I visited a church I liked today. It was small (20 people?). It was extremely informal (Q & A following the sermon!). Meditation stations were part of worship. A sweet family took me out to dinner after the service. I want to go back. But I am left with that obnoxiously vague question that more traditionally follows a first date than a church visit... "Yeah, it went well, but is this 'The One'?"
I've never assimilated into a church family without a partner in the process. It's so much easier and less awkward that way. Who can I verbally process today's experience with? No one. I don't know if I can do this alone. Period. It makes me sad. I'm hoping for a loophole.

It is SO much harder to do church alone! But if someone already took you to dinner, that seems a good sign that you can get connected while single! I chose my church (I call it mine, even though I mosey in about once a month) because people seemed smart there and they care about the city they're in. I don't hate going there or roll my eyes or feel embarrassed to be a Christian. Hang in there!
