onerussian View Profile History	Dating has little to do with christianity? Posted : 25 Aug, 2014 10:13 AM Hello everyone. Just wanted to know your oinion. I found it extremely complicated to folllow Christian values in dating. I mean being a Christian means to own integrity,to be sincere and honest. But when you are like this with the opposite sex they never appreciate you. I was open and sincere, expressed my interest and finally found that men start taking you for granted. To keep their interest you have to make them hunt you, make them wait, guess, feel uncertain etc. We all adult people here and know how it works but for God's sake in which way all this can match out Christian values? I am talking about the initial period of relations. Why we want to be Christians but not about dating? Post Reply

onerussian View Profile History	Dating has little to do with christianity? Posted : 28 Aug, 2014 11:30 AM hmm...made a mistake again with the word "seriously" Sorry, folks. And if you don't mind one more observation which contributes to my initial post:some think that God is there to help them to accomplish their personal life at the expense of others. One man told me he was looking for God's will in his search for a life partner. At the same time he was not ready for relationship at all (recently divorced person). He knew he was not ready but he was still active on this website. To me God's will for him was to go and work on his issues and not to mislead women about his intentions. Summary: when dating some very sincere christians act as if God did care for them only, not for the other party as well. Naive and selfish and again has nothing to do with Christianity::waving: Post Reply

Posted : 29 Aug, 2014 11:00 AM Ya know... being single can be difficult, I know that I've had my battles and am certain many others have too. Now going going to the date sites and misleading people or expecting them to heal you or fill the emptiness is certainly not the best approach. The alone time would be better served by getting involved in some church activities, studies, some form service to others in the Lord. Sometimes the best medicine is putting others before yourself in service and trusting God will bring you through the tough times... I've been divorced now 7 years n saved for 5 of these years. In those 7 years I've experienced life as low as I've ever been to the greatest joy I've ever known and all points inbetween and in all these times and places God is there communicating through scripture or in the form of a friend or even by intervention of a stranger with an encouraging word. So being here (just my opinion) is not such a bad thing, it's a way to have some social interaction and make friends... but don't abuse the privilege on the site, just be truthful and have integrity Post Reply
View Profile History	Dating has little to do with christianity? Posted : 26 Sep, 2014 03:39 AM My take on this one my friend is that, it doesn't reflect true Christianity by playing hide and seek. Anyone who plays with other people's feelings make me sick and those silly guys they have a luck of finding innocent women and prey on them. Women take time to know the guy and pray without ceasing for God's guidance. The bottom line here is that not every one who says he/she is a Christian is a real or true disciple of Jesus. When you meet a true friend you won't even play hide and seek like kids. Mean what you say because for me if you say 'NO' I'll respect your stand and YES is yes. Post Reply
View Profile History	Dating has little to do with christianity? Posted : 1 Oct, 2014 10:52 AM You must pray very much while you are interesting in someone. I watched an interesting video last time. A girl was getting close to a guy(as friends) and was wondering if it could work. She prayed saying that if he was the one to make things move if not to protect her feelings and her heart. The problem,sometimes is that we are interested with someone we make things out ourselves and when it's a mess we ask God why?? We must depend on God. We must seek for God's will. We must let God, He doesn't need our help. He will bring the one and then we can date someone knowing where it will bring, with the assurance that it will not end with a heartache :) To make it short don't date unless you're sure it 's God's will.

Posted : 22 Oct, 2014 03:32 PM From my point of view your dating the wrong guys if they don't apperate you.I think one of the cruelest things a women can do to a man is to make a man feel uncertain,always wondering and I understand why they do it...To get what they want that is why I say you are dating the wrong men.If I had to guess I would first say they have no Love for God 2nd if they know God they should be open and honest.The Father showed me something about marriage.I asked if if two people say they Love each other and get married then 20 years later cant stand each other was it really Love?Because His Love isn't like that.He told me that it was human Love and it Has its limitations,but the Love of Christ endured through it all and it will never stop.I thought that was interesting.I also wondered if a man and women could really get along because their always seems to be troubles in a relationship,and what I have realized is that we all are looking for a spouse before the Fall.When everything was perfect and their was only man,women,and God.Everything was in peace and tranquility.But then the Fall happened and everything got all messed up.Satan was now on the seen man and women became selfishish and correcpt,But I believe because of the resurrection of Christ he brought back what Adam lost in the fall and I believe that if two are striving to become more Christ like they can get back to the garden before the fall.The head of the women is man and the head of the man is Christ and the head of Christ is God and if the man loves God and keeps Him first he will Love His wife and the wife will have respect for her man.Anything other then that,in my opinion,will not work.Agape,in Christ,Gil.
