no I dont think women should pursue men. Not that I havent sent the first email, because I have, but anything beyond that, no. I dunno, maybe it's just me, I think if we do the pursuing we are setting the stage for the rest of the relationship. We may take the lead on other stuff as well because we feel he could be moving to slow.

I just dont think so.



I may start something but if he doesnt catch on quickly, I will not pursue.

Jeremiah, you're gonna have to start attaching names to the replies you're making, because I can't figure out who you're replying to.

The Lord knows your address if he wants a man to find you he will either in the grocery store or Home Depot. Wait on the Lord he will bring it to pass.

Well said brother! Thank you. May I add to the discussion try not to pressure guys into a long term relationship the first date. Relate to him as a brother in Christ. Some men are scared away on the first day when you start talking about the wedding ceremony and how many children you want.



One day at a time. If you've been courting for more than 3 months consistently and you both feel that the relationship could possibly lead to marriage around the fourth month of courting it is time for him to start bringing up the marriage track conversation.



Women should guard their hearts don't give your heart away until he is committed to the realtionship.

In my experience women taking the reigns in a relationship leads to disaster. I will admit at the time I was in my last relationship I had trust issues. I was so afraid that he wouldn't do anything, that I literally pushed him away.



Women need to find that balance pursuing and being pursued and I think if you are not careful....it can easily turn into the woman taking the reigns and the man just sitting back. At least that's what happened in my relationship.



But men, seriously if you're interested and you know she is interested don't wait forever.... pursue. :)

You are right this is not a game where a woman allows you to be the road runner and she is the coyote that's not fair to put all the work on the man. There has to be a delicate balance where she reciprocates in the relationship. I am all about a woman being polite and not leading men on unless they are truly interested in the man.



As Christ followers we are not like the world we have to steward the hearts of our brothers and sisters. If we see that the relationship is not proceeding and there are some issues that are irreconcilable and marriage is not an option the time to speak up is early in the relationship not after hearts have been given away.

Steve you are right! We are required to be polite after all we are Christ Ones right? And the administration makes it so easy for us all you have to do is click the button that says "I am not sure we will make a good match." That is not that hard.



I am sorry for your bad experiences, keep trying the Lord has an amazing woman of God out there for you.

I agree with Steve. He's right there are ways to respond politely without offending. When a guy is interested in me I pray first to make sure that God has called us to start communication and if he's a good match based on his profile I will start chatting with him to get to know him better if things begin to progress I keep communicating usually after a few months it's been my experience that men move on to the next profile. It would be nice if they would give the woman closure and say something to the effect "thanks for chatting with me but I don't think this will progress any further." Respect for each other works both ways.
