Funny. Awkward. Yep, Let's Talk about Dating.

Edit: This was started in May and is being finished now, like when I hit publish now. I've had several discussions with both guys and girls over the last few weeks about this topic of dating and singleness. A lot of woe as me has been discussed. A lot of this has been good chatter about the gifts of singleness. I started compiling this listing of sources that I personally have been able to find some strength in. Also, I listened to the two sermons this weekend on a long drive this weekend and let me just say, that was fabulous use of my time.

It's a rather intriguing thing that most sermons about dating are pointed towards, well, dating. There's not so many on singleness. Talks on singleness preached by someone in a relationship or married just seem kind of confusing because the person is not single. The guy that does these sermons is single - which provides both laughter and honesty from a single to a single and from a single to dating/married friends as well. [/endedit].


I am single. I'm writing this in May and will probably post it much later in the summer when I'm in Costa Rica. I'm pretty confident though that the initial statement in this post won't change. I've read a lot of great posts about the subject lately. I'm not sure if I'm drawn to the subject or they just happen to find me. Either way, I hope you can gain some insight into singleness with these links:

Never dated. Never asked out. Never rejected.

Singleness with a purpose.

& A dash of funny because I've definitely encountered the awkward singleness question.

The September 2005 Village Church podcasts entitled Single-Minded (Part 1): "It is better to marry than to burn..." and Single-Minded (Part 2): "It is good to remain as you are...". I really hope you can find them through itunes still. They are gems.
