Just a thought here… how about appreciating the fact thaqt your church cares about you enough to try and do something to help you. Maybe the problem is you and not so much your church.

THE BEST WAY TO TELL IF A SINGLES EVENT IS NOT AWKWARD IS IF IT IS DIFFERENT THAN NORMAL HANG OUTS!!! How about this… rent a red box… get some pizza and invite people over to watch a movie… thats not akward at all…

I've found you can get out of a lot of awkward situations by saying: "Excuse me, I need to go powder my nose." What's he going to do, follow you to the ladies' room?

This is the most risque V-day celebration I've read about so far!

Amen, sister. I can totally relate to this. I've come to the conclusion that once your friends are in a relationship (either married or committed) they immediately forget what it was like to not have a significant other. I would love for my friends to set me up but so far, that has not happened. How many times can one subtly ask "Does he have a brother or friends?" Lol!

Not sad at all, especially when you treat yourself to a decadent bath (Warm Vanilla Sugar bath & shower gel from Bath & Body Works is uh-mazing) and spend some time reading that book you've always wanted to read

At least your church is doing something about it. My church prefers to ignore dating entirely. Christians don't date, they court. Dating is practicing for divorce later on in life. Funny thing, though – there are quite a few couples who've met, dated, broken up, and moved on to someone else in the church. Guess hiding one's head in the sand does not work.

Ah, your description of scripted church speed dating events brings back memories… I went to visit a friend in Orlando once and her church had a 'social' aka YA meat market affair with door prizes, complete with typed questions. The good thing was there weren't too many awkward lulls since no one had to come up with anything original to ask/say.

That sounds hilarious!! I hope someone took lots of pictures to capture those moments for posterity.
