I somehow got signed up for speed date too, I don’t know how, but I deal with it the easy way, auto-delete. If only all of life’s problems were so easily solved.

These days it seems the men in my age bracket want only the young girls on Miami beach to look pretty on their arms.

Sorry to hear it. But you know how it is. You would have been pulling in different directions.

I think dating outside the religion can be a little like idolatry, because you can find yourself in a position where you are serving your partner in preference to God.

“Hey a non-Christian just broke up with me over some total BS!”

Hi Baldilocks!
.
Being ‘done’ with a relationship doesn’t require an excuse. The ‘excuse’, no matter how lame, is for the audience s(he) is playing to so that there is enough damage control that s(he) is not ostracized (and to build his/her case).
.
My brother-in-law was ‘done’ with his marriage to my sister quite a few years ago and it showed in his poor behaviors towards her through the years. She continued to try to make it work while he set up for a divorce which was finalized this spring (hedged heavily in his favor). One thing I’ve learned from this situation is that charm is far more powerful than truth.
.
Going for a Christian (or Jewish) guy is a great idea. If there is any advice I’d give (which… I know you didn’t ask for… ) it would be this: I’d watch what he does and not what he says.

Hey a non-Christian just broke up with me over some total BS! It hurt, but I’m relieved to be allowed get back in God’s line.

There are certainly a plethora of single women at any given church.

Yes, Ed. My daughterinlaw became engaged to my son about 30 seconds after she swore off men, dating and the whole miserable thing. It was kind of funny really. Actually, I introduced them. Busy, busy, busy.

Steve,
Just out of curiosity, what qualifies as “watered-down Buddhism”? Vegetarianism? Transcendental Meditation? Reincarnation? Or something else? Who is teaching this? I do own a hand truck and probably some duct tape, but I’m not sure what exactly to do with it.
