Let’s face it. It’s hard enough to find Mr. Wonderful the way it is.
Searching for integrity, intellect, attractiveness, wit, sense of humor, and charisma all in the same man can be a torturous treasure hunt. And if you’re the kind of girl who takes the ultra-specific, must-have-blue-eyes-brown-hair-like-alternative-rock-hate-country-love-cats approach, you better have hound-dog-meets-hyena hunting skills.
Layer the Christian criteria on top of that, and it feels like you might as well be looking for a unicorn with a diamond-tip horn, and a mane of silk-spun Egyptian cotton…that eats rainbows as it poops glitter.
So if you haven’t already scored Mr. Right (or settled for less than the rainbow-eating, glitter-pooping unicorn), then these struggles are likely the saga of your dating life.
It all starts here…
1.) This is the type of guy we meet when we go out Saturday night…
2.) And THIS is the type of guy we meet when we go to church Sunday morning…
3.) Then, we meet Thor at the gym and he’s working out to DC Talk:
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut it turns out he’s already married to Bible-study-leading, basket-weaving, wife-of-the-year, bench-press Barbie:
4.) So we bring home the boy from our singles Bible study instead, and our friends be like…
5.) But our parents love him so we’re all…
When we’re really hoping for the guy that makes us feel a little more like this…
6.) Why can’t being equally yoked be as simple as this?
Wait, that’s not quite the same thing, is it…
7.) Oh, what’s that handsome? You’re not saved — BUT you come from a Christian family? That’s a start.
A really bad start, but at this point, we’re wondering if a decent Christian man is a fairy tale so we’re at the take-what-you-can-get point of dating
8.) But maybe we can fix that… Sometimes we feel like we have a better shot at making you a Christian than finding one. We know missionary dating isn’t really the answer, but there are exceptions, right?
9.) And then there are the guys who pretend to be Christians just to date us. They go to church. Walk the walk. Talk the talk. We’re convinced.
Until WE see the light…and the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
