Christian Dating Tip: Attend the Saturday Evening Singles Ministry Event

As a Christian Single, it varies by where you live, so keep an open mind about worship style and do poke around at the churches and their Singles Ministries around and near you for what they are offering for social and fellowship interaction Saturday evening.

I say “keep an open mind” because sometimes what the offering is might be a worship service of an alternative worship style.  Alternatively, what the Christian Singles Ministry group might be offering a social mixer of some kind, a Christian Singles Ministry’s Game Night.  The point is, and I was just talking on the phone with a guy friend of mine (he is a DOLL heart, sorry ladies, yes he IS cool, and he’s straight and dresses well, but he is already taken, aka as I put it, “Off Market.”), often the EVENT or series of events where we meet out Soul Mate may ITself in some manner not “appear” cool.  However often we get to know the heart and the quality of the person’s heart.  Not that any of us is perfect, mind you.  And I’m not suggesting you look for a Christian Single Soul Mate who is “Perfect.”  Only one who is perfect For You.

Turns out both my buddy and I had over the years been involved in the on the surface events of helping out at Nursing Home ministries and other such community outreach services.  Mind you, both of us are very stylish, good looking, and “cool” looking people.  We couldn’t care less.  We knew that our service didn’t “look” cool.  And we knew that they mattered.  To the people we served.  Not because we were “good looking, “cool” or “stylish” looking.  It was because of the quality of our hearts to care to reach out to them and actually talk  with them, touch and take their hands and connect with them.  We didn’t do it because we’re both hoping others will do that for us when we are there age, although, of course, we both do have that hope.  We didn’t do it because we were auditioning the quality of our hearts to other singles to display our qualifications as a life partner marriage mate.  Although inadvertently we were.  We did it because we really cared.  And guess what?  Yes, others NOTICED.  Observe the heart of others.  Attraction and looks matter, however, the quality of their heart will matter for years to come.

BTW, I’ll let you in on a secret.  Someone who has a beautiful heart… they will look beautiful, too.  They may not be a 1o.  They surely won’t look like a plastic 10.  However they will be beautiful or handsome.  When they smile, you will be just mesmerized by their radiance.  No worries here.  You won’t be “settling” in anyway.

So, what often happens for Christian Singles is that they meet and interact with each other and court and marry because they meet each other and around each other because of OTHER reasons.  What that means for you as a Christian Single is that you need to, PLACE yourself strategically in front of and amongst other Christian Singles.  And you need to allow the spiritual Hand of God to move.  Or not.  Don’t JUST attend Christian Single Ministry activities to meet your Soul Mate and feel like a failure if IT doesn’t happen immediately or ever THERE.  Attend yes for that purpose and because you’re open to the service or the event you’re attending.  Just don’t be so hyper-focused on the event that you don’t perceive the other people and the event you’re attending.

I have interviewed a number of now-married Christian couples who met at a Christians Singles Ministry.  However, yes, they really did have to attend multiple times and over a period of time.

The event served to make them meet at the beginning as well as to connect them informally over a period of time.

They eventually segued to dating and courting outside of the ministry.

It’s just it might not have been OBVIOUS at the very first instance when they met.

  1. The first time I went to a Christian singles event I forced myself to stay for 2 minutes…and then fled in shyness. The next time I stayed a little longer. And then at the EAster Breakfast, I met another single…who knew? and she and I went together the next time and it was smooth sailing from then on!

  2. It is so difficult to force yourself to go again to a meeting if you were not super comfortable the first time . Takes a lot of will power.

  3. Keeping an open mind and attending the event several times as you say it is very important to find someone perfect for you, maybe not for someone else but to you.

  4. Reminds of Mrs. Potts in Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” when she sings, “I think there’s something there that wasn’t there before.” Meaning it can take time, but something may develop over time and frequency.

    Sometimes attraction happens and sometimes not but you don’t always know until you really meet another person’s heart.

  6. Another brilliant set of tips from the master of Christian Dating. An off-meeting night where people can get together and “relax” and enjoy good company. Mix, mingle, share common interests and have a much better opportunity for meeting like-minded and like-caring personalities. Always great tips. Thanks again April.

  7. Especially true because the first time you attend an event, you may feel a little uncomfortable, and perhaps this is inadvertently conveyed to people you meet. Going more than once will help raise your confidence, and your “attractiveness.”

    Stay Cool!
