My girlfriend and I are both Christians and have an excellent relationship. The relationship is about 4 months old and we haven't even argued. Last night she went out to a bar with her girlfriend and told me that her girlfriend and her talked to guys and that some bought her a drink.

I wouldn't blame Christian women for the lack of wanting to go to bars, because some of us (not all) certainly do. . . and we're wondering where the Christian guys are. It's a 2-way street. <BR/>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7399145.post-1145636003617225382006-04-21T19:13:00.000+03:002006-04-21T19:13:00.000+03:00Good post, Dave.

My feelings are similar, through from a "where are all the Christian guys?" standpoint. <BR/><BR/>I'm generally not much of a bar person, unless it's to hear live music--but I do have a lot of friends who are guys (maybe most of my friends are, actually). But even non-Christians will say they're tired of the bar scene and the kinds of people they meet there.

I agree that ideally you will meet someone in a setting where they are being their truest self.<BR/><BR/>I've always hoped I would meet someone in my youth ministry volunteer work - because I feel like my truest self there and would love to have a relationship with someone who feels the same and enjoys the same work. <BR/><BR/>But that hasn't happened yet.

Why would a Christian guy want to go to a bar?<BR/><BR/>There are plenty of upbeat restaurants where both Christians girls and guys wouldn't feel awkward at all. And there are 2-3 single men to every single man in almsot every church in the land.
