So, I want to get a boyfriend in Gods timing and wait for the person/s that he has for me, but in the mean time i'd like to meet more single people.
I'm 24, and that is by no means old, but often in church circles more than half the population are married off with kids. I'm too old to be going to a youth group with the young school leavers, but when i do older socials it seems that most everyone is married, or already in good groups of friends.
I'm trying to meet some new people in my church - but i don't want to ask people "are you single" when i first meet them, but then you never want to assume either!
I don't want to go on dating sites or dodgy chat rooms (not cc) to meet people, I would like to meet more singles naturally - but can this actally happen????
please tell me your thoughts :)

I was reading this in another post too, and I was quite surprised, because the average age is definitely higher here. I would say most newlyweds are in their thirties.

Move to Italy and you'll feel younger :) I'm kidding.

It seems to me that you are already searching for other singles 'naturally', but they are all taken/uninterested etc. I see no harm in trying a dating website, some of them even claim to be 'Christian'. It's going to be a lottery though. Everyone would like to win, but nobody can be sure.

I see your struggle my good friend is 24 and her church circle is all married people and a couple other, but she wouldnt date the couple others. And then our college age youth group are all my age, which is a little young for her, (even though her best friend who is the same age is dating someone my age...long story about THAT). But I know shes just praying about it, but its not easy, and but there are singles out there and God has a plan and there could be someone in your life now that you dont even realize....

But as for a relationship - i don't know that i could marry into an itallian family :p

hmm, I have never seen any young Aussies. I just know a lady from NZ who got married here when she was young but never went back to her country. I see many more American young people, but they don't usually speak a word of Italian and they leave after a few weeks/months.

I know exactly what you're going through. I am in the same spot exactly. I just moved from California to Kentucky and haven't found much luck connecting with Christian singles in the area. I, much like yourself, fit somewhere in between the after college but not yet married group...which unfortunately is very tricky! I want to wait on God's timing and know that He has it all planned out for me but it gets tough when I've been in relationships with Christian girls who weren't anything like the image they portrayed. Just be yourself and let God's love shine through you. Be honest in everything and take down any walls that may exist from past relationships. The new guy deserves your trust and benefit of the doubt...after all, you don't want to miss out on true love by making the wall too high for him to climb. I hope you find the man of your dreams and that he is a true man of God!

In His Hands,
Andy

Hi.Everyone-I also fond this to be a problem. I am 44 and my church is small(less than 50).really hard to meet someone when they are all much younger than me,(in their 20s,mostly) i am just gonna wait for God to provide if it is His will. I also had standards tht were too hard for women my age to measure up to,since I've had relationships with a few in the 30 yr range. so I would say Just wait and maybe not have such a high standard for him
like your perfect one will be a model or somethin-dont look outside,but inside.
