My Soul MateInformation, tips and resources for all your dating and relationship needs.

Do you have Christian principles and beliefs? And are you single, divorced or lonely and looking for romance with someone who shares your principles? Then you owe it to yourself to get out from under your restraints and find someone who cares about the issues that you care about, and is looking for friendship or even romance with a like minded soulmate. I found a useful link at the Singles-America.info Blog

You know, after my wife passed away, I kind of buried myself in my work, and even though I went to church, and prayed for guidance, it seemed like my life was at an impasse. After a couple of miserable years, I felt as if I was spiralling downward. I didn't become a lush, and I always showed up on time for work, I just seemed a little, well distant to my co-workers. And that’s just not me.

So one day after a particularly lonely time at a party I was invited to by some co-workers, I made up my mind to have a heart to heart talk with my pastor. When the congregation filed out of the church, I waited for the preacher, and asked if we could set up a time to meet.

When we met , I bared my loneliness and depair to him. I told him that I found some comfort in prayer, but that I needed to find someone to help fill the void that my wife’s death had left. We discussed the fact that I had been to several church related events, but that I felt that everyone knew my story, and my feelings, and somehow, out of respect or hesitancy, I couldn’t bring myself to make the first move towards breaking the ice with any of the other members of our congregation.

Pastor Bill, smiled and with a compassionate look on his face, he told me that perhaps the best way for someone like me to break the ice might be an online dating service.

"Listen up" my friend. “I know what you are going through, and I am not suggesting that you betray your Christian principles or open up your home to strangers who are looking to take advantage of you. But you really should take advantage of modern technology and utilize a safe, confidential internet site such as MatchMaker.com, it’s a site where you can meet only Christian singles who share your beliefs and principles. Sure you can find some comfort with your fellow congregants, but sometimes it isn't best to let everyone in on your emotional ups and downs, you should probably think outside the box and try online Christian personals. Of course we aren't a hotbed of singles action at our congregation, Matchmaker.com seems to offer a confidential, inexpensive practical way to meet someone new. Take a chance.”

I thought it over, and you know, it wasn’t long before what the pastor said seemed to make sense. So I gave Matchmaker.com a shot. I’ve reviewed dozens of profiles, and have actually shared emails with 3 seemingly very nice Christian women. Am I 100 percent convinced, well I guess not, on the other hand we are getting in touch again via telephone, could be good news as far as loneliness goes.
