Synopsis

A Christian woman finds herself suddenly single at 35. She's heard rumours about the lack of marriageable men in the church, but she's convinced her Mr Right is out there somewhere. She just has to find him. So begins HopefulGirl's mission to find 'The One' - with the help of Christian dating websites, church singles events and some well-meaning pals. Join HopefulGirl on her journey through the Christian singles scene, during which she wonders: can 'like' turn into 'love'? Is marrying a non-Christian an option when single women massively outnumber single men in the church? And what should you do when your biological clock is ticking, but you're not clicking with the men you meet? Along with the way, HopefulGirl encounters TinyMan, PilotMan, BeardyMan, TechiMan, HaughtyMan, ShyMan, CountryMan and a host of other colourful characters. But are any of them her Mr Right... and will HopefulGirl get her happy ending? Would Like To Meet is based on the popular column in Woman Alive magazine.

About this title

Review:

From Woman Alive Readers of Woman Alive have been following HopefulGirl's journey for more than three years and it's become one of the most popular features in the magazine. Singles have identified with her story and married readers have taken up her cause, offered advice and shared their own stories of how they met their man. We've laughed, booed, cheered and winced over some of her encounters, and everyone is desperate for a happy ending for our heroine. But alongside all the fun, HopefulGirl has provided a real insight into the Christian dating scene and the challenges facing single Christian women searching for love. Amid a host of colourful characters including PilotMan, NastyMan and CrewCutMan, plus the ever helpful TopBro, she highlights the problems of an imbalance of the sexes in our churches, of unrealistic expectations, and unhelpful comments and matchmaking from well-meaning friends and church members. This is a warm, witty and engaging story, which tackles a major issue for many women (and men) in our churches today. Reviewed by Jackie Harris, Editor, Woman Alive
