We have it tough on us as single Christian guys. Especially if we're planning to end our days of late night mamaks, burping and belching around in our home without much ado and just generally bumming around to a more subtle life of fatherhood. Just for your take, Christian girls are probably hotter than those Sara Lee cheesecakes in the singlehood market, and well, those are really hot stuff, heh.
Out of curiousity, I did a survey and found most Christian girls had at least a couple of interested guys, majority being non Christians. Heh, guess a rose does attract bees of all shapes and sizes eh? Though, there were guys telling those gals that they're attracted to their innocence and goodness. Makes me wonder why the emphasis on innocence though, hmm. One of them wrote an interesting account about it here too.
What do we do about it? It's a well known fact that the Christian dating circle has been permeated by Joshua Harris' ideas on kissing dating goodbye. What? No more dating? Yea, courtship seems to be the buzz word these days. You still date? Man, you're outdated...
But the process of courtship is often misunderstood and often leaves the Christian single, well, single. Imagine how funny it is to go around with the idea of, 'I can't date them, I need to court' and so while we're busy asking God on how to court them Christian girls, most other guys have already moved in. And then we commit a faux pas by suddenly announcing to them,
'I feel God's telling me to marry you, can I court you?'
And a shock reply from the lady would be, 'What? I hardly know you'
'Yea..but it's God's will you know, the big man up there, the DUDE' and we proceed to make some boom box noises while trying to look cool with some head movements, just like those hip hoppers.
'Erm, yea, but I still hardly know you'
'Ah, it'll work out fine when we get married, honey', and we try to reassure her with our best million dollar smile, while making sure the slice of seaweed we ate earlier doesn't stick on the gaps of our teeth. Pathetic no?
Heh, now imagine one of them girls doing it to us. *Gasp* I might get a heart attack.
And for those of us who've subscribe to the courting theory, we'll most probably go, 'Is she the one?' on every girl that we end up being able to chat to for 5 minutes and beyond, scaring most of them away with our concealed show of desperation. Then of course, most of us can't hold a girl's attention for that long, due to the fact we hardly have any exposure to girls and we fidget around while with those beautiful species of another kind.
All these while the typical non Christian guy charms the girls off their feet with their suaveness and experience with girls, as compared to our stuttering, 'Erm, what's your favorite quiet time passage?' or 'What's your take on Escathology?' when confronted with the fact that we're alone in a cafe with some gorgeous Christian girl. Hmm, no wonder we lose out to them.
Ah, this brings us to a conclusion of this lovely discourse. What do we do about ourselves? Heh, perhaps this article would be of some good to those of us who tried applying Joshua's theory for awhile.
And what about those non Christian guys? I dunno about you, but I might scare them off by telling them that they need to get circumcised into Christianity, heheheh! Though, it's probably not too bad. Perhaps we can do the same with non Christian girls too? (the dating part, not the circumcision. Blahhh :p)
God Bless!
p/s: I did have my reservations on non Christian guys dating Christian girls due to the fact that many started leaving church as their boyfriends weren't too happy with their involvement with God. Though, it could work the other way around too... Best is to not play with fire though :)
