Why I Will Never Have a Boyfriend

Wrote this up on my personal blog just now and thought you guys would be amused. (I nearly posted it here instead.) So without further ado: Why I Will Never Have a Boyfriend.

    Rather bleak outlook there. Perhaps that's why we need posts like the 'Let Us Pray' type?

    Hahahaha, that's great! It DOES look pretty impossible...but thank God for the evangelical belief in miracles, divine purpose, and the supercedence of rational laws by divine power, grace, and (I can't resist) prayer!

    Okay this is all getting too depressing. Girls, you must STOP being so doomsday about this.
    Here, read this article.
    There are enough single, born-again men.

    The real question is, where are they? Barna's study did find that more single women than single men are in church. So we're left wondering how to find them. If all these Christian men aren't in church on Sunday morning, what are single Christian women who want to marry supposed to do?

    In the second article, here, Walters goes on to cite "he breakdown among never married Christians. They told us they estimated 48 percent of never married men are believers and 52 percent of never married women are. Applying those estimates to the Census numbers, you end up with 14,189,280 never married Christian men and 12,300,600 never married Christian women."

    It is NOT as dire as it looks. BUT, I think we're suffering from a much bigger problem than the numbers game. I think, as modern women with every convenience, and every choice open to us, used to "having it your way," we are paralyzed with anxiety in making such a big choice. So, we rule most men out immediately. We're terrified that something better might come along next year, in the same way that we wait to buy the sweater because it will probably go on sale after the New Year.
    And trust me, I include myself in that "we." I am guilty of far too much discouragement toward Christian men, always thinking, "well, if I start something with him, I can't meet someone in France/Italy/grad school." Yep, I'm a bargain man-hunter. And I end up not buying anything, just like when I go to the mall.

    I'll have to write another post up using Marianne's stats for how much harder it is to find a Christian man than one who isn't. I did some rough numbers last night and came up with 1/10,000 Christians and 1/2000 non-Christians as potentially suitable.

    Don't mean to make anyone depressed, BTW. This is partially just hilarious to me--and obviously since most people get married, most of us do have a good shot at it from even a numbers standpoint--and partially out of a little frustration, it's true.
