Is it normal to go to church to look for a boy or girl friend?

Is it normal for people to go to church to try to find a boy or girl friend, a potential marriage partner, yet actually have no real interest in religion or even belief in it, like some others might go to singles bars? Do you think that would be a good idea? Or hypocritical? Is there really anything wrong with being hypocritical?

Is It Normal?

  • It is normal and more common than you think, but it is hypocritical.

  • If your not interested in the belief in the first place then why be with someone who is somewhat dedicated? It might annoy you that the person is so in touch with his/her religion. Including the let's wait til' were married part.

  • LOL ! At the church I go to, you would almost think that was the entire point ! People there are so [deleted] shallow and superficial. I don't see the point of going to church anymore. The people there aren't any more good or bad than people you would find anywhere else.

    Anyway. Good luck !

  • Well, technically, I did not originally go to church looking for a girlfriend, but I hadn't been there long when I found one, and she did turn out to be a "bad" girl, in the sense that she soon seduced me and we began making love on a regular basis. Later though, she had an attack of conscience and wanted to put the brakes on our relationship. We broke up for awhile, then got back together, only to break-up again a short while later. She got pregnant and called me up and asked me if I still wanted to marry her, which I did. So we got hitched. The baby died of SIDS not long afterward. But we are still together after many, many years. So on the whole it has not worked-out too badly. Thank goodness!

  • Not exactly the place I'd look for a girl. I'm too afraid she'd be a "good Christian" in bed as well... Read frigid LOL

  • Normal for wanting the kind of girl that is portrayed as a church girl. (although she will think you're a skeeze when when she finds out why you were at church.

    Not normal however that your at church to score chicks. I can't see it, Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed...... Hey baby, can I get those digits? haha

  • Although I don't go to church and nobody I know goes to church I have heard from some American atheists I watch on youtube that its quite common for people to go the church to try and pick up a partner.

    I can see why it is though. You go there regularly see all the same faces share a common interest and all feel really good about yourself while your doing it.

    Hell I need to get my arse to church!

    • Maybe about 50 years ago this would have been good advice. With the economy going to shit and everyone feeling the effects, the amount of people that are going to church has more than doubled over the past 3-5 years. Go figure.

  • You can find a boy- or girlfriend wherever you like. But I'm wondering... why the church?

    • Because the odds of finding a 'good' boy or girl are a lot higher?

      • hmm... not sure if your odds are really better at a place like that. Oh well, no harm in trying. Good luck.

    • You will just as many BAD girls/boys at church as you will find just about anywhere in the general public.

      • Yes, that is true. However, depends what kind of a person you are looking for. You won't go into a bar thinking you will find this great guy. Not in my case anyway.

        In my opinion, those who go to church are more appealing to me than those who don't because they are taught things which others might disregard.

        While this might be true, I am aware of the fact that even those who go to church could be bad.
