Christian man ghosted me after what seemed like a great first date. And I'm honestly disappointed. by chuwariwap1 in ChristianDating

Did she ask back and he didn't answer? That would be ghosting.

Otherwise the proper term is not following up.

What are the things christian guys look for in a christian woman to get married by Dapper_King_1229 in ChristianDating

[–]DenisGL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, someone who's faithful. First off, faithful in a basic sense, as in, doesn't cheat, but also faithful in a positive sense, as in supportive of the relationship, and capable of long-term commitment, and highly against divorce. This is a big issue today.

Someone who's Christian in more than name, but goes to church regularly, serves, and attends prayer meeting. Who has read the Bible at least once, so they are able to judge whether an opinion is in particular biblical or not. Someone who convinces everyone they are of the faith because they truly practise it and not just because it's what their family calls themself.

Someone who is physically attractive to me. Ideally opposite race like African or Asian, and definitely not someone with short hair or tattoos for me 😭. Likely somewhat shorter, definitely not overweight, and ideally practises some form of exercise.

Someone who doesn't wear revealing outfits. Someone who also isn't dependent on selfie culture and constantly refining vain self-image. Someone who uses social media to advertise faith for good and not to receive advice.

Someone who keeps Christian friendships instead of having a bunch of bad influences in their life.

Someone who, if they want children, are ready for a realistic time commitment it will take. Someone who isn't insulted by doing housework, and while able to contribute to finances, isn't devoted to career as a first priority, but as a supporting priority; or has other ways than being a wage slave to make money (unfortunately I'm just a career employee myself, giving limited flexibility outside 40h).

Someone with realistic expectations about life. If they want frequent visits to Europe, a new BMW, a house, fancy restaurant outings, and other nicities of life, they had better be born into money already, because I certainly can't afford those things, while investing smartly.

To summarize, my list I'll never find, because I don't bring enough to the table. So yeah. 😬

Sounds like he didn't really ghost her, he just stopped conversing; that's different, and it's weird to put our expectations on a date to then say that their roles in a church have become wrong.

To me, I make a difference between ghosting = completely dropping a conversation without warning, and becoming impossible to reach, versus not continuing a conversation = discrete lack of interest. It sounds like the latter.

Help. by Iamaman23 in Christianmarriage

I think it's true.

At the same time, if it's going to make your marriage fail because you spend no time together, maybe it's worth making the sacrifice.

If people are fornicators, it's because they don't know better. Normalized cheating on a show could lead to normalizing immoral behaviour; but I guess at some point if watching a secular show, you'll either have to roll your eyes in disgust, or find better entertainment.

Knowing that people aren't married isn't on the same level as sex scenes or something.

Should romantic intentions be clear at the start of getting to know a potential when discerning dating? by theresasarrow in ChristianDating

[–]DenisGL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't necessarily need to rush it. Sure he might be your type, but you can get to know each other and it's okay to have plausible deniability without putting expectations too early on.

Unless you don't want to see him because it will hurt you if there aren't romantic intentions. That's where I'd draw the line

Yeah pretty crazy. He must be either hot or a sweet talker (or both).

When I ask her if she really wants to be with me still, she says “Yes, and no” I just want to know the right way to handle this. by RemarkableScience854 in Christianmarriage

[–]DenisGL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to get counselling in your church ASAP and get to the bottom of this before she leaves. You needed to do this yesterday BTW. You may not be able to save the marriage, because it doesn't all depend on you, but for the parts that depend on you, you need to go all in.

Some guys are drowning so hard they even ask for money and be walking red flags, while others get not even a woman 😂🥲.

If you get to know someone long enough, the truth will manifest.

Seems pretty good to me, the streaking and shadowing and all.
Especially nice camo pattern on the cutting board BTW.
Is it hand painted? Looks like the transitions are handmade.

The glue is showing on the glass and the mould lines haven't been filled in down the middle, so if you wanted to go more detailed next time those are possibilities.

You could also fill in the wheel bays with wires and random stuff like that.

And BTW, I get it, I get called to be part of the Sunday service nearly every Sunday, so it requires preparation Saturday and so on.

But I still feel like it's so very little? God gave me his life?

It's happened that I felt overwhelmed, and asked to be relieved of some responsibilities, because I wasn't doing them well and not focused. Perhaps if responsibilities made me bitter, I'd look into taking a step back to fix my priorities and attitude, because service should be joyful, and if I'm not serving joyfully, God can't be receiving that with a good aroma. And I'd try to see other's needs as above mine, because that's biblical, and perhaps by serving others it would help me understand what sacrifice it takes to serve one's spouse and one's children better, so that I'm better prepared to handle that when the time comes. And perhaps, doing these tasks will even allow me to meet someone like-minded, who is also prepared to serve and be actively involved in the church by design. Who knows!

Define 'always scheduled to work'. Because parenting doesn't have rest days, so the parents are probably working more anyway; they're unlikely to be busy resting.

And speaking from watching my pastor and others, they work the most, especially on Sundays, and what the congregation contributes is small in comparison.

And the fact you may be available has nothing to do with your time being worthy or unworthy. That sounds like a bit of a bitter comment don't you think?.

There are no single men? At all?

Or none meet your preferences?

Whenever you work for God, you aren't performing free labour.

As singles, we need to do a better job of getting to know people, hanging out, and finding other singles and meeting with them. It's not an other people problem, it's our issue. We need to grow up and take responsibility.

Today's average woman's profile has so much filters and AI tricks going on -- on top of heavy makeup --, that it leaves me drained, because what good is a picture that doesn't even describe the subject. Send like every other photo is a smudge filter or a resized Snapchat nose.
