This is an interesting thread! I wish I had seen it earlier.

I don't really agree with everything the author of the article says. I don't think you can just leave politics out and expect things to go well. If you just want a quick date, sure, but if you'd like to develop a friendship, you're going to need to actually agree on some things :-)

And trust me, I know how hard it is... I'm a single guy... living in San Francisco :-p

As others have said, the best thing to do is to go places where like minded people will go. (I agree that church is a great place to meet people. But, I'd caution people that if you do that just to meet people, the women will see right through you. I go because I really want to be there, and a great bonus is that I do meet women who are grounded in faith and conservative.)

Still, it's hard in places like the SF Bay area. I feel like a lot of Gen X/Y people (including me) here are sometimes confused about how to date and how it should work. We do less of it than we would all like because no one knows what to expect, and you honestly never know what will offend someone, even in conservative/Christian circles. I have even run into a few women who were offended when I opened a door for them... Is it really too much to ask to let a guy do that now and then? :-)
