Haha. No problem. Derail away.@MegMarch, since we derailed her thread. I'm sorry, girl. <3 Also, @seoulsearch for sure.
I truly believe that you should do what feels right for you and what brings you the relationship that you are searching as long as you have God in my and heart then. Their judgement is to be taken with discernment as you like we all have your very own relationship with God as And shall know his judgement if any to be knownI’ve been a Christian now for about 7 years, and I’m finally encountering what I will call the wall of judgement from my Christian friends. It is not only in the area of dating, although this seems to be the topic that they care about the the most, but also in other areas like how often I read my Bible, or if I am serving others enough, or if I endure trials with joy because that is godly.
But I will focus on the area of dating. It is disheartening to me, and I don’t feel like I can date unless it is according to their standards. To clarify, we all agree on the Biblical stance regarding fornication. I’m referring to all the additional expectations they have.
For example:
-Online dating isn’t good.
-Don’t spend too much time taking to the other person because that means they are becoming your god.
-They aren’t good enough because they aren’t a “strong” Christian.
-Wait a certain amount of time between dating people.
My main question is this-how do you all deal with the way other Christians pressurize the dating environment?
Haha. No problem. Derail away.![]()
Awe. Perceived lack of boundaries. That's precious. *Diabolical laughterSee she’s already setting up boundaries (or the lack thereof) as our manager.![]()

...what was the title of the OP again?One thing I've noticed is that so many Christians who have so much to say on singleness among Christians and dating are ones who can't stand to be without a mate for one week. They keep a mate, even if they have to sin. So, these are people who definitely should shut up on the subject. Advice: Be very careful with choosing to taken the advice of others'. Consider their life. Are they in your shoes? Have they ever been in your shoes. Do they have your best interest at heart?
I think that I take the opposite approach. When I take advice from other's, I listen to people that I respect and want the life that they are living.One thing I've noticed is that so many Christians who have so much to say on singleness among Christians and dating are ones who can't stand to be without a mate for one week.
