I was hanging out with some friends this weekend, when one of their moms, upon meeting me, said (asked?), "can I call you cute?" I'm not really sure what to say to that. I think I went with the Tom Cruise approach: I just laughed. My friend seemed a little embarrassed, and immediately slipped in a "sorry about that." But honestly, that's okay. At least somebody is calling me cute. Actually, I seem to get this on a fairly common basis from moms. Apparently, I am really attractive to women in their mid-life. Maybe I've found myself in a modern day version of The Graduate. Or maybe not. Hopefully not.
On a similar note, I have a profile up on Match again, and in it I clearly say that I am only looking for serious Christians. I mean, it's in my frickin' headline, even! Somehow, girls just don't get it, despite how explicit I am. Today I get a wink from a girl, and I read her profile, only to discover that she was raised Catholic, but hasn't been to church in 4 years. Sorry, but that's not taking God seriously. And I'm not going to date a girl who just goes to church for or because of me. It's only going to work if we both go to church for God, and share that common approach to life. Somehow these girls just don't get it. I suppose they think that God isn't important to them, so this really isn't important to me (which, of course, doesn't make any sense, because in my profile I specifically state that God is central to my life). Alas, more attention from girls that do not interest me. There seems to be a lot of that these days. But the ones I want attention from are nowhere to be found.

I think you're taking the wrong approach here. Dates are dates. You don't actually have to end up in a relationship with the girl, but it's certainly fun to go out with and meet new people. There's a reason Catholic girls don't go to church: they're too busy running around Mardi Gras flashing everybody. But they will settle down. And maybe they will appreciate better your church's approach: less guilt and less repentance. And maybe they will start going to church for you, and find God and begin going for Him. The way I look at it, you have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
As for the hot moms, if they're single, they're fair game. So long as you fit the half-your-age-plus-seven rule.
Nice try! I'm not a big fan of "missionary dating," though. I'm not sure I want the girls who were flashing everybody at Mardi Gras.
