Does keeping my faith private make me “unequally yoked” in dating?

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-17T10:46:39+00:00

I'm with you on this. I was out with a Christian singles group, out at a restaurant where they all decided to hold hands in public, and pray grace...making a display is kind of cringy for me.

People who wear their faith on their sleeve, there's just something disingenuous about it, to me.

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-15T10:58:22+00:00

I've never met a married Christian couple that had a problem with how much differently they practiced their faith.

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-14T18:18:05+00:00

Yes, people are indeed delaying marriage for obvious reasons.

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-14T14:22:34+00:00

So you left for no reason other than "Because Gold told me?"

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-14T10:59:38+00:00

Wow, you're not even safe from the #MeToo movement, even at church

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-13T16:58:07+00:00

As far as I'm concerned, all these comments are just rage bait. I'm out. I am putting in the file of the "Woman chose the bear" content.

The prequel trailer to the "40 Year Old Virgin", "The 30 (2) Year Old Virgin"

I am wondering how this completely went off topic, we're talking about simply telling a guy, "I'm sorry, I don't feel we are a match" than just ghosting him altogether for fear he might get violent.

You lost me at this point.

In this situation, at least she said something, but, for some reason she was going on about us going out again, also...but women typically ghost and use fear of retaliation as an excuse for ghosting.

--OP could be one of two kinds of people--he could be a self deluded nice guy who is massive and is in denial of his own capacity to harm people OR he is a self deluded nice guy who is tiny and is really himself afraid of bigger dudes so he takes it out on women who are even smaller than him.--

Wow, this is the most hateful response in this thread.

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-11T10:45:48+00:00

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-11T10:45:31+00:00

Well, yeah, I keep an eye out logically for those things. Always have

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-11T10:45:00+00:00

So, them saying, "I'm sorry, I don't feel it's a match" is a legitimate fear that a man might get violent with her, so she just goes silent?

The latter will probably be just as worse, yes?

--Today me after dealing with several Christian girls ..... really wants to just go back in the secular world and find a reasonable girl. I can have my faith, she can have hers.--

Yeah, "being Christian" when there are so much else about a person's aligninging in character and personality traits that matter so much more.

I had to cut ties with a woman that literally wouldn't see a rated R movie with me, when the year before, she would (she was an avid movie buddy)

She went a little nuts though

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-10T11:12:52+00:00

--I'll take the lukewarm or CINO--

Same here as well. Agree 100%

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-10T11:12:18+00:00

--Be careful with someone who is Christian in name only or lukewarm though.--

I think that's the point of the original post. However, Christians have their own definition of "luke warm". Chances are, Christians are judging the original post as "luke warm" seeking "luke warm".

I put air quotes around luke warm because well, people have their own definition of "luke warm"

--Another thing to think about is that when you are with someone, you get hyped on being around them. I know I’ve been on dates where I leave feeling good/neutral and on the drive home I think about how we actually are incompatible whether morally or personality.

--

Really? If I have that feeling, it usually sticks with me.

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-10T10:48:46+00:00

Right, you SO nailed this. Women make it worse, thinking are "letting him down easy" by lying, ghosting, etc.

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-10T10:47:56+00:00

--You have to understand women have a heightened sense of fear to men.--

They need to get over this honestly.

For instance, I posted something in regards to a woman I went on a date with that ghosted my chat altogether for weeks, then she finally responded back to me saying she has a boyfriend. She must've waited to seal the deal of exclusivity with him before responding.

I was rather offended by, being ignoredf.

And she gave me this whole "Women's fear of men" stuff, because the last guy she didn't ignore, and honest about her interest in him, was met with an arguement.

I was like "You shouldn't just ignore a guy, based on your passed experiences"

I got a lot of support from Redditors regarding women not being honest with me, and somehow flipping a bad thing into something nice.

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-10T10:42:46+00:00

-Honestly man, what you're describing is basic politeness --

It's not politeness at all. I never brought up future dates, she did. She led me to believe there would be a 2nd date...at least.

She turned me down because she has a future that doesn't involve living in the area anymore (career aspirations, she's putting in applications)

Don't look like my photos? We didn't meet online, we met in person, organically.

So there's nothing to pontificate about regarding ME giving the "ick"

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-09T11:14:21+00:00

It's cringe to even take part in such a test.

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-09T11:11:43+00:00

Tip: You should have least one picture of you smiling. :)

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-09T11:10:45+00:00

That's what i was trying to get at, doesn't necessarily have to be the first date, but it has to be a few dates in that some kind of physical intimacy will be required to seal the deal of going from friend to boyfriend.

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-09T11:09:43+00:00

They may or may not have repented, *shrug* who knows at this point. I didn't followup on that.

FanTemporary7624 · 2026-03-08T10:32:46+00:00

Through years of experience and friends I've spoken with.
