Originally from Houston, TX, but moved to the Midwest to attend the University of Iowa, where I got a degree in Political Science. Followed that up with masters degree from KU. Enjoy keeping up with the happenings in Lawrence and KC.

A copy of what I posted on Eharmony Advice:
One woman already responded that she did not date within a group because she did not want to see that person again if it did not work out and that she was sick of guys joining groups just to hit upon women. Some decent viewpoints ...
Just wanted to toss this out to the ladies preferrably ... would you consider dating a guy within a Christian singles group? Or do you see those groups primarily for fellowship only? If open to dating, is there a length of time you want the guy to know you or be friends with you first?
I am in a singles group in the Washington, DC area (it could also be applicable to groups in the KC area). While my primary purpose in that group is to fellowship with Christians or seekers in their 30s to 40s and make some quality male friends, I admittedly would not rule out pursuing a quality woman within that group.
Problem is .. it seems that most Christian women are not even interested in dating or marriage anymore. I can understand them not wanting to date or flirt with guys that make them uncomfortable. But it seems that they do this even to normal guys. That is pretty much why I have written off the possibilities of dating within such groups, and instead have concentrated on the world of online dating.

I have already heard from some people I find out it ironic that men and women want to take their time within a group setting to build friendships and get to know someone before dating, yet at the same time, throw caution to the wind date online. Should it be the other way around? Groups are healthier in the long run, I figure. Gotta love human dynamics.
I am heading back to the KC area December 25 to 28. I cannot wait to have Jack Stack BBQ and Boulevard Beer -- as well as venture to Lawrence for some Free State Brewery. I miss the slower and laid back pace of the KC area. KC is a big city, but feels like a small town in comparison to Washington, DC. Although gone for three months, you never appreciate what you had until you have been gone.
