Keep being patient. Better that then one day (20 years later) wishing that you had been more patient. :)

Uh...I don't know how to say this any other way then saying it.
If you don't mind marrying soemone from another country, go ahead and
look into short term missions in Latin America. Beautiful, God loving girls
await husbands there. For some reason in our countries we are lacking
enough young Christian men. I am not going to try to come up with an explanation of why, it is just the way it is. Is no big secret.
Pray about it and peace to you.

From what I have seen in my Christian singles group it is no more than what you see in a bar - except for the drinking. Looks are all that seems to be important to men and women and very few are looking at inward qualities. Eharmony is no better, they are only looking for outward beauty. Notice who gets put on the commercials -- you never see a heavy person or an unattractive person.

I actually met my wife at my sisters college graduation.
(she didnt remember me at 1st when i called, which really messed up my plan
and the notes I made on what to say next! :panic)
So I just took a deep breath and asked her out to eat anyway and she agreed.
The rest is history.
Dont limit yourselves to church.
Christian girls go other places too. :shocked
When I was single these are some of the things that helped me meet girls.
Single men can taylor it to their own style, or consider it all bunk...some may disagree..but here it is.
1st, pray that God helps you meet THE one, continually.
Dump all your old baggage and bitterness. Think happy, it shows.
Then get outside of your box, see and let yourself be seen. Smile and be friendly...look your best..be funny if possible. Take chances on being rejected. If you do get rejected, shrug it off and keep on. Never give up.
Never give in to discouragement. Never act or be hard up or needy.
Dont be paranoid.:hehee
Be yourself...be real. If they dont like the REAL you then they arent the one and you cant pretend
forever anyway.
Be brave, talk to them..
Be friendly.:
Most of all believe that God will provide according to His will.:pray
Remember, you only have to meet the ONE right one.
Its very likely she is also looking for you.:thumb
Dont burn bridges behind you. Most girls know other girls, one of them may be the one you are looking for or know her.
Dont let the search consume you, take time to have fun outdoors too just being a dude. Get a little sun...youll look better.

I met my wife online, no joke, on a dating site. She claimed her faith in her profile, and as I wouldn't date anyone who wasn't a Christian, it was nice to see faith displayed publicly. It was love at first sight, I kid you not. Now she is upstairs making dinner! God is good!

Im single :bighug(thats me giving myself a hug, lol)..
sometimes I feel like :yay and other times like :sob being single....I kind just assumed after I got really close to JESUS and on -fire and committed he would send me a christian husband.. so im here also patiently waiting..:tapping
I tried e-harmony for 3 months.. i didnt like it at all.. One guy used the picture of a country western singer in place of his own picture :gaah.....I cancelled it..then i had a nutcase email me..i knew he was up to no good...The HOLY SPIRIT is wonderful at helping me sizing up peoples motives and he shows me the truth:thumb..I almost feel JESUS saying for me to step aside and let HIm pick the one...Ive also had messages about how JESUS has predetermined some of his children to stay single:twitch
so either im being prepared for the "one" or im supposed to stay single...:scratch....
At this point it does seem that Rapture is fast approaching and then ill be marrying only JESUS!!!
maybe he wants it that way:idunno
Ill accept whatever his will is for me...
