Fabulous Reads...

Here are some links I found fascinating... The first is a column called "Single Minded" which is well written and easily relatable.

    How To: Score in Church

    The pews are packed with heavenly bodies. God bless you.

    Maxim, September 2005

    1. Find Your Faith
    Macking in a holy place is easier than almost anywhere else—the good girls never see it coming. Plus, “every girl wants to tell her father she met her boyfriend at church and not at a bar,” says God-fearing cutie Erin Howard, 25. Look for progressive sanctuaries that offer “contemporary” services (to attract a younger, hipper crowd) and coffee hours (so you can actually talk, as opposed to just ogling from afar).

    2. Enter the Kingdom
    Scope out the finest churchgoer, then snag the pew in front of her. You won’t appear too eager, yet you can make eye contact easily—and shake her hand if there’s a “sharing of the peace.” Avoid making moves mid-service. “You’re in a place of bloody worship; you have to be respectful,” notes Tracey Cox, author of Superdate. Instead, listen to the sermon, which’ll give you plenty to talk about later.

    3. Get Religion
    Despite the communion wine, forget your sloppy bar tactics. After the service, just introduce yourself and act genuinely curious about the church. Say, “I’m new here. Are you a regular?” This’ll transition to the coffee hour, where you can quiz her about the service and how she ended up there. If all else fails, say something about looking for a higher meaning in life. She may make it her goal to “convert” you.

    4. Reach the Promised Land
    At this point patience is key. “A lot of repressed religious girls are damn hot in bed,” notes Cox. “But you’re not getting a quick shag here.” Provided she’s sending positive signals (e.g., laughing, smiling, not making the sign of the cross), simply tell her you’d love to meet up, outside of church, and ask for her digits. And no matter where it goes from there, try to think like the Browns do: There’s always next Sunday!

    Oh dearie me. What's a sweet, innocent, defenseless girl to do?
    How about: those of us in this forum are not so stupid we would fall for this crap. Obviously. We haven't fallen for a lot, a huge problem of why we are perennially single.
    Try this out:
    One reader e-mailed me a couple years ago about a sermon he heard once aimed at single Christian men, urging them to pursue relationships with their Christian sisters so we aren't left as susceptible to the advances of non-Christian men, who won't hesitate to ask us out. That rang true to my experience when, a couple years ago, a non-Christian guy pursued me with invites to coffee and dinner. I knew I shouldn't accept since a God-honoring relationship couldn't happen with this guy based on 2 Corinthians 6:14, which tells us not to be yoked together with unbelievers. But it was so nice to finally have a guy notice me and take a little initiative to get a relationship started. I'm not saying the fact that Christian men haven't pursued me much is to blame for my susceptibility to his advances, but it certainly did leave me more vulnerable.

    Maybe we ARE poor defenseless damzels in distress....but heaven help us if we depend on Sir Galahad the Pure in the pew next to us! He's too busy waiting for God to email him with the phone number of his wife-to-be!
