Find God's match for you

When I heard these words this morning, I halted my morning makeup routine, walked into the living area and stared at the TV. My mascara wand still in hand. It was a ChristianMingle.com commercial. 

And the voice really said, "Find God's match for you."

This sentence is either extreme false advertising or brilliant. I've never heard of God having direct interaction with a dating website. Have you? If this company has an inside track to our maker, every married person should divorce immediately and let ChristianMingle.com "Find God's match for you." If you're dating your soul mate, dump them. Now.

And single girls, stop meeting the guys at work, the gym or the bars. Don't listen to your friends who know you better than anyone on the planet when they introduce you to the man they believe will be your perfect mate.

What are you waiting for? Do it now!

Seriously?

God must get a commission from every successful "mingle." But how do they measure it? A date? Hook up? Marriage?  This bullshit must have been around when I was married, but I didn't notice. Please, don't get me wrong, I have NO problem with online dating. There are lots of success stories. I know a few myself.  Nor do I have a problem with religion.

But let's get real. There's no divine dating intervention here. And for anyone who thinks there is, get ready for a long list of disappointments ahead.

The basics of meeting the right people boils down to one simple thing. Meet people you have things in common with. Whether it be skiing, skydiving, golf or God, go where other people who like these things too will be.

Then be yourself. Be real.

Love to the single girls,
Addison

I have never used ChristianMingle.com nor do I know anyone who has. Perhaps there is divine intervention. I have never proven it one way or the other and just use basic common sense and street smarts to come to these conclusions. Happy dating!
