Lust, Dating and Singles

All Christian single men and women battle lust of the flesh from time to time. In fact, let's just make that ALL guys and gals, whether they be single men or married men, Christian or non-Christian. One single dating man pal of mine said if his girlfriend ever knew his thoughts, she would never stop slapping him! Listen, men struggle with lust, and any single man who says otherwise is just lying out of fear, manipulative motives, embarrassment or a combination of the three.

The reaction of most single women reading the above about single men may vary:

* Some may feel disgusted or discouraged that all single men lust.

* Some may be thinking their single men is not like all the rest they're dating them (um...dream on)

* Some may feel so uncomfortable discussing the single men and lust topic that they prefer to ignore it by invoking the Too Much Information (TMI) rule when the subject comes up.

* Some single Christian dating women may feel relieved because they have lust issues too.

Unfortunately, none of the above reactions will help a single gal really understand and connect with a single men, let alone help him in any way.

What Christian single men and women really need is an environment of open communication and compassionate counsel that will help him or her nip lust in the bud. the best place to do this is a single Christian group (not coed of course) that allows for open and free sharing without condemnation.
