I would say we don't so much try to discourage Christians from dating as discourage the worship of relationships, including the mentality that any relationship is better than being single and the idea of searching for a romance for its own sake rather than because you genuinely like the person you are with. Siberian made a great point about how much values have changed, and to here some people's stories around here about dating even among Christians, I often think it's the character and expectations of the potential dates that discourages me from dating far more than some Christian teaching. If most of our available options are people who don't meet our values, should we just assume we must compromise our values in order to be loved and accepted for (not) who we really are?
Hate single life.

FRIENDS****FRIENDS*****FRIENDS*****Here is some dating advice I have given in the past----don't go out on a "date" romantically---just go as friends----if you get to know each other when there is no pressure you will find out if you like that person or if you are falling in love with that person----a good example is the movie: "You've Got Mail"-----Meg Ryan falls in love with a guy she hates (Tom Hanks) just because they hang out together---they also get to know each other anonymously by e-mail----if you go on a date and start wrapping your lips on that guy/girl your brain could go dead and bad things could happen---this advice is not for everyone, but it works for some---just think about how many secretaries fall in love with their bosses and they run off and get married----this whole thing started as a working friendship---later because of closeness there develops a bond---and eventually love...
Not bad advice. I mean I think almost anyone can fall in love. I mean look over at our Indian friends, they get married often times without ever even seeing each other before, and their marriages are way more successful than ours.
So will you be joining the array of suitors in this edition of CC Bachelorette 88? For some reason I had thought you were married.

God told Adam and Noah to be fruitful and multiply. God never told US to change the world by breeding a lot of little christians. (Besides, from what I have seen that is not very successful as many christian parents' children wind up leaving church as soon as they get old enough to make their own decisions.)
No, we are to be a light in this world but I don't think breeding is the linchpin of the plan.

Lol I don't blame my generation for fleeing man's churches at all. They ain't helping us at all; so why would we help them? Heck if anything they are helping the heathens and unbelievers! May they fall inwards upon themselves and may the Christians be clean escaped from their vile clutches so that God's name be praised!
Dang, there is just no hope with you people is there? So we should hate being single, but we should just stay in our hole because we will hate climbing out of the hole? What kind of logic is this?!
Or are you trying to edge out the competition whom was smart enough to declare her eligibility in wanting a Christian partner? Lol, if so that is actually kinda cute and hilarious, but no need to be worried I am sure if you just indicate you are single and available too that there is probably a whole bunch of Christian men around here somewhere that would be glad to submit themselves to your rigorous selection process. Have you considered Lynx? He's 38 years old and wants someone in your age range, you're only one year younger. If you can afford your own plane ticket and marry him he can get you a green card and like a knight in shining fuzzy armor save you from the clutches of the evil heathen dictator Duterte (super romantic!). As long as you tolerate his taste in music he will probably purr for you happily as you fulfill all three of his conditions for a Christian spouse.

Lol I am not the OP. I think it's a rather positive reaction compared to your telling someone they should just stay in a life they hate and they will hate to be married. I mean you don't have to pick Lynx particularly. I'd offer myself, but I think I all ready know the answer on that one lolololololol. What about Siberian_Khatru. Sure he's a young guy like me, but he seems pretty promising, willing to be a conversationalist, very accepting person.

Well I think lynx is just a cat, not a fish.
I think Siberian is a male, I don't see why he isn't, but truthfully I have no idea what a khatru is.
As for me I am a male also.
As for the OP, I mean she looks pretty and feminine. Maybe I am wrong though, she hasn't talked to me yet. Heh female jealousy, lol it is so cute, but is it really necessary to cast suspicion on each other's gender? Just speak for yourself.
