If you're a Christian and you're single for more than five minutes, then there must be something wrong with you. Not really, but that seems to be mentality in most of our churches today. There's always a conspiracy between your married friends to "hook you up" with someone. At first you don't really notice it. You think that your friends don't have a secret agenda with your life planned out. But if you pay attention, you can see the signs.
-When you go out to the movies
You went out with a large group of people to the movies. Just some brothers and sisters in Christ spending some time in fellowship. That's what you think! Suddenly, the scenario changes. Every one of those people quickly pairs up with someone else, leaving you alone with the other single person that was tricked. Guess what? They also saved you a spot next to each other so that you can watch a romantic comedy side by side.
-The things in common
There's the classic, "you have so many things in common" line, even when those "things in common" can be shared with about 1.5 other billion people in the world. For example, your friend will tell you something like, "She goes to church, just like you. She has a Bible too! What's yours ESV? So it's hers! Match made in heaven, or what?!"
-The "romantic" stalker
Some people in church are creepy. That's a fact. For some reason, some of your friends don't see that and want to set you up with unique individuals. Your friend Christine may want to set you up with a stalker/creepy guy that you don't even know. "So he wrote you a letter saying that God told him in a dream that you belong together? That's so powerful! And he carries a picture of you that he took from your little brother's wallet? How romantic!"
Have you had a similar experience?
