[Both of you!] &#8211; for the&nbsp;Ladies!]]></title><type><![CDATA[link]]></type><html><![CDATA[<p>Jesus-loving single ladies, this blog is for you:</p>
<p>i would love to hear from single Jesus-loving ladies who read this blog. This seems to be a really huge cry from Jesus-loving women out there and i really think it&#8217;s important that we address it and hear both sides. I don&#8217;t believe this is only a guy responsibility. I think there are issues on both sides of this dilemma and the best way to move forward on it is to hear from girls and guys in the situation. </p>
<p>Here are some of my questions for you:</p>
<p>* what are the main issues that you have with regards to this situation? [There are no decent guys in the church? The guys aren&#8217;t asking you out? The guys aren&#8217;t serious in relationships?] Help us define the problem.</p>
<p>* what do you think the girls are contributing to the issue and where do you need to take responsibility? [Do guys feel intimated by Christian girls? Are your standards too high in terms of &#8216;the perfect guy&#8217;? Are you approachable? Have girls been playing games so much that the guys are over it?]</p>
<p>* What do guys do or fail to do that exacerbates the issue?</p>
<p>* Are there any things that you can do to make it easier for the guys to initiate relationship/ask you out?</p>
<p>In case you were not yet aware of what issue we are talking about, the topic was raised when I wrote that you need to date someone who has Jesus as their number one focus. A bunch of girls responded by saying &#8220;where are these guys?&#8221; &#8211; either they don&#8217;t exist (Christ-following girls outnumber Christ-following guys in church) or else they are not asking us out. </p>
<p>Your comments will be most appreciated. Hopefully we can start to get to the bottom of this and at least find some ways of making things easier for both sides. </p>
