Author	Thread: How do you approach on-line dating?
Admin	How do you approach on-line dating? Posted : 7 Sep, 2007 05:10 PM I have a question. On this dating site most people talk to more than one person at a time. How can you develop a relationship with one person when you are talking to more than one person at time and how can you be sure that the person you are 'dating' is not dating someone else? I think there should be an indicator on someone's profile to indicate that they are dating exclusively, or it can turn into something like the Bachelor/Bachelorette show when you are dating multiple people at once. And how can you be honest and God-honoring with on-line relationships if this is so? We need to be honest and sincere in our interactions here with others. Post Reply
BretK View Profile History	How do you approach on-line dating? Posted : 16 Dec, 2007 11:39 AM I think some of it is how you define dating, too. I'm personally not comfortable dating via internet (strange to say on a dating site, but hear me out). I look at sites like this primarily to build friendships. Once the friendship has been established, an attraction acknowledged, and interest shared, then I would personally need to move past emails and into more "face to face" interaction. So to answer your question, I don't think talking to multiple people is at all a problem--in fact, I would encourage it. Marriage isn't something to rush into (this coming from a guy who rushed into marriage and regretted it). The single life is a gift, and an opportunity to take your time and make sure you pick the right person... not just the first friendly face that comes along. Anyway, that's my two cents =) Post Reply
View Profile History	How do you approach on-line dating? Posted : 5 Jan, 2008 10:34 PM I kinda find this conversation funny because there are few to no people that I would be interested in talking to, its not like there are droves of people I am communicating with! I know pretty quickly if I am attracted to someone. I don't think it takes that much time to find out if I am compatible with someone. I am very up front about everything in my profile. I take marriage VERY seriously. My ex divorced me with no biblical grounds. Marriage is HARD for both people, and it takes two people committed to making it work to make it work! I THOUGHT I married someone that took it as seriously as I did. He is a good man overall, don't get me wrong. But I expected more of myself than bailing out when it got tough although many many times I wanted to. He just didn't take it as seriously. :Mug: Post Reply
PeachPuff View Profile History	How do you approach on-line dating? Posted : 7 Apr, 2008 01:59 PM I agree with what you are saying Bubbles. However, in all my years of being divorced (21 yrs) what I have noticed about dating especially online dating and dating websites is that the majority of people are not honest. Honesty is the best policy, however, there are many sinners amongst us. Also, I did notice through the years that most of the MEN in the chatrooms have an insecurity problem when it comes to STRONG INDEPENDENT professional women. Those men who are insecure don't want to date seriously. In my experiences, most just want to play the field or just have a physical existence. God did not intend that for us. Like I said the majority of people will misrepresent themselves in their photos, online discussions, and then when you do meet them in person, they are totally different..as if their pictures online aged 20 yrs and 100 more lbs? What do you think?I do think that there are many honest women looking for a good man...but in my years of dating...I have noticed that many men become shy to committed relationships and NEVER want anything permanent again. Dating in general is tough..God will bring you the person He has chosen for you. We all have to be patient. Take Care and God Bless You All! Post Reply
SamaritanWmn View Profile History	How do you approach on-line dating? Posted : 20 May, 2008 07:07 PM I think all of these responses were enlightening for someone new to Christian on-line dating. I agree with being honest, if it means you lose someone because they don't think it's right for you getting to know multiple peole at the same time then you know it wasn't in the plan. Hopefully someone who is willing to go the long hall with you will be understanding or communicate how they feel instead of just chosing non-responsive approach. He lives, Samaritan Woman Post Reply
hedgedweller View Profile History	How do you approach on-line dating? Posted : 5 Jun, 2008 04:18 AM Boo = Ya!! Errrrrrrrrr, is that the brakes I'm smelling. No Its people getting burned on the internet dating site,,, Ikes. If people werent in a hurry to get married or find someone they wouldn't be so vulernable to being lied to. Time always tells the story. Yes , Talk to as many as you wish but as our dear friends on here have said just simply tell the women or the men you are talking to, you are writing many different people at this time. That should not keep you from being able to date more than one person till you find the right one. heh, We shouldnt be sexually involved anyway but we do need to get involved with them somewhat to find out if we really like them or not.

Posted : 5 Jun, 2008 04:28 AM Kiss and tell! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Of course be truthful with whom ever you talk to. BUt dont get into anyhurry. No one should be getting to hurt. why thats is silly. I have told more than one lady on hear to see whom ever and as often as you wish just so you will knoiw which person you like and get along the best with. people who have control issues and jealousy is exposed quickly on here. It is something they have a hard time dealing with not knowing if someone is talking to someone else. If your realationship gets to the place where you think it is getting time for marriage you should know already... if not then you need God to help you. I remember when i was in love with at nineteen years old , lol,,,,,, ha ha ha,,,, i couldnt wait to get home from work to call my baby or my baby couldnt wait for me to get home so she could call. We would know who it was by the time the phone rang,,,, Good ole days,,,,,:peace: o u t ! Post Reply
