Confessions of an Internet Eavesdropper

November 21, 2012 by 8 Comments

I’m not proud of the story that is to follow, but if it helps one person avoid a similar downward spiral, then I will take one for the team and throw myself into the flames. Either that or it’s just good for me to laugh at some of the stupid things I’ve done. Whichever…

During a Lifetime holiday movie binge one afternoon, something caused me to remember a guy I went out with once. I hadn’t thought about him in years. We met online (yes, it was through one of the best Christian dating sites that SingleRoots has reviewed) and after several phone conversations, we went on a date. [Read more...]

Discovering Who I Am

November 14, 2012 by 19 Comments

Today marks the 40th time I’ve posted for SingleRoots and almost a year since I was blessed with the opportunity to provide a voice for a project that I wholeheartedly believe in. It’s been a year of dramatic change yet my job, residence, church, and relationship status have all remained the same. Nevertheless, these 12 months have been a catalyst to tremendous discovery and growth in my life.

The Lord has imparted some nuggets of wisdom to me during this time that I believe are beneficial for everyone: [Read more...]

The Great Debate: Should I List the Qualities I Want in a Spouse?

November 9, 2012 by 14 Comments

In Christian circles, there seem to be a million spoken and unspoken dating rules. People talk with all kinds of authority on what should and should not be done and lay the smackdown in arguments if you should veer from their acceptable path. It’s kind of humorous considering the Bible has very little to say about the topic of dating itself.

At best, people can offer their advice, thoughts, conclusions, convictions, and rationale for choosing their particular dating camp, but that’s about it. Mandating grey areas in the dating realm for others isn’t exactly promoting freedom in Christ. [Read more...]

Dear Adam and Eve :: Christian Dating Advice about PDA

April 22, 2012 by 8 Comments

Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on your budding romance...

[Disclaimer: The Dear Adam/Eve posts are meant to be a humorous feature that attempts to poke fun at some of the stereotypes and issues that arise in the dating world. If sarcasm isn't your thing, you might want to stop reading now...]

Dear Adam and Eve,

It’s readily apparent that you are fond of each other. Your new found relationship has put stars in your eyes and a little extra giddy-up in your step. Allow me to be first to congratulate you. I want to make it clear that I’m extremely happy for the both of you.

Formalities aside, let’s discuss your incessant desires to display your affection physically for public viewing. The fact of the matter is I’m old enough by now that I should have seen this coming a mile away. Exchanging Facebook status updates containing the phrase “Spending the day with my baby!” yet neither of you is the parent of an infant child is usually a clear indicator that you’re completely unaware of how intolerable you are together.

Dear Adam :: A Thank You

April 15, 2012 by 8 Comments

This is for the single guys...

Dear Adam,

Don’t worry, I’m not going to tell you what you’re doing wrong today. We’ll save that for another week.

We’ve talked a few times recently about men taking initiative and pursuing women. It’s a problem for some men, to be sure. But there are many great guys out there who are getting everything right. Because signals can easily get crossed, sometimes in the single world we fail to tell a member of the opposite sex how much we appreciate, not only their efforts, but who they are.

So if I may, I’d like to speak a word to the guys on behalf of the ladies… [Read more...]
