But I don't care. You can frown upon it all to want, don't try to convince me.

I'm looking for a True Christian partner who is Calvinistic in her beliefs, has interest in getting to know someone with the same and is willing to be taught more about what's going on in the world.

Please do not comment if you have no interest. Negativity and controversy is not welcomed.

I have a lot to offer and desire very much to share it with someone.
So if you are interested, message me instead of commenting here.

Yeah, You can go against the site owners wishes and behave disrespectful and selfishly. I'm sure you'll make a great husband with those qualities.

This dating ad sounds more like the making of an end times cult than anything else.

Oh you who stir up controversy. Be at peace with men. What is it to you if I desire to search for a suitable mate here? Has God put restrictions on me to desire such things?

Have you tried Christian dating sites? They will have the option for a location close to you as well as finding someone in your denomination. I think you will have more success than on here.

You mean other than going against what Robo, the site owner, has to say about the subject? Nothing wrong with disobeying the rules i guess.

Ugly, I can convict you of the same thing. How many times have I forbade you from posting in my threads? All you so is criticize me so please stop.

CM is $10 a month for a 6 month subscription. Might be worth doing that instead of going against the wishes of CC's owner, as Ugly said. :)

Besides, from what I know of relationships that have come of CC, it has come from both being active in the community and friendship just sort of happening from there. Most people I know who have relationships from on here (not that I know that many, actually) didn't come on here for the purpose of dating. I'm not sure how effective going to a non-dating site looking to date is...

Y'all need to play nice. And if you can't play nice you're grounded from swimming tomorrow. Those are the consequences, boys.


Oh, and Ammi, you can't forbid people from posting. If you don't like what ugly has to say, ignore him or block him. It's that easy.

Might be worth a try, most sites will offer a one month option, so you are not stuck paying monthly and getting no where. There is a possibility of finding someone on here, I did briefly even though it wasn't intentional. It naturally developed through regular conversations though. Distance was an issue, among other things, it just didn't work out. I think you'd have more success finding a mate on a site that is devoted to finding a mate, have descriptive profiles and photos of the other person.

So this would probably not be the place to post an ad looking for a part-time nanny? Wut??

Sorry, I'm being...you know, how I be. I'll go away.

Erm...but good luck finding uh...who you're looking for!

Although the Admin team does not encourage using CC for the specific purpose of seeking a relationship since most of our single users are not here for that specific purpose, we do not prohibit it either.

Train cars all over the place! Smoke! Fire! People running about panicking! Sorry bout the wreck, Ammi.

It would be OK to post an ad for a part-time nanny as long as the owner did not have a website making money off of ads for part-time nannies. So you see... helping one to find a mate is not a free service. Many people that seek a mate are seen as very lonely and vulnerable (and in many cases it is true) and they are therefore easy prey to profit off of.

On some websites, the admins even have fake screen names solely for the purpose of monitoring for this kind of activity to ensure that these services are not being freely accessible.

On dating websites, they offer a free membership without access to inbox e-mail. Many of the websites have fake profiles set up to send messages to lure people into buying a membership.

This kind of commercialization of helping one find a mate makes it very difficult to do online.

I've made brief mention in another thread that I have been involved in exposing online dating scams and scammers for quite some time now. That is how I know all of this.

The love of money is the root of ALL evil.

You may not obtain favor in men during your search, but you will obtain favor from the Lord when you find what you are looking for. Seek diligently but be sober, wise, and vigilant.

It's not just the fact that this isn't a dating website; the attitude is a bit off putting. "I know this isn't what it is but I don't care and you won't change my mind."

Hey Ugly and whoever, please don't use my name (or refer to "the site owner") and misrepresent me. :) We don't have any rule against a Christian single posting a thread in our Christian singles forum about wanting to meet a like-minded Christian single for potential marriage.

We didn't make this forum specifically for that but we don't have a rule against it, at least not at this time. I think anyone who doesn't like such threads can just avoid them. If he or anyone meets a godly woman/man that way then I'll thank God for that. 'Course it's at their own risk, or embarrassment, or whatever, but that's all up to them. I personally don't have a problem with it and don't look down on any Christian using whatever resources to try to meet a compatible Christian for marriage. There have actually been a number of marriages from CC acquaintances, and I think many of them are godly marriages. Praise God for that.

Okay I understand you're referring to Christian singles sites, and not our site here, as this site is free, but as a Christian webmaster who is overworked and grossly underpaid, I must say it's a little odd that people want such service -- even for the most important thing in their life, finding a lifetime partner -- and don't want to chip in one dime for all the hard work and real expense that any very active Christian site would have.

And I would think that finding your lifetime partner would be well worth a few dollars, and that SHE would be well worth thousands of times that to you, and I would think that being willing to shell out a few dollars would be a better sign of financial preparedness for marriage and willingness to shower that special one with your money and your life, not to mention showing appreciation for the hard work of people devoting their lives to helping you find that person, and help with their real expenses.

Just speaking as a Christian webmaster and site owner, even though I know your comments were not about our site.
