Aw. :( I think there's something in there about mourning with those who mourn, too; something like that.

Yes, but that tends to not happen....especially when the condition isn't changing.

You could join a social club to meet nice men. A walking/biking/bird-watching/gourmet cooking/ or whatever club, it doesn't matter. The point is to get out and meet men. If the activity has too many women in it, dump it subito presto. Don't worry about enjoying the activity beforehand: you'll enjoy it once you meet Mr. Right.

Also: buy yourself some new clothes and shoes to wear.

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.

NOt to be cynical but do you think I haven't tried that? I have been to at least 5 church singles groups, joined two online Christian dating sites, tried two singles bible studies (both of which had a grand total of 15 women and 2 men, one of which was the leader, at least 20 years older), and at least 7 different churches....

I don't believe there are so few Christian men out there, although sure, there will be fewer single Christian men. So, they must not be going to these things that you have attended. I would try and find some other activity or club or group that might be a draw for Christian men. I have no idea about your area, so I wouldn't know specifically what.

Oh! OK...

Another alternative is to join a secular social club and meet a nice man. After that, you'll just have to lead him to Christ. I realize that this more easily said than done. (I've met a couple who «formed» under these circumstances.) There must be a lot of birders in Maryland...
