Looking for some thoughts on where a 51 year old Christian guy might find a Christian women. I have been told that I will meet her when I am not looking to meet anyone. That sounds kinda difficult when I am looking! LOL. Figured this forum may be a good place to ask since this is a Christian Forum. Any input guys?

Sounds like a good place to start. She might be sitting in the pew in front of you and you don't know it yet.
You can do what a lot of guys I know did... pray and ask God to find you a woman.

I would say church is a great and most likely the best place to look. Look for one with good singles group, and one that has a number of people your age in it. This of course will take sometime to find, and asking questions for find out just what churches have to offer in this line. It could well be that you will have to go outside you church to find what you are really looking for. I wish you the best

If you are divorced forget it. You shouldn't remarry. If you are widowed or never married, then there might be possibilities, but if you are 51 and never married I would say why bother?

I like what other men have said here. Best places to look in my opinion is church...and singles groups never hurt. However, you might also want to go to community Christian functions like Christian concerts etc. You might also want to consider community events like fairs, festivals, etc. Also don't rule out museums reflecting the interests you're looking for in a mate. If you're looking for someone well read, history museums etc. Classy and artistic, art museums. Don't know your convictions in these areas but wine tastings are a nice place to meet women. Rule out bars and that sort of thing unless it's a really classy place. Make yourself "present" and available. You'll never meet her holed up in your prayer closet. Pray and go to primarily enjoy yourself...but it's okay to be looking too. Read humorous things, be current.
Also consider that you might meet her and she not be a practicing Christian. Look for Christian roots...but she might not practice. God may wish to use you to win a soul while finding your mate. You'll lead a soul to love and salvation...what more could a woman ask for? But this brings much responsibility because at this point you represent Christianity to her and you will become the spiritual head of the house. So treat her right and behave with grace.
Lastly, be charming, dress well, groom well. I know some may disagree...but get couple books on flirting and playing the "game". lol Just be Christian about it. Have fun with this! Life's your adventure! Also the most important thing... don't forget to smile!
I'll say a quick prayer for you after I post this.

I am 56 and a widower and yes I would love to find someone to share my the remaining years of my life with. I lost my wife 4 years ago and the loneliness drives me crazy some times. So I too would love to find a companion for the rest of my life.

I am not sure church is the best place all the time...
In situations where the wife was known in the church, the man can become ... untouchable.
Be it because other women do not feel they can measure up to the previous wife, or the previous wife has disparaged (true or false) the man in case of divorce, this is what I have seen with some men.
The jury is still out for my case, but I am not optimistic about this in general.
