Advice for singles
I'm hoping you ladies have some advice that I can give to my SIL.
She is single and looking to meet guys. She is 32 and lives in Spokane. Her biggest thing is that the guy must be Christian. She "refuses" to go to bars or try online dating. She is very active in her church and helps out with the high school youth group A LOT!! She says that she doesn't have any single friends her age that live in Spokane and all her other girlfriends are married. I think the fact that she is still single and living at home and that her birthday is coming up is starting to get to her. FINALLY!!
I've tried suggesting Meet Up but I feel like she is just humoring me by saying she will look into it.
Any suggestions? How did you meet your DH?
Re: Advice for singles
Why is she so against meeting someone online? If I remember right, I think I've seen commercials specifically for Christian singles.
And, 32 is not old for not being married. I have plenty of single friends in their early 30s. I just hate for her to get bogged down over a number.
I met my H thought mutual friends.
I think you should tell her that online dating isn't what it used to be - it's a completely normal way for people to make their circle of friends bigger to increase the chances of meeting someone to date. I have friends in their mid-20's using it, not because they're desperate, just because it makes sense. And I have Christian friends who have used it successfully too (both the big sites like Match.com and the specifically Christian ones).
I think maybe a little tough love is necessary here and being her sister, you are the best person to tell her. It isn't going to magically happen out of thin air - if she isn't doing things to meet people her own age, how does she think she will meet the right guy? And I don't mean that sarcastically, I think that's a totally fair question to ask her to get her thinking. I have plenty of friends who have met someone and gotten married in their 30's, it isn't something to be terrified about!

this--and this exactly. dating websites aren't what they used to be...i have friends in early/mid 20's using it....also, without any effort, she won't *ever* meet anybody. and like uw, i also have friends in their 30's not married (or even close to being married).
i met my h originally at work..then we lost touch, and reconnected through a friend i met at work, who had a friend from basketball, who was friends with h from hs.
