now that i've essentially given up on hookups, according to my recent post, but i'm not committed to full celibacy and i don't know what i could have in common enough with any puthujjanas to start dating them i wondered if there was anything like a buddhist dating site. i didn't actually really wonder that more of a joke but btw is there anything like that
anyway this thread is supposed to be a joke but also there could be a good discussion here

Re: how to meet buddhist singles
I think people sometimes meet at meditation groups - but you probably shouldn't go there with that kind of single minded purpose...but there are people out there around your age in the same boat (obviously).Sovatthika wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2017 10:58 pm now that i've essentially given up on hookups, according to my recent post, but i'm not committed to full celibacy and i don't know what i could have in common enough with any puthujjanas to start dating them i wondered if there was anything like a buddhist dating site. i didn't actually really wonder that more of a joke but btw is there anything like that

Perhaps we should have a separate sub-index for singles to mingle.

Lots of single buddhists in thailand....hard to meet a single who is not buddhist. In thailand the christians are wondering how to meet single christians.

Re: how to meet buddhist singles
Just use a dating website and filter by religion or search for keyword Buddhist. As long as you're in a large enough city there is almost definitely other meditators/Buddhists about.

I don't see anything wrong with match.com even. Its got a ton of people on there, I am sure you can specify your religious interests there. I met my wife there

Whenever you feel lonely, just meditate to end that desire!
Also, I would not hunt for relationships. In my experience, any relationship that I have forced ultimately crumbles. Desire has no use.
My most succesful romantic relationships happened out of spontaneity!

Re: how to meet buddhist singles
Try walking in the opposite direction: practice celibacy in body and mind, and women seem to come to YOU. It sucks but this is how it happened for me, the last two times.
To the Buddha-refuge i go; to the Dhamma-refuge i go; to the Sangha-refuge i go.

This is all Mara's trick I suppose.

Re: how to meet buddhist singles
if i'm going to be rid of lust then it has to be done the right way
currently i am not ready just to let it go i don't think but aspects of it i really detest
aspects of it are extremely stressful

Re: how to meet buddhist singles
In a similar vein, when I first started going to a Thai Wat, I already had a Thai girlfriend, but she was in another country. I went to learn more about Thai culture and language, but got sucked into the Dhamma...
The fact that I was interested in Dhamma, didn't smoke, drink, etc, and wasn't hitting on anyone (since I had a remote relationship) was then quite a powerful magnet...
