I've been alone for quite a few years. Recently, I really long for companionship. I have no idea where to start. No one in the church I attend. It's as if the men my age have disappeared. I do live in a small town, and don't know many people here, since I moved here a short time ago. I am shy, and hesitant about starting conversations with strangers. What's a girl to do?

hi dee
I'm not sure what to tell you. Have you looked into Christian dating sites online? Or maybe have to just buck up and start making friends. Try getting in good with the leadership, that often helps as they will introduce you to other members. Especially if you tell them you're new to the area and seeking new friends. You never know who knows who. *wink wink haha

Ive often wondered this predicament myself?

Im 23 and happily married, but Ive been praying for a husband for my Mum (50 yrs old) for a long time. Shes formerly been in a very abusive marriage (hence why shes divorced), and since then Ive bought her back to church and shes now a fully involved church member, loves Jesus deeply, has her own christian friends for the first time in her life, enjoying her career.. But all the "singles" groups at church are very young adult. I don't know if my mum is brave enough to go online, but whats a person like me to encourage my mum to get back out there without hurting her feelings or her feeling awkward..?

Maybe begin a ministry for older singles in your church or in your area, dee? Sure sounds like there is a need for this. Maybe having an event in your home (BBQ, potluck or cake/ice cream) and inviting as many older singles as you know would be a good start. They could pass news of the ministry on to others.

I remember my mom talking about how lonely she was after my stepdad passed. She didn't know whether she really wanted to marry again, but spoke often of how great it would be to have a guy to talk with, share dinners with, go places with. I'm sure there are many older singles who feel this way.

May God guide you. Blessings! :)
