Default Christian dating in the church rarer/harder 2 start than outside church environment?

Guys/girls, anyone found that a lot of Christian girls/guys are less open to dating a Christian that church? No matter who the person, looks aside, personality aside, and evident Godly lifestyle and character of that person not even working in favor?

At my previous church (pentecostal AOG) which I was a member for six years and after asking out a couple of girls and hearing from my mates no girls in the church would want to date anyone regardless of looks and evident Godly character and great personalities and in more or less words the answer would always be no. The same lines being used such as; i'll pray about it, They are waiting for God to send them the "One" and only date that person and marry that person. Crazy stuff... And no one was dating in the church! Full of singles... all waiting for "the one" for God to send to them ... hmm crazy stuff.. Anyone else found that being able to date people within the church is a lot different than dating people in the world!? It shouldn't be that complicated, it's quite simple really.

I have no problem being able to date non Christian girls, so easy to get a date with a non Christian girl but i could never marry a non Christian girl. This and not wanting to have sex with a girl before marriage is always a hindrance to any non Christian/Christian relationships longevity. The only reason i date non Christian girls is because Christian girls in the church just seem so unavailable or not even wanting to be good friends and if something more than friends is possible it becomes self evident and things would go from there.

I'm at a point where i only want a Christian girl an amazing beautiful woman of God who i can marry and i don't want to date non Christian girls. No offense to them but no matter how hot they may look if they're not a women of God they are just not what i want and i'm tottaly not interested!. So i feel inside that i don't want to date any non Christian girls and that i will look for/wait for the kind of Christian girl I would want to be with, but that could be a looonng time from my previous experience of Christian dating being rare and just not happening a lot of the time in church. Even in the church i'm in now on both sides of the fence its full of lots of good looking single guys and girls with no one dating.. So strange, so stupid, its not hard lol.

So now i'm stuck with the choice of not dating a non Christian girl because i know inside i will never marry them, which i would like to get married soon... and the possibilty of rejection from so many Christian girls just waiting to "hear from God" or what ever else, maybe it's just been my bad luck in the churches i've attended lol!! I would like to hear girls perspective on this and guys who've had similar circumstances!

Thanks for reading, God bless!!
