For some reason I'm reminded of a Looney Toons cartoon where Miss Prissy, a chicken, was going out to find a husband (Foghorn Leghorn.) The other girl chickens said, "Did you bring something to clunk him over the head with?" and laughed. Miss Prissy said, "Yeeeees!" and pulled a rolling pin out of her purse."

When she did find Foghorn and bopped him on the head, he said "You're doing it all wrong! You don't bat 'em on the bean with a rolling pin. That comes later."

It stands to reason that, if you're involved in the types of activities that you enjoy, you'll meet people who enjoy the same types of activities. If you're involved in a church, perhaps you could help organize activities such as a car wash, group hikes, bake sales, etc. These activities help bring people together and can also help your group raise funds for necessities.

I know I keep saying this but....

Go dancing! - folk dancing, ballroom dancing, swing dancing. The ladies love to dance.:)

At last night’s dance we all had a good laugh. We had run out of men and there were still lots of ladies who wanted to dance, then some poor unsuspecting fellow just happened to walk into the room, he was immediately swarmed by ladies. The scene was priceless, as he flattened himself against the door with an expression of pure bewilderment.:)

i second this. i used to take a lot of fun dance classes and found myself dancing with all different kinds of interesting guys.

i kind of learn everything i need to know about a guy for me at a dance class. : D

can he have fun learning? fun making mistakes? can he laugh at himself? is he afraid of looking foolish? can he lead without looking like he's going to pee his pants? oh, and can he dip me? ; p

well. that's pretty much a whole compatibility test for me, right there. ; )

and as far as just going anywhere, i agree with that comment as well. the last guy i dated for a bit was someone i met at the gym while working out and singing along to the song that was being played. i've gone on dates with starbucks guy and sushi bar guy. it's fun to just meet someone in the random life of being. : )

Hey everyone,
This is my first forum post, so I figured I'd give it a try. I'm a single, mid-20's guy and I'm wanting to get myself out there a little more in terms of dating. I've only had 2 relationships in my life and it's been a few years since the last one. The church I attend (and work in) is an older congregation with no other people my age. So, here's my question: does anyone have any tips, advice, or ideas on how to meet other Christian singles?
Thanks

OP - I would suggest a book called How to Get a Date Worth Keeping by Henry Cloud. He is a well known Christian psychologist. BAsically, he says GET OUT and do things with other people - go to museums, volunteer, group exercise places (the gym), take a class, go to an art gallery opening. Change your patterns - go different places, do different things. Cloud talks about this process in a Christian perspective, and please know there is nothing NON Christian about getting out and meeting people. :cool:

Ok cool. That sounds like a great book. I actually know of Dr. Cloud, I read him in a lot of my undergrad classes. I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the tip!

Here's the issue, though: I want to do a lot of those things like museums, taking a class, or whatever, but I'm on a very tight budget (youth ministers don't make much. lol)

Any ideas on stuff to do on a tight budget?

You mention that you are a youth minister, so ministry is no stranger to you. One of the activities listed that costs NOTHING other than time is volunteering. Perhaps your community has a some sort of ministry to the homeless, etc that needs volunteers.

Or the local animal shelter - you'll get to meet a lot of neat dogs and cats AND people who like dogs and cats. Animal lovers are the most beautiful people.

Yeah, I actually have started to volunteer at the YMCA which is walking distance from my house. I might be getting a YMCA membership free, too, which would be awesome.
