Who All Would Like to See a Matchmaking Thread Here in Singles?

[TabinRivCA]

just read the 'THREAD' and not the responses;

just as a first jerk reaction comment:
I would say hub and I would 'not like to see one', this thread...but, that's just us'...

so, if there should become a 'matchmaking-thread-club thread here, then please 'make sure'
that your Faith has given you the wisdom to see the truth in all things...

If you look at the results of the poll, over 50% in favor of this. There is nothing bad going on here, just some good ol fashion giggles and possibly some happy couples.

ruby is in Western Australia, 4,000km west of here, or 2400 miles. It takes four days by car to get there, and with social isolations rules there are no domestic flights in Australia .

She'd be worth it, but alas I'll have to research the other Aussies here. Hang in there@ Ruby123

 

[Susanna]

Twice I have for you 🤣

Well, but my old eyes didn’t see that match😂.

This is like going to the prom😁.

 

[TabinRivCA]

No one has matched me with Sir Perfectly Perfect, yet😂.

This is like going to the prom😁.

I'm still working my magic, lol, got to get it right. You might have to settle for Mr less than perfect, or is that a dealbreaker, lol.

I appreciate your feedback, Oldethennew, and I do understand the concerns of those who have expressed the problems of an "official matchmaking thread." This is why I didn't go through with my original plan of a series of 3 threads leading up to one that was "officially" for matchmaking.

I'm not picking on you or your post at all, but this is something I find ironic within the Christian community.

Plenty of us singles have had people try to play matchmaker for us -- our parents, our co-workers, our neighbors, that group of little old ladies at church, and yes, even Aunt Bertha (from the poll) -- and that's considered fine and dandy. In fact, raise your hand out there if you have had people who have gotten down-right offended when you were either not interested in their matchmaking at all or did meet the person they wanted you to meet but didn't feel ANY connection -- and then were made to feel guilty about it.

BUT the minute SINGLES actually talk about suggesting matches FOR EACH OTHER AMONG THEMSELVES, GASP!!! "MAKE SURE YOUR HEART IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE!!!" Because SURELY we aren't capable of doing this in a mature, adult fashion on our own!!!

Please excuse me while I roll my eyes all the way around about 50 times in my head.

We singles, and the singles forum, are always seen as being "frivolous" and "non-spiritual." Even more ironic is when those who are married want to dictate our behavior, when at the same time, Family Forum is always filled with married people who are listing any and every reason to leave their spouse (I'm not saying at all that their reason aren't legitimate in some cases, I'm just saying, am I the only one who sees the irony in some married people constantly telling singles to guard their hearts and to keep their eyes on the Lord???!!)

Is this why some married people come here -- to try to make sure all of us "rowdy" singles are being "kept in line"? (I am not speaking at all to the marrieds who share their wisdom and encouragement here -- we appreciate you very much -- and when we are seen as "not having our hearts in the right place," we appreciate you even more.)

One of the reasons I wrote this thread is because I was going through a long time of very deep soul/spirit/"Where are you, Lord?" searching. It seems like every time I turn around, someone is asking me if I could please pray for them because of a family tragedy, crushing financial blows, and, most commonly (in my life at least,) cancer.

I have spent the last 6 months very deeply seeking God for some kind of spiritual storehouse with which to be able to try to turn around and comfort other people.

For myself, a thread like this was a much-needed break for myself and hopefully others, and meant to be all in fun, and not some kind of serious marriage-making event. I understand thoughtthat this just might be my own sense of humor.

However, just because singles crack jokes and want to have a good laugh now and then, please don't pre-judge them as being shallow and spiritual-less.

(Oldethennew, I'm not saying you are necessarily doing this. I'm just saying... It's just so completely ironic to me that singles are always accused of being lesser in every way, including our faith.)

We love it when married friends hang out in Singles to tell us what married life is really like, because we need to hear what married people really face, and I do understand "gentle" "reminders" to "keep our focus on the Lord."

But when they want to imply that we're somehow not as spiritual as they might assume they are?

Not so much.

For the marrieds who want to keep us singles in line, I would issue an equal challenge.

When you walk into the bedroom with your spouse tonight, may your heart be as 110% focused on the Lord as you want ours to be.

Please let her be my match! LOL...

Perhaps when the lockdown restrictions end you two can get together. Judging by her post history and forum decorum she is well worth the trip. Something to consider.

Thank you S.S. that was most appreciated by many I'm sure...

This thread you created is outstanding and may prove uplifting for all the lonely people on this site. I believe, that having read your posts through the years that God has really created a sort of ministry for you on this site. Personally, I believe that you are a tremendous spiritual asset to the CC community. Please keep up the good work.

It’s not just bourbon, it’s Jim Beam. Besides, I think I was born relatively close to Bourbon street😁.

Beam is where its at!!!!!!! uh I like grits, but GRITS?

 

[Mel85]

Well, but my old eyes didn’t see that match😂.

Twice with the same man @JustEli 😂











Damn gurl, you playin’ hard to get aye 🥴😂

 

[Solemateleft]

@HeraldtheNews + anyone who'd like an adventure in Alaska
@seoulsearch + @Solemateleft
@Ruby123 + @Gregoryp both in Aussie land
@CharliRenee + someone warm, sincere, and FUN @oyster67

I'll have to do more research for further results. All this to get us thinking, haha, good one, fun and meaningful a good match!

LOL, I see what you did there with your little play on souls...
Wow, I'm just honored/humbled to make the list and than to get a match-nod with arguably the most popular gal on the site (Queen of the CC Court)... Wow, what a blessed honor just to be nominated along with all of her other CC matches...

Yes, I would be in favor of such a thread... as I am inherently intrigued with human behavior, human dynamics, personality types, compatibility, and the human soul - and to couple that with CC/spiritual journey - sounds very interesting indeed... For all those on this site who have rebuilt, know their self-worth and are ready to make that transition of their own fruition (for the right reasons). Already looks like some good clean healthy fun...

No surprise that the Queen of @seoulsearch came up with this inspiration.

Has anyone matched with @TabinRivCA ?

I couldn’t have said it any better (and I mean literally cause my english grammar ain’t on your level) but this is exactly why I don’t careth for people’s opinions who constantly want to ..... you know what? I’m wasting my energy and time typing this.

Back to matchmaking couples for the LOLs.

@seoulsearch you keep doing you - if it weren’t for your threads along with others, this forum would be dead. 😂

Haha, this reminds me of my mother’s poor attempts at making me find someone new...

For some reason she’s always speaking to me in English when she is working her magic, like Tabin would’ve put it lol...even though her English is worse than...um...

Mother: My sweet child, ‘ow long since he died? 10 years? 15 years? I don’t remémber. He’s dead. Why don’t you find someone??? A dad for your daughter?
Me: She’s 25...
Mother: Yes, oui, but still. You must go out. Meet people. Meet men. I ‘ave noticed that cute garçon at the restaurant.
Me: Mom...
Mother: I ‘ave told ‘im your name, oui.
Me: No?
Mother: Oui, naturellement! (At this point French is making its entry...lol)
Me: But why?
Mother: It’s not good for you to be alone in that big house. What if a burglar is breaking in? A murder? You ‘ave no man to protect you.
Me: I’m fully capable of...(interrupted by mom)
Mother: women of today, like men, dat’s why dey never marry. Never.
Me: Okay...

LOL

True story... on repeat😂🤦‍♀️
