So, I play bass at my church, that's how I get involved. I feel no guilt or pressure in doing other things, but I really wouldn't mind joining a small group. At my church the small groups just get together to discuss the message we had at church that week, and I think it would be nice to do that in a smaller, more intimate group. The problem is, pretty much all the people at my church over 18 are either married or in serious relationships
I was in a small group briefly, but is it just me, or it does it feel weird, being a single person, in a group of 4 or 5 married couples. It's not that I feel jealous, or any longing to have any of that (frankly I like listening to really loud music and playing video games without someone telling me to clean), I just feel really awkward, like I'm intruding on a date, or something like that. It's weird
Before anyone suggests it, I've thought about the idea of me starting a small group for singles at my church, so I asked the youth pastor, who's also a friend of mine if there were any other singles at church, this was our conversation:
Me: "are there any other single people at our church?"
YP (youth pastor): "Oh yeah, you're not the only one...at least I don't think so...I mean obviously if we were in a bigger city there would be more...but I'm sure you're not the only one."
In other words...nope.
Is it just me though, does this feel weird to anyone else?
