sometimes really prestigious church members do something totally horrendous so where u stand in the church doesnt necessarily have to matter
 
We just have to have discernment... pray for Godly discernment. And it's not about being a good or bad Christian... it's about serving Him AT ALL. If you serve Him... there's no degree to whether you're good or bad at it... you are either a Christian or you're not. There's no gray area. When I said ''really good christians'' I meant it more like ''Actually serving God''
 
I meet interesting people on the bus, and at school. My mom works at a christian university, and the students there are great.
 
I work in a big place and there are always new people to meet. Plus my friends are always introducing me to their friends. We've been church shopping and I have met a lot of nice people at every church. My neighbors are always introducing me to cool peeps too. There are a few nice people who volunteer where I do. That's about it :)
 
1 Corinthians - Yeah, the volunteer thing! That's something I've been meaning to get into lately. I mean, it's probably a good place to meet single Christian girls, right? Oh, ... and it's great to help people. Yeah, that too.
 
I'm not saying these observations fit all situations, but this is what I've observed.

Beware of super spiritual church people. I'm talking people that are just way way over the top. These people tend to be emotionally disturbed and over compensating for some other area in their life they are lacking. They may fail miserably in one area of their life morally, so they over compensate by being over, over, over the top spiritually. If someone seems too good to be true, chances are, they are too good to be true.

Beware of people that are overly obsessed with end times, visions, prophecy and the 'super natural'. If the main thing to them isn't the main thing, then once again, they're outta balance.

I know we all want to meet that ideal, 'strong Christian', but if you're not careful you could get stuck with a nut-job. At first glance these 'super spiritual' people look like that ideal person you want. But once you date them, you soon realize you'd rather talk about more than their latest theory on end times or their continual 'revelations' they received in prayer.

Just my two cents of course.
 
C'mon people, I'm trying to fill up all the headings in new posts. If you all keep posting, how'm I ever gonna get that done! Sheesh!

lol okay... so i was the one who brought this up and your suggestions are all good... howeverrrrr... i have to say FAiL! i knew all that stuff! school, work, church... yeah. but i dont do any of those! lol well i try to go to church but i'd never go there to meet christian guys? church is for God in my eyes, and i'm not really looking to date. I go to learn and then I leave... i guess i could socialize more but then i'm worried that i'd start going to church for the wrong reasons *sigh* IDK! lol and i'm not in school... and i'm a nanny (as previously stated)... i'm tired of socializing with kids :P haha

however! whoever said volunteering i think that's a really good idea! but i guess now my question is how do i get into that? like... where do i go to figure out where i can volunteer? i'd love to do that! :)
 
I'm waiting for a callback from a children's shelter I'm hoping to volunteer at.
 
if i wasnt meeting people online... my life will be boring for a while ;)
 
Actually you should look for a small group through your church. I dont know if your church has them but anyways you should just meet people no matter their age. It good to form relationships with other members of the church because they can be very supportive.

I never claimed to want a ''super-spiritual'' guy, either. Just someone who knows what He believes and is strong in his faith ;]

Absotivly no-where

*sigh* most of the girls at my University are either

1) moody and angry
2) smoke and cuss
3) Aren't Christian
4) aren't interesting

everyone at my church is um....young? yea, that's it. There's like one girl who's my age that's available

*whistles*

straight up, aye? =P
Trains. Good place to meet people.
Also, with a smile. It opens up a space for conversation.
 
;)I always meet people at church and get to know people better in my small group. Also, I've met cool people at work (there are a lot to choose from being in a hospital lol).

Yeh, same here. I attempt to find a locate group (within 30 minutes) that I can associate with. If I can simply find people my age alone, I've obtained enough reason to stay there. I've been very involved with many young adult friends for quite some time. I'll be stepping away from the group a bit as I go back to school. It's worth being around christian young adults. You'll have no gaurantee of dating someone but at least you'll have friends your age = networking = possibility. ;)
 
i dont know about your town but my city has several christian coffeshop like places...thats always a good place to meet people...

What about those of us who don't like coffee? *lol* j/k
