And yeah, I get folks not wanting this platform to be a dating forum.
Actually, the owner of the site posted awhile back that he does not mind people looking for dates or partners on this site and actually voiced his concern that telling people this isn't a dating site could turn away new members. I wish I had bookmarked that post. It was years ago.

You know in the chatroom, he eluded to that as well. Some person said, frustrated, this isn't suppose to be used for that. He said that while that isn't the primary intention provided here, he knew a few who met and fell in love here and that he was happy knowing this.

Super secretive? Nah, I just don't like pictures of me. I look much geekier in still photographs than in motion video.

Plus this lynx looks much better than I.
Well fair enough the lynx, btw, is so much prettier than most of us humans, lol. Thanks for responding and for sharing. Geeky is a good thing, btw.

Thanks, I am ready to move on and actually excited about what He has planned for me...
Albeit, I remain a bit anxious - knowing my vulnerabilities.
While my mind tells me to be patient and guarded going forward, my heart is excited about the potential love and joy I pray to be blessed with along my journey...
Yeah that's the attitude, we just must wait and accept His divine providence and His sovereignty, knowing His will is the best will. I think you are right though, you have to avoid the residual pain from leading your future relationships or you and her/they might find it hard to move forward in a healthy manner. I say this because I have allowed my insecurities and fears to lead and have needed His grace to heal my broken pieces. So I think since you are so in touch, it seems, with where u are at, u will be just fine. I'll be praying for you.

True, hard to know if ppl are really who they say they are. I guess that is another quality about our Savior that we can cherish, we know He is what He says He is. Thanks for responding, sis.

Speaking of that, a Nigerian scammer was on here a few months ago, using an American guy's pic to try and pick up women. He kept messaging myself, Jewel and several others until the mods got ahold of him..lol

Wow... Was he scamming for money from CC women, or just catfishing?
I wonder if he was working toward either a financial or passport scheme; as I suspect the gig would be up as soon as he attempted to meet someone in person...

hmm, Now I am curious too... to pull on this thread and dig deeper...
With the potential for catfish, scammers, and people that might be open to meeting other christians here...
Maybe you or Seoulsearch could do one of those creative polls asking how many people are here for some of these various purposes?
How many have been chatted up in here, linked up, fell in love, didn't fall in love, felt duped etc...

I think that is a brilliant idea. I think it would be interesting.

Well i don't like pictures for one. Two, I like being kinda mysterious lol. I also don't want any unwanted attention even though I'm a dude it can still happen. As long as I stay as some weird nerd who's probably extremely unattractive i have nothing to worry about. NOT ONLY THAT but if i ever show people what i look like it'll make it more meaningful. I want to meet one of my friends IRL eventually, he's pretty dope i wonder what people think i look like hmmmm.

kinda mysterious lol
Your Shini-Gami (Death God) avatar is not so mysterious. It is "Kisuke Urahara" from Anime "Bleach", onetime 'teacher' to Ichigo. It teaches some very satanic material. I know by experience, from what I once was. I would recommend to you brother, to change it and to let go of said Anime. I used to have his hat.

I picked him because i like his personality in some regards, he tends to seem very childish but is very serious that's why i chose him. Plus I kinda like how he looks so ye, the whole satanic thing though this is how i see it: God says if you're not with me you're against me so anything that isn't Christian is satanic but that doesn't mean i cant have him as my profile picture it doesn't affect anything. Also I don't watch nearly as much anime as i used to due to how they make women look at sexual temptation, plus i don't have the time but thanks for your concern. Maybe I'll change it to something else tho
