online dating is for pathetic peoplePosted : 21 Sep, 2007 08:28 PMI want to hear your opinion about this topic , it's not to defend my presence on this site but to prove that we're not pathetic. One of my friends who learned that I'm into this activity said that it's for pathetic people. Any comment? |

online dating is for pathetic peoplePosted : 22 Sep, 2007 08:36 AMLOL! Well.. it is TRUE there are some pathetic people doing the online dating thing... 'course there are pathetic people going to bars, looking for a date in Walmart, and that are already married.. so in a sense.. your friend might be right. My mother has had some reservations about this whole scene as well. The first time I met someone face to face who I had communicated with through the internet, she told my sister "She is in a restaurant with a man she doesn't know!!" My sister pointed out that that is what usually happens in dating...and asked if mom would be more comfortable had I met him in a bar as opposed to a Christian web site!!! On-line dating is still relatively new... and in general people are uncomfortable with "new"... especially if they don't understand it. If a person uses wisdom and discernment, and doesn't go into the experience expecting to find their soul mate with in the first couple days, weeks or even months... this can be a great way to meet and enjoy people... along with an opportunity to add to your "must have's" or "won't put up with's" on that important list for the qualities you are looking for in a future mate. Also....being judgemental of another persons life choices (as long as they aren't completely immoral)... is.. well.. for pathetic people.. :D... Just my thoughts... |

online dating is for pathetic peoplePosted : 27 Sep, 2007 09:17 PMSeek and ye shall find. If you are looking for pathetic you will find pathetic. Focus on the type of man you would like the Lord to send your way and that's what you will find. A local pastor recently said, "Every thought is a prayer to God." I never thought of it that way but if that's true.... I really need to start refining my thoughts. |

online dating is for pathetic peoplePosted : 15 Nov, 2007 12:15 PMThe Lord will use different means of bringing people together. He may use the workplace, church or other groups, friends, relatives, etc. He can use online Christian singles websites. I've known people who have met mates through these sites. The trick is not to put limits on the Lord such as they have to be a certain height or can't be overweight or that they can only be a certain race or they can't be divorced or have kids. I have found that even Christians can have some unrealistic expectations. Who knows that person that may resemble a toad can be a prince in disguise. |

online dating is for pathetic peoplePosted : 8 Jun, 2008 02:17 PMJesus didn't come to save those who did not need a physician. He came to save needy people like us from the wrath of God and give us eternal life. All people are in a pathetic position in God's eyes. We need to see just how pathetic we are. |

online dating is for pathetic peoplePosted : 14 Jun, 2008 08:35 PMI disagree with your friend's comment, although she has the right to express it. I do feel you have to be careful but I have already met some interesting people who I wouldn't have had the pleasure of meeting, otherwise. The first step in any relationship is getting to know a person. I feel people in general are more inclined to be honest behind the scenes then face to face when meeting someone for the first time. I feel it also allows people to interact with others of similar interests without seeking it out. |
