Why do Christian singles have so many questions?
Here's a phenomenon I didn't know existed until I started writing these articles: if you Google phrases like "questions from singles," about 95% of the results are for Christian websites addressing issues about life as a single Christian.
I had no idea that Christian singles had so many questions. Especially compared to secular singles, or singles of other religions. I have yet to encounter an article about "questions from Muslim singles," for example, or "questions from Jewish singles." It's always Christian singles specifically.
Dating as a Christian is (from what I can gather) a tense and complicated affair. Not only do you have to navigate the usual dating issues (is he kind, does he like the same things I like, is he rude to waiters), you also have to be asking Christian questions (is he Godly, does he believe in purity, does he lead a righteous life).
Frankly, it sounds exhausting. All snark and frivolity aside, I feel genuinely sorry for Christian singles. It sounds even rougher than being an atheist single, which is not always a party either, believe me.
