The fear of getting a NO from someone they will be seeing so often. Imagine if he builds up courage and walks up to a sister he had been admiring in the church, and unfortunately, the sister says: NO! I am taken, occupied, not ready now, etc.

The guy will never be able to cope with the shame, especially when he will be seeing the sister in church always.

You know, after many stories and experiences shared by different guys of how they got turned down or snubbed by some rude and manner-less ladies they cherished and wished to love and marry, guys of nowadays have learnt to keep quiet even when they cherish a lady, most responsible guys always keep that admiration to themselves, most times forever.

Not all guys can handle rejection from a lady they cherish and have fantasize a good future with, hence, many responsible guys in general have withdrew from wooing and and toasting women.

That's the sad situation right now. I know plenty guys in this shoe.

I used to feel that way before, but not anymore. It is understandable that some might feel that way, but you gotta shake it off!

What she gon do? Eat you when you see her after the "NO"?

Men, I take the "NO" and move on, so many things to focus on in this life, and besides the "YES" always drowns out all the prior "NOs".

The only thing I perceive as awkward, will be trying to talk to every single girl there, that will just be a tad too much(don't overplay your confidence).

Many guys don't have the courage to even approach a lady....This in itself can be a big problem because the Bible states a man should seek the woman/wife.

I know many of those shy guys too! No one knows what they are afraid of.

Are you kidding me? That would be like marrying the church, in fact its worse than that in my church, it would be like been sold to the church, you won't hear the last of how the church helped you in your life and God help you if the day they would be telling your story to the congregation is the day you decide to miss church, na the whole church go visit you that day. Abeg I like a private life, no vex.

Reason is we see church members as families. Same way you can't marry your sister.

I've even decided not to marry from my state cause almost everybody in my hometown is somehow related to me, i detest incest.

Everybody in ur hometown is related to u?

As much as am a devoted Christian and a worker in my church,I don't really like to marry a sister of the same church.most of them are hypocritical and may not really want to show u their real selves till after marriage.I prefer a sister I know well byond the four walls of church.Though I still prefer a godly and religious sister though being religious and having a good character are two different things....

MMJ: So, how did this made the front page?
Who among the mods did this??
Seun, call your boys to order. Kindly train them on value recognition
I believe it was because of that thread created by a gal,explaining why men don't date born-again sisters. So the Mods probably were looking for a 'rejoinder'. Just my thought. lipsrsealed

The very moment i saw this thread,couldn't just stop laughing because that was exactly what was going through my mind,but the case was too serious to take it serious.my own case is all about this girl that i love so much but her only sin was that she's my church member and a neighbour,bt she was very homely and a wife material so to say but can't just imaging myself dating a church member and even a neighbour due to my own personal policy or should i called it fantansy,but i like dis girl and i'm sure she also have the same feelings for me,bt na dis issue of church naa ni o infact the matter don tire me jare.

The reasons ar most time latent in the mind but every guy feels the same way. I'll giv d few I can anyway.
If its a dedicated sister...
1. cos u wont be comfortable: she might be too holy to touch the way u wld do "others".
2. U knw the idea of "blow jobs" or "doggie style" etc might be out of the question.
3. U knw dt the church (pastors and reverends) might become the refree, supervisor, linesman... Probably manager of the marriage.#closeWatch
4. If u ar a guy who takes a "bottle" once in a while, a "stick", or a "puff". U knw dat closely watching bride mite be a bad idea ...to add a congregation?
5. It mite appear lyk u had it as ur mission when joining the church.
6. It mite also appear lyk u've been sexually attracted to her. Hence, u ve been "fornicating wit d eyes" for a long time.
7. Gossips... Other haters might av spoilt tins b4 u even start.
I cld add some more...

Bt things wld be easier if its a church with very large congregation, and at least one of u isn't a well known member.

u never mean business I swear. Letting trivial issues like neighbour, church member, effect ur choice of life partner is very imature.

swhiss: A lot of people marry outside their church and they fail to realise how wrong that is....The apostle paul admonishes christains to ''marry only in the Lord'' [1corinthians 7:39, 11:11]

so with the sound reasons he gave to support this, i dont think i am ready to do contrary.

Stop quoting the bible out of context.

1 Corinthians > 7.39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

Marrying from another church doesn't imply you're marrying 'outside' the Lord; for although we are many, we're still one body in Christ. Paul was giving an advise for us to marry fellow Christians so that we won't be yoked with unbelievers.

Then if it is the issue of her being a neighbour and church member that is your problem,then you are not really ready yet to settle down. Which one is personal policy? You better wake up oh.
