ITV Tonight: Looking For Love – A Review

ITV Tonight: Looking For Love – A Review

hansfeez297692October 31, 2013December 7, 2022

For the last 13 years since we launched Christian Connection, I have hoped that one day a TV programme about Internet dating would come along which is genuinely well informed, probing and helpful. But I ended up watching ‘ITV Tonight: Looking for Love’ with a mixture of frustration and resignation. Apparently the twittersphere agreed with me.

I Was Wondering… Who You’re Talking To

I Was Wondering… Who You’re Talking To

valliesear2October 29, 2013

OK, let’s get to down to business. It’s safe to assume you’re here because you don’t want to fly solo any more. You’re proactive, not just waiting for God to drop the perfect partner into the seat next to you on Sunday.

You’ve prayed (yes of course it’s praying if you say amen after whinging for an hour about still being single… right?), you might have fasted, you may even have enlisted a network of supportive cheerleaders (ideally not sporting …

carmontheusOctober 22, 2013December 7, 2022

Over 100 people travelled to Bedford to share their experiences and stories of being single in church and their dreams for the future.

“Thank you to Jacqueline and all the Bedford singles team that organised the day, it really did help me to understand so much more

BBC Radio 4 Sunday Programme – Survey On Loneliness

A new survey on loneliness suggests that religious people may be more likely to be lonely than those without a faith. Trevor Barnes considers whether the church’s focus on the family can alienate those who live alone.

Dr David Pullinger was interviewed by Trevor Barnes about his findings.

Why I Dumped ‘The Rules’

Why I Dumped ‘The Rules’

alisahepp085060October 15, 2013

  • Woman, thou shalt not meet him halfway.
  • Thou shalt not go Dutch on dates.

‘I’m so excited to meet him at last, HopefulGirl. We’ve been chatting online for a while, and he’s such a lovely Christian man! He’s invited me to his place for dinner.’

My blood ran cold at her words, but this lady couldn’t see the problem. She thought this chap could be the answer to her dreams. I was worried he might turn out to be the stuff of nightmares.

Now, I don’t wish to put anyone off internet dating – …

5 Ways To Fight Fear & Put The Fun Back Into Dating!

auroraa0183October 1, 2013December 7, 2022

Last month’s blog ‘To pursue or not to pursue’, which argued fear of rejection often stops men from pursuing women generated plenty of discussion.

In the comments a few of you asked if women should pursue men. You’ll be pleased to know you can do whatever you like and don’t need my permission! As for seeking God’s permission, the Bible wasn’t written as a guide to dating, but it’s true Ruth chased Boaz. And God didn’t seem to mind that….or …
