists, both Christian and non-Christian, this is true.

This would have been when McKinley was at Prestonwood in Plano TX and my single friends tell me (true to Robyn's prediction) that the in ensuing years all of the hot people shifted to Fellowship, and then most recently to Watermark….

our pastor had a sermon illustration about commitment-phobes, and how he'd observe how these guys would date someone for years, finally break off the dead end relationship, then a few months later, wind up married. So, how could this happen to the c-phobes?

Instead of looking at marriage as a list of pros and cons or an institution, they found the person they KNEW they wanted to spend their lives with, and all that deliberation went out the window. That sermon gave me a lot of hope as an older single female commit-phobe.
Should I be less picky and particular? Should I settle who I'm unsure about? Should I get over all my relationship hang-ups? Or would there come a day when like these young guys, I'd just KNOW. The pastor made the comparison of deciding to join the Christian religion vs. coming to know and love Christ as a personal relationship.

And what do you know, a couple years after that sermon, he married my husband and I and repeated this life-altering sermon illustration.

All this to say, I'd hate for singles to feel guilted into getting married if they are not sure about their prospective mate, just for marriage sake. I don't envy the bride of some guy who had to be dragged down the aisle, instead of someone who truly wants and is committed to be there!

I thought that this would be an interesting antidotal and analysis of Christian dating but alas its merely a advertessment for your Church. Your raise the point without addressing the issue. It wasn't humorous not insightful. Just plain poor. The promient reason for the epidemic of "men" speed dating from church to church is the other relational epidemic, picky christian women. Often put up walls from you merely wanting to get to know them yet opening up to the men who are perceived to be the all perfect christian man. One doesn't have to do much of anything wrong to fall victim to the high impossible standards of some Christian women. Its not all women there exception. However, in my travels across the country and being apart of various churchs it is certain a majority.

Wow, brooke, I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who feels that way. And I kissed dating goodbye for the same reason.

Apparently, the trick is to move to an area with only a few people in your age group, and you’ll get asked out right away.
