I am a single mother of a 5 month old precious little boy. My son was conceived out of rape, adding a lot of problems to my personal situation and opinion of men (sorry guys - one bad spot can ruin it for the whole lot sometimes). I am at the point now where I am starting to want to try to find a good male role model for him for the future, someone to show him how to become a good, christian, God-loving Man.To treat women correctly, to have biblical morals, etc.
I am starting to wonder about dating again but have SERIOUS reservations because of my past and am not sure how to find a christian man to befriend...all the christian men at my church are 60+ right now and not sure that would be good if I want the male role model to stick around......
I wish so much that there were more younger guys these days that are God-loving men.
So Men, How would you suggest finding a male role model to be a friend to me and a model for my son, and under what criteria?
Women, How can I not be too judgemental but neither to soft on the imperfections i know every man will have? And how to overcome the opinion I have formed of men in general because of my past?
(really Both genders are free to answer both questions)
