How do you handle folks who are quick to say "Oh, you ought to ask ____ out, she's single and she's about your age."? I know they mean well, but usually I just say "Thanks, but I'm not looking for someone.". Even folks around church (including the pastor!) have hinted at various single ladies in our congregation. They'll keep feeding me trivia about them and saying what nice ladies they are as though I'm supposed to do something with this information. Well, no doubt they are nice women, they are good looking, we go to the same church, and we're both single, but I don't feel like dating!

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Well I've only been asked specifically about one person but it was more in the sense that "are you interested in him?" kind of question and I wasn't and told them so. But for me, if they did do that to me, I would probably ask them if they didn't think I could find someone on my own LOL

In my own case I would ask could you hook a brother up? But in your case it sounds like you just need to explain to them; you are not into dating at this time.

I suspect that the pastor knows how lonely those single ladies are and he is trying to help them out and figures he is going a good thing. Heck, I'd probably do the same thing if I was in his shoes.
So I think your comment about not looking for a lady is a good one.
