Thank you. Especially considering what has transpired within the last half-hour (God indicating to my roommate and I that He has a specific match in mind with me but someone/something isn't ready), I definitely think I was right to back out of what didn't feel like God was in it.

But as logical as it sounds, I don't think the bigger church is the way to go. First off, I tried that in my 20's without a hint of success, and second, it feels like trying to force things just as much as pursuing the possible relationship that God wasn't in.

I don't know what is going on with my apparent honey-to-be. A previous spouse dying of cancer? More refinement with him and/or me so we don't kill each other? I don't know, and I have been waiting a very long time. I'm starting to wonder if it will even happen before we both hit retirement age considering the way things have been going. Sigh. But what good is it to doubt God's goodness and care?

Thanks for the shepherding.

You know, that killing each other part gave me shivers and made me imagine an unhappy wife with a knife. Now I'm 100% sure I made the right choice in never wanting to be in a relationship. Lol

Speaking from personal experience, he may be busy with something that being married right now would get in the way of. But it may not last forever.

Of course that's just a maybe. He might also be a big jerk and God needs to knock a few rough edges off him before he's suitable. I've known that to be the case before.

Steve's been here for over six years, and though not very active in all that time, I do recall
him greeting newcomers for a while a few years back. Maybe he has met someone?
I did not follow all of it very closely but do realize he took a lot of flak...
and just hope he did not leave on account of that.
 
I found another Steve thread.
The first one was hilarious.
Well this one was similar, coffee without the donuts, Starbucks promotional material.

There are some churches that actually advertise FREE COFFEE instead of FREE SALVATION

I don't go to those kinds of churches, cos I found they charge people for attending, or guilt them into donating money or tithing, and that's why the coffee is free.
 
Pub quiz nite. There was one where I would go with the teachers, and we were in a team, and there was always this single guy there on his own, and he named his solo team 'single and looking' or something like that, but nobody ever talked to him...I mean he wasn't horrible looking and doing his best, but I'd just be embarassed to go up to him and chat because everyone would assume, that he's then found someone and voila instant couple.

I mean don't make it TOO obvious.
 
Few people go to Starbucks here. I sometimes go there when I study and read. I like the atmosphere here that can make me concentrate. There is no chance of meeting some nice guys at all, because every time I go, there are only two men on average, and the seats are far away from me, haha
 
I avoid the Starbucks. If I have to go somewhere like for a drink I go to a proper cafe that serves tea and food as well. Like *plug* Columbus Coffee. You'd think these Americans discovered coffee or something.
