371.0. "Dating in the '90's" by CSC32::J_CHRISTIE (Peace: the Final Frontier) Tue Dec 24 1991 20:43

I overheard a conversation today on how difficult it is for singles to
meet these days.  And so, I got to wondering.......


Where do Christians couples meet these days?
============================================
Bars?  Christian singles organizations?  Parents Without Partners?  Dates
set up by friends (blind dates)?  The "Personal" ads in the classifieds?
Notesfiles? ;-}  Church functions?  At work?  At school?  The laundromat? 
The supermarket?  The mall?


What do Christians do on dates these days?
==========================================
Goofy golf?  Bowling?  Roller skating?  Formal occasions (ballroom dancing)?
Movies?  Go out for dinner?  Have dinner in?  Go to the "Y" for a swim in
the pool or perhaps play a round of racketball?

Peace,
Richard

Well I met a lot of my Christian friends and I actually met my fiance at the 
Singles group in my parish. WE had (actaully still have but I don't do much 
with it) quite and active group of Catholics that got together to go out 
dancing, eating, play volleyball, etc. I found this a real good way to make 
friends. I also met Sue there and we are now engaged.

371.2Good Topic.!!WMOIS::GABIS_BBarbTue Mar 10 1992 14:3824
    Good question, I asked the same in the Christian notes file, asking
    Singles what they feel, and I did get a lot of responses, but still I
    am searching, it is hard to meet the right person, and going to bars
    only bring trouble, I pretty much stay home cause of all the people out
    there that are not Christians. 
    
    I would like to meet the right person, but in a nice place, I tried to
    ask people if they wanted to start a Christian Notes File, but I have
    no Idea on how to be a moderator, and I am thinking of the Retirement
    package, but it would be nice to see one started, before I decide to
    go.  
    
    I believe that there is someone for all of us, but we need to show
    others, that we care, and I really am tired of the bar scene, it leaves
    so much to be desired, I feel bad when I go into one unless it is a
    lounge, and I am not alone, but for the most I am alone, so I stay
    home, and Yes where do we go to meet other singles that is safe??
    
    Good topic, hope to see more interested parties, cause Christian people
    are good people.
    
    God bless everyone
    Barbara.
    there must be Christian Singles out there

Barb,

It seems that it might be a unique and difficult situation to be both single
and Christian.

I recall the period that I lived as a single as being sort of "out of
sync" with the rest of the world.  I remember going to singles gatherings,
not bars, and nobody was really happy about the one commonalty that
brought them all together - their singlehood.

Something which I personally found eye-opening was the age range.  Singles
in their 40's, 50's and 60's were as abundant as singles in their 20's and
30's, sometimes more so.

Perhaps someone could advise you offline as to the steps to take to set
up a notesfile.

Peace,
Richard
