why be deceptive?
Posted : 27 Dec, 2013 05:01 PM

Why would someone that claims to be an Evangelic Christian not clearly state that and his expectations in his profile? I dated a gent for nine months who broke things off with me because he said he needed to be an Evangelic Christian. This gent is over 45, divorced (acceptable reason) and a father. He has been a Christian for many years. We talked about the importance of his faith many times as he was concerned over mine (I am not as far along in my journey but getting there). What is odd is that he criticized me saying he never say me pray or read the bible but I only saw him read the bible a couple of times and he never invited me to participate. And I never saw him pray. He doesn't belong to a faith community and I can't say I saw him talk to anyone about God. I find it very confusing and deceptive. I'm not dating to date, I am looking for a husband. Why tell me you love me if you are watching and testing me rather than asking me to join you. I have a hard time seeing his actions as Christian. I have no issue with putting God first (as it should be) but at the dispense of another?

Doug,



I opened this account mainly to access the forums as I wanted some perspective from the Christian community. I just came out of a relationship so I am not interested in dating at this point hence the lack of information. I usually wait no less than 6 months and the last 2 times I waited over a year each before entertaining even a date. No one should be a rebound. Anyone who has contacted me (and that has been 2 people), I have responded in kind, answered questions and explained my situation. Unlike other dating sites I do not see a way to hide my profile.



I have only used one Christian dating site in the past and that was Christian Mingle. Had no luck there. I moved over to Match.com and eHarmony simply because there were move available singles in my area.

In response to your response to me... I understand that you have good motives. But many people cannot stand to be alone or fear the stigma of not being seen as part of a couple. These people will stick with someone even if they know that they are wasting the other person's time but not tell that person for fear of rejection. We all have our issues to deal with, some more then others. There maybe many reasons for how this last relationship went. Bottom line is that the only person who can answer your question as to "why" is this fellow. Provided he has the honesty with himself to share the answer with you. May you find the blessings in every situation. r
