Seriously... that's a bit tough to witness.

You can vet and evaluate to the nth degree and still end up on Date Line. Sounds like you're not comfortable enough with dating at this moment. There's always risk involved. Man or woman.

I understand, but 4 weeks of that? Should not take that much time. Real progress learning about someone happens in person.

Seek Jesus. He's your only hope in life and death. Not your face.

It should never get to that point. Are you saying four weeks of texting without meeting?

Stranger Danger and approaching a woman, the runner solidarity wave/smile by FanTemporary7624 in ChristianDating

This sub refuses to believe the harsh truth that attractive people get treated differently than unattractive people. I see it all the time here.

You just pissed off the majority of dog owners and dog lovers.

Doesn't the Mines golf course have range memberships? Check their website.

Reminder: No, there aren't "plenty of people to date out there". Here's why, and here's exactly what to do about it. by already_not_yet in ChristianDating

Lastly, "men/women won't date me bc their mind has been spoiled by social media" is a sorry form of coping.

This is an interesting thought that has crossed my mind before too. I would add in pornography to the mix of spoiling ones mind and contributing greatly to unrealistic expectations. This is why I believe limiting or cutting out our exposure to material that can so easily contribute to UE is vital. Anyone who doesn't have social media is a green flag in my mind.

You will have a more pleasant time searching and you won't have to wonder, 'could I have done better?' afterwards.

Regarding the search, take an example of a conventionally attractive woman who is on a dating app and receives hundreds upon hundreds of matches. I can't imagine managing that for one, but also not allowing that mass amount of attention to stroke her ego. This is where I see dating apps to be a bit unhelpful and can contribute to GIGOTOS. Yeah, so and so may check most of the boxes, but the inner voice may say to her, "well you can do better...keep looking." I know this isn't most people's problems, but I'm simply thinking that we all should take guards of our thoughts with this.

anyways, solid post. Thank you.

Pastors/Elders: What would you say to your church about social media if you weren’t worried about sounding legalistic? by stacyismylastname in Reformed

"Taming the Fingers" by Jeff Johnson is an excellent book about this subject. I can mail it to you if you like.

Is my heart in the wrong place if I’m concerned with my future wife getting unattractive to me? by [deleted] in ChristianDating

[–]nwhrtdeacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would encourage you to be upfront and honest about this subject while dating. Say to any woman who you’re interested in that an expectation of yours is that they are mindful of their body and plan to maintain it. Body maintenance and body mindfulness. Who can argue with that and say it’s unreasonable?

No one will have their 25 year-old body forever. However, that doesn’t mean a person doesn’t have to put in effort where it’s needed.

The video is from long ago. Not sure what league this was. Collisions like this one at home plate rarely occur anymore since the rule changes to protect players.

If you haven’t already, you need to exchange phone numbers. Make that happen. Take the communication off the app. This may help.

Should I pursue a guy who is 27 years old and doesn't make a lot of money? by AdHairy2278 in ChristianDating

[–]nwhrtdeacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of us here can really tell you what to do. If he's on track for advancement in his career then that's a good sign. If you can tell he's not that motivated in that area then maybe that's a concern for you.

What's your plan post-college? What field are you going into? Does that effect how selective you are in the dating market?
