SamaritanWmn View Profile History	What do you think is a good time-line for on-line dating? Posted : 20 May, 2008 04:52 PM I'm just curious what other Christians think is a good time line on on-line dating. As far as how long do you exchange e-mails then go to chatting then exchange phone numbers. I know it probably depend on the circumstance but I remember exchanging numbers with someone who I chatted with for a week and he referred to someone he only chatted for one time and she was asking for his phone number which lead me to think, what is considered "fast" on-line. Obviously, you wouldn't make arrangements to meet with someone you just met on-line but what do you think would be a safe guide-line?? Also, keep in mind, I used to (BC days - before Christ) be addicted to on-line dating and I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. But I was the one who got excited if someone did want to meet the same day since I was SO spontaneous and all of course there was never a love connection and fortunately God was watching over me and I was never in danger but I can tell you this one man (personal trainer) trained me a couple times and we went out on a couple dates then I rec'd a phone call from his wife. Yes, guess what she was a very spiritual woman with whom I told everything to. Yes, God intervened fortunately I did have serious feelings for the guy but unfortunately I think it was the end of his marriage as it was the 3-4th time she caught him cheating. Anyway, I just thought I would share that bit of background. So since I am saved I let God guide me and use discernment but would like to hear what others have to say about the subject. He lives, Samaritan Woman. Post Reply

View Profile History	What do you think is a good time-line for on-line dating? Posted : 11 Oct, 2009 08:42 PM That is a really good question. I'm still not sure but I'll share my experience. i met this fellow online of course, adn we talked and texted for about 2 weeks before we met. now bear in mind that we had hiit off really well until we met in person. I knew as soon as he saw me he was disapointed. It was a very distressing incident but what i think it taught me is u really can't tell that much froma photo. And there are some things that only the physical presence can commuicate. Post Reply
