I feel so lost. I never dated much in school and now am divorced and the thought of dating scares me to death sometimes. The world has changed so much in 15 years. Besides at church, what is a girl to do? Where do you meet good Christian men where you live? Make friends? Hang out? Where I live there doesn't seem to be many options.

Hey Aldrmctchr,
I know one thing that's real easy to do, just sit down somewhere and think all the sorry, lonely, depressing thoughts you can think. Then for good measure get a good even if I did take a liking to someone and enjoyed spending time with them, there's just too much pain involved with trying to get to know someone new- even if things turned out to be great. How could I avoid those feelings of hurt again?
A side thought, then I'll wrap this up. Media. That's TV, printed news, radio spots. What does much of it 'feed' us? You can't trust strangers. They'll take immediate offense at you, try to put you in 'your place', or simply turn out to be criminally-minded, as to how to get the best of you. How many reports of wonderful things do you hear about? How many more about crimes, violence, scary fictional TV shows that have enough realism to them that just don't make them seem right.
I'm unemployed and single, and so no matter what I HAVE to get out in the world and meet people. And I know that the majority of the world has absolutely no clue who I am. It's more than keeping my chin up in this, but I've become really convinced that I am fully dependent on God's grace, love, and His uplifting me out of that first of this post. Then too, that people I meet are going to either think I was a whipped little pup that looked like I didn't have a friend in the world, or they could think they really appreciated seeing a smile in their day, and the patience I displayed while waiting for things, or filling out paperwork, or such. It may very well be that a grandpa or grandma we know at church may well have a granddaughter or grandson that little is known about- and they are playing their own little matchmaker game no one knows about yet but them. Farfecthed? Maybe, but who's to say they don't have friends who have grandkids who are single... . I'd better get to work on this. [image][/image]
I'm keeping you in prayer about this. Please do the same for me. I have met someone interesting, I have no idea how much younger she is, though I'm pretty sure she is younger. The most wonderful part of things is I don't have an overwhelming feeling that I Must be around her more and more.
In His awesome love,
OneJohn410
