What would you say to them whether it were face to face, via online, phone, text etc? I say the following: Thank you for your time and consideration. I appreciate the offer. However, I’m unable to pursue the acquaintance. I wish you luck in your search and hope you find the one you seek. Have...

Snob (Oxford dictionary): a. A person who admires and seeks to imitate, or associate with, those of higher social status or greater wealth; one who wishes to be regarded as a person of social importance. b. A person who despises those whom he or she considers to be inferior in rank...

That’s what I was getting at. I’m glad you understood. :-)

Your verbiage is very pointed. What does a “high horse” have to do with dating? Is it your consensus that preferences are not appropriate? Do you accept everyone who crosses your path? Do you extend the same to your sex? Meaning, is it wrong for a man to desire a woman who’s physically...

No one appears. They see a vulnerable person in a bad situation and present themselves as the difference. You don’t happen upon a married person and become a hero. You’re interested and acting on it.

Following the heart has landed people in compromising situations. Including divorce. We can’t base our decisions wholly on our feelings. We’ve been given wisdom, understanding and discernment for a reason.

I hear that said a lot and it baffles me. Lowering the bar doesn’t equal satisfaction or contentment. It’s better for them to pursue what they seek than settle with someone and resent what he lacks. If she’s looking for broccoli and you’re asparagus move on to the next. People like what they...

Chatrooms usually beget ‘interesting’ experiences. The absence of evidence makes them appealing to married people and those living with others. Most of the users aren’t really single. If someone messages us and wants to get too close too soon or is throwing out generic pick-up lines (whether...

Did you ever inquire why that’s the case? Some men are willing to accept a child if she possesses qualities he desires in the measure he wants. If she enters with others beyond that her value is raised. In spite of the impediments some would cite. Attractiveness, wealth, poise, social...

For strangers: I use honorifics when greeting, making small talk or departing. “Have a pleasant evening Sir” does wonders for their ego because it isn’t commonplace. For acquaintances: I compliment good decision-making, spiritual maturity, helpful viewpoints, positive displays of character...

Familiarity and intention. Hot from a stranger = rude or a compliment depending on the person Hot from a friend = cute or creepy Hot from a companion = brings a blush or a smile Stranger’s intention = perceived as lust or interest Friend’s intention = being nice, joking or flirty Companion’s...

For most, financial provision that’s sufficient to live comfortably on one income without compromising their lifestyle or interests.

From my experience, it’s a polite way of acknowledging their appreciation for physical beauty. Whereas women are thought to place less emphasis on appearance.

The vow is the tipping point. The marriage failed and no one is privy to the reasons. Few can scrutinize both parties and hear their story. In most instances, you’re hearing from one person. Humans are apt to clean things up a bit. No one is eagerly lining up to marry womanizers or someone...

Because intelligence isn’t a predicator for success and most who develop wealth aren’t the brightest or top of their class. They don’t have to be. Their creativity, ingenuity, and risk tolerance is greater than most. And they know how to fail. They have an owner mindset and develop skills and...

Happily married people don’t envy singles. Christian singles have significant challenges others lack. The absence of companionship, limited suitors, and restrictions on divorced believers creates a different environment. There’s a greater emphasis on singleness in Christian circles than I...

Marriages entered by unbelievers are not a sham. Paul’s caveat was dependent on the unbeliever desiring to depart. Few Christians end marriages over differences in faith. There’s usually other problems present. I’ve known several women in similar situations who were happily married. Their...

I haven’t encountered this and wasn’t reared in communities like the one described. I never had a hankering to hang out with married women or couples. That’s not my thing. I suspect this is less about bias than the necessity of knowing ones place and respecting boundaries. I’m not threatened by...

Do men prefer women who don't show them they like them too much? My companions preferred women who acknowledged their interest without excessive fawning, odd behavior, or hysterics. Men claim to want women to chase after them, but the few times I have chased guys they react very negatively...

No one presented me with a list of suggestions. I’ve read many on my own to gain insight on the biblical approach to marriage and relationships. I cover difficult subjects to learn how they overcame the challenges and moved forward. I continue to read Christian and secular titles on occasion...
