Do Christians Over-Complicate Dating?
Nothing in life seems more confusing than listening to a sample of Christians discuss their dating experiences and I’ve spent a good few years listening to some of the trauma. Ok trauma might be an exaggeration, but the Christian dating scene does seem quite bleak. Type the title into any search bar and you’ll be…

Christians, Stop Dating To Marry…
This will probably not be the first, nor will it be the last time that I write on this (because sadly we malign the topic daily) but there is a weird Christian dating culture. The Christian dating culture introduced us to concepts like “date only in group settings”; “Holy Spirit hugs (you know, don’t hug…

Holy and Horny
Yes, I did just put holy and horny in the same sentence. Yes we are going to discuss these adjectives in tandem because they are not mutually exclusive and yes the article might make you feel a little uncomfortable but through discomfort we learn and/ unlearn. I’m not sure how many people will appreciate the…

How To Date As A Christian…
You clicked on this page (hopefully) because you’re a Christian and probably because you’re dating or looking to date. If you’re a newbie to the dating scene (welcome) you may have hoped to get more intel on the topic before diving in and if you’re a well seasoned veteran, maybe you were curious as to…

Should You Move Churches If There Isn’t Enough Eye Candy At Your Church?
“If you want a Christian man, maybe try the church.” – Anon The title of the article is problematic for obvious reasons. The notion of uprooting yourself from a church you may (or may not ) be invested in because you’re not attracted to the available pool of men within said church sounds absurd. The…

How Millennials Changed The Dating Game
Someone asked me once to expound on the “talking” phase. I was extremely flattered that they considered me wise enough to divulge on such a contentious topic but I was also confused as to how to start explaining a phenomenon I myself wasn’t too familiar with or particularly liked. Before delving into any more detail,…

Christians Are Doing Abstinence All Wrong.
I live on twitter. I’m slowly weaning myself off twitter because firstly it is a major distraction and secondly the ratio of slander to praise is ridiculously high. However, I do find myself scrolling up and down my Apple screen just before bed, hoping to catch a few giggles before I fall asleep. On this…

Message to Christian Girls, Stop Having A Type…
We all have our physical types. However, for the Christian woman actively dating (or at least scoping the market), having a type cripples her success with men. To explain to a readership who knows very little about me, I like chocolate men. I like my men the colour of a Twix bar minus the caramel.…

8 Women You Shouldn’t Date (According to Men)
Disclaimer: I didn’t want to write this but they made me do it. I guess I had to considering some men felt a little hurt by 5 Men You Shouldn’t Date and seeing as I’m all for equality it made sense to at least publish a follow up post. Before I delve into the list…

5 Men You Shouldn’t Date…
Dating is similar to algebra. Yes I just compared the human process of mating to mathematics but bear with me whilst I attempt to explain. In algebra, the objective is to find “x” and within dating both parties are also trying to find “x”. It’s a process of trial and error, whereby all the wrong…

5 Ways To Cope With Valentine’s Day Whilst Single..
Valentine’s day has become something of a duel between singles and couples. Couples generally take the opportunity to show their loved “one” how much they mean to them by way of a gift. The gift can range from chocolates, to flowers, to a date or a holiday, depending on how much emphasis you both place…

Can I Rent A Valentine?
“Would you rent when you could own?” – Anon. Do you remember when you were young ( I mean really young, think 10 years ago) and you wanted to ask a question in class? You would always weigh up the pros and cons of asking this question because the last thing you wanted was to…

There Aren’t Enough Christian Men…
I’m sorry to burst your bubble so early into the article. I’m sorry for not setting the scene before ruining the ending but it has to be said, there aren’t enough Christian men. Granted I haven’t come to this conclusion by way of any scientific experiment. No sample has been taken. No survey has been…

Christianity & The Great Sexpectations
This post is not for kids. Please proceed with caution. I am not an authority on sex. I thought that would be a great disclaimer given the subject matter as I wouldn’t want the article to mislead anyone into thinking that I was. I’m simply a woman who has dared to think about married life…

Christian Thirst.
“but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:14 (Jesus) I had never heard of the word thirst until I became well acquainted with social networking sites. I had always been at…

Bae-Watch
I would hope that many of us are familiar with the show Bay- Watch (if not cue Google) and so will appreciate the word play in the title. However, this article has no semblance to the TV series that revolved around lifeguards in red hot swimming costumes, that captured millions. This isn’t even an article…

Brothers (in Christ) With No Game? The Sequel
When I first wrote the controversial article, “Brothers (in Christ) With No Game”, I thought it was a finished product. I thought it would never need revisiting because it was so damn well written and I had explored every possible conclusion with regards to the dynamics between male and female relations within the church. I…

Stop Hating Valentine.
Some of us are giddy at the thought of Valentine’s Day, some of us scowl over the notion. The former are lovers but are the latter haters? At some point in our lives we have dreaded the arrival of February because it reminded us of our single status. We would enter into the second month…

If You Really Love Somebody You Can Wait?NO! You Better Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace.
Despite the frankness in the title (no you better speak now or forever hold your peace) this post is coming from a loving place, as all my articles generally do. Nothing would give me more joy than to hear that you have all found love (preferably not in a hopeless place) and are happy and…

Situationships.
The ascent of the “sidechick culture” has led me to the following conclusions: There has been a change in the way we perceive relationships and if you disagree then it means you have either been fortunate enough to have been surrounded by perfect examples or you are simply failing to see the wood for the…
