I ran into this issue a few times lately from a few friends of mine...  What do you think?

yes, how else will she know that is what he has in mind without assuming things?
no, she should be able to tell by the way he acts
It dosent matter either way, it's not important to me

LOL... well it aint all peaches and cream for the guys either... The Single ladies outnumber the single men something like 4-1... so for every single available guy, there are 4 ladies looking for him!

And... when there are more than one single lady in the church, say like 4 of them, and then a guy moves into the area, or comes in and get the Holy Ghost... it is like "ooohhh, fresh meat!"... it can be quite disconcerting... especially if you don't wish to pursue anything with any of them.

That, and I am not the type of person interested in dating someone just to date, or just because they are there. There needs to be a concrete reason for me dating them, if I am dating them, it is cause I could possibly marry them...

What war ravaged island nation where most men have died in combat, do you speak of?  I have experienced quite the opposite.

*laugh* Sorry, Randy, but I'm with Yoop on this one. Every one of the singles' events I've been to had a ratio close to that - some even higher.

I wanna know where the nearest singles conference is in YOUR area, Randy!  lol  Sounds like a winner for sure.  Seems to me that the single women outnumber the guys most places around here, as well.  Except in my own church right now, where we're about even, but with all the ages and interests being all out of balance so no one really seems to fit well together.

So did you enjoy the Singles Conference in Visalia,.   Where there are more Married people then anything.  LOL

It was quite strange, Jonathan.  Made me want to organize one myself.  I've incredibly spoiled from the singles conferences that I attended at Bro. Libby's church in Maryland.  They were amazing!

Ya that was what I thought years back when I went there with a few friends.  It was fun to hang with my friends, but not worth the long drive.

It was just like a normal church service and a couple sessions.  Not that I mind going to a normal (really good, by the way) church service, but I expected SOMETHING to be different at least a LITTLE bit.  SOMETHING should have differentiated it from a normal conference or group of services.  Ya know?

Yea you would expect that on the friday night and Saturday night that it is made clear that this is a singles event, marrieds can buy a CD.   :pound:  Hello, when you are Married, you are no longer single.

rofl.  Indeed!  Marrieds can buy the CD...  or at least sit in the back or SOMETHING.  lol  I mean, at least let the singles have a reserved section or SOMETHING.  I would have paid money to register if that's what it would have taken.

lol  Wow.  You're smart, Rooster.

The only marrieds that belong at the single's conferences are those coming with groups of teens. Other than that, they should STAY HOME!

The one in Maryland was only for ages 18 and up.  Our singles group at church is for ages 21 and up.  No chaperones need apply.  lol

I agree, Sis.  lol

Jonathan: I didn't want the single guys' numbers.  I just wanted to know who should be asking for my number.  lol
As it was, they didn't know if it was safe to ask for mine, so they didn't have the courage to approach me.

I should have told you to have a shirt made up that said yes, I am single.

Well, she obviously isn't that into me, or she wouldn't be complaining abojut the lack of singles at the singles convention.

And, wasn't she talking to YOU before she called me into the conference call, the other night? Or, were you to distracted by _ _ _ _ , a southern Lady to remember these details?

But were you at that one, or did you not go...! Maybe she was bemoaning the fact that you missed it!

Aye, that she was...  :biglaugh: But as it has already been pointed out more than once, I am not even old enough to be an "Elder Bachelor," and therefore too young for her.

You know, it's one thing to have two guys fighting over you.
It's quite another for them to be fighting to be sure the world at large (or at least GPdom) understands why they could NEVER POSSIBLY end up with you.

**HUGS** John and Yoop

In all seriousness...  no need for apology, guys!  I was totally playing along with the silliness.

Now back to our regularly scheduled silliness?

I was actually enjoying watching the battle of wits, and I was quite serious when I said you are both quite well-armed.
