I don't like that fact that every girl that has an intrest in me, is a non-believer.
It's sooo difficult anymore to connect with a girl that shares the same beliefs as me while being attracting to each other in different ways. I am not the type to get with a non-believer and try to get them to believe what I believe cause I think that's just headed for a dead end. Lord give me patience. Does anyone else share this type of experience please share.

I do too. Oddly enough, it turns out most guys I have an interest in are non-believers also. Honestly, many of the Christian guys I've met, I felt like they were judging me. Non-believers, in my experience, are more open-minded, willing to consider other viewpoints. I guess I haven't met the right guys or something.

I've been involved with an agnostic and an atheist. With both, I went into the friendship with no intentions, and ended up having a connection with them, a very strong one with the atheist.

Yes - I think over this last year, probably 2 guys that are (what I call) "active Christians" have approached me. Everyone else has either been a agnostic, atheist or muslim (that still puzzles me ).

I only dat Christians too so needles to say its been a LLLOOOONNNNNNGGGG time since I have been on one.

Yes. It seems that non-believers are open minded to my many flaws. Believers have been judgemental and it seems too that most (not all) of them have stricter standards about a girl's looks. I want to date believers if I am to date anyone (I'm not) but I can't seem to find that happy medium.

I have only had the problem once and that was when i was 17, I had only been a christian for 7 months or so and i dated a non-christian guy who claimed he was a christian but then a)slept with someone while dating me and b) was only dating me to see how far he could get. dating non-christians just doesn't seem worth it - I don't actualy have many non-christian friends, i mainly hang out with christians all the time!!

I've only had one christian girl like me and she ended up being no so christian. I pray that the Lord will select my wife for me because I do a bad job of choosing em.

That's been my experience too. Thats why I don't put too much emphasis on whether the person is Christian or not. It limits the playing field too much and in the beginning you don't really know to what extent they are Christian anyways. Also, what if you were meant to lead your girlfriend/boyfriend to Christ? If there's an attraction there, I like to be open to all girls in the beginning and give them a chance. It seems as if many nonbelievers are nonbelievers because they have unanswered questions that they can't figure out. They hang around you more and more and things may sink in for them.

I understand what you mean. I have the hardest time finding single christian guys.. .all through school it seemed every guy I met and was interested in did not share his thoughts or feelings about God and christianity. I just want to meet some that feel the same way I do. Its God's will when it happens though.. I have faith. Be strong bogie.. He has someone out their for you as well! God Bless! *purebeauty*

It is hard finding single Christian guys as most of the guys that are in my Sunday school class are in their late thirties and early forties. I want to meet someone that feels the same way I do. Be of strong faith too bogie!
