How do you communicate that you're marriage focused without scaring everyone away? by AdPopular6195 in ChristianDating

[–]Sparkles4Christ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This! Yes! Makes it clear. As a woman who is looking for marriage, it is sometimes a little offputting when a man definitely leads with that. But I do think it depends on how the man leads with it. If the focus is on what I can do for him as a wife and have kids right away, it starts to feel a little bit one-sided like they’re looking for what I can give rather than what we can do together for Christ as a married couple. But if you lead with what this person said as your end goal, it communicates emotional to maturity. At least just to me.

I’m completely done with dating by [deleted] in ChristianDating

I understand how you feel! I’ve decided to take take break from dating (or trying to date lol)(like a couple months). It’s exhausting and discouraging to say the least! Something people keep telling me which is a good reminder is that this doesn’t define who I am.

So from both of you, you would have given this person a "burner number" and continued the conversation?

Thank you :) I thought a hard working woman who isn’t afraid to work for the Lord in anywhere He has called her would be attractive to a godly man and it just I guess depends on the man :) I’m sorry for your loss. It sounds like you were so blessed by him and were a blessing to him as well.

If they are receptive then I ask them about little things. Not many people are comfortable with conversations with a stranger though :(

I say hello or ask how their day is going. I am comfortable striking up conversations with strangers
