How do these people find me???

So sorry I didn't post yesterday. I was coloring. Yes, I color in grad school. The professonal term is render, but essentially it is coloring and it took me the whole day to do two drawings. When I was a kid I could whip out the coloring book pages in a few minutes (I was not a very precise color-er and am still not). Anyway, I got home from the studio today and saw my mail a waiting me. In it was a small white envelope with the words "Are you a Christian Single?" emblazoned on the front. "No, I am not," I answer politely. Yes I am single, but I'd say I'm more agnostic than Christian. Anyway out of curiosity I opened it and found a profile for myself to fill out along with testimony that went something like..."The lord led me to singlesplus dating service and it is his will that will find someone for me." Personally I've found it takes more than God to find a date, but maybe I'm not praying hard enough. I also don't understand how the single trait of being Christian is all people are looking for. I mean does the exclusive factor that being Christian means we're going to be soul mates? I'm more interested in what your favorite color is or if you think exercising is important or a spectator sport. I also find myself wondering how the whole world knows I'm single. Do I have an arrow following me around pointing at me saying "Look Here She Needs Help in the Dating Department!" Obviously only the dating services see this invisible sign and not the menfolk. I mean on facebook I get ads for finding the perfect Christian, Asian, and overweight mate (those are all seperate, not together). I think I'm sending the wrong message somwhere, as I'm not Christian, Asian, or THAT overweight (not that I'm opposed to any of the former, it's just I'm not exclusively searching in these qualifiers). Where are the are you looking for Brad Pitt look alike ads or the sweet will treat you like a princess boy ads? I'm so over this. Christian Singles ad in the trash. Hiding out from plight of being single because I didn't follow God's advice...
