I don't think it's just discomfort. Rather it's that most theologically conservative churches (typically that overlaps with political conservativeness, but not always) are set up around families. The way to get involved and meet people is to be part of the various ministries that involve families. Even ministries that aren't officially for a specific age are designed to be family friendly because it's just a fact that most people in these churches are in families or are fairly young (if single).

Also I think in the evangelical community as a whole there's less and less of an understanding that Paul said that some people are called to stay single. One of the strengths of the most Reformed church I was ever at was their confirmation that for some people, singleness was a good choice. We had a good number of lifelong single men and women at that church.[/quote]
