I'm considering and praying about online dating. I feel reluctant, but I cant think of much else at the moment. Hhmmm.

I hope that God provides some clarity. 37 and unmarried is becoming a bit much. In the past I didn't really care much about being single, but within the last 6 months or so the desire for a partner...husband has been intense.

It is just that online dating somehow seems artificial to me and I am sure my mother will think that every date I go on will be with a murderer. :) But safety really is an issue.

In short I'll keep praying. I feel sad that I even have to consider it.
 
I've never used dating sites, but i have met people online that i've dated. Even got engaged once. I don't see what's artificial about it. I think dating sites are artificial. And i think going on dates with random people, or people you barely know is artificial too, even if you didn't meet them online. I think 'singles get togethers' are artificial. Though this site is not wanted to be used for dating, people do naturally end up together and there have been a number of people who married the people they met here.
 
Online dating can be frightening and for a good reason. You are correct about your mother! My grandma thought the same thing, I met a few guys from online dating. ALWAYS get a background check, it's worth the ten dollars for the peace o mind. Please don't be sad. there are many people who are alone, they don't stay alone I promise. God has a plan for you and he will show you the way. Loneliness tends to make us rush things, by all means be friends first and get to know them.
 
its true there are many people out to be dishonest in online dating but rest assured there are still many good people waiting just like you..wishing you the very best!!

The input of FALSE data is easy there.
The true data is proved by REAL facts and you know how honey is when you try a bit.

Many people are not what they think nor what they say they are, online and personally, so WE deserve the task to prove WHO they are by experience, living and personal experiences.

I have seen how wrong online sites could be when choosing, same way when we chose PERSONALLY and alive, with living and real people.

The thing is being encourage by will, by God, by people backing you up when having a DATE that NEVER HAS TO BE BLIND: The more you see, the more you know.

I hope you find that partnership!
 
I think online dating is a no. God works things out in ways we cannot even see. I prayed about it and clear as day "stop striving and know that I am God" popped into my mind. I guess for me online dating is the equivalent of fretting and trying to take things into my own hands.

Any nice Alberta Christian men out there? :D
 
Where is it? I can move... Ha! Ha!

May I give you a piece of extra advice?

I have years online. I have grown to know many things I was immature (Online dating helps you grow emotionally, by the way)

CC is safe. I cannot talk for all, but I can tell there are many people here you can grow with and learn from.

I never paid for those dating sites. Their business is making money for your needs and, of course, the idea is make believing they care, they´re doing the best to help you (helping themselves first).

I knew many sites (pagans, in fact) I met a lot of people and I was "engaged" 3 times (the last ended by Sept 2012). I serves for nothing (just to know people, to learn from you, emotionally)

Today I read how GOD helped you in your job, He will do the same with your Mr Right.

Cheer up! God loves you more than any men. (Dec 26, 2013)

Hi, female content!

Since today, according to your next blog, I see you haven´t known a lot about you.

Allow me to say: Do you think you know -yourself- a lot?

That life partner is for knowing you or knowing him?

In the punching list of you life, have you ever considered being a mother? (viscerally, do you want to be a mother?) or somebody´s else life partner?

Have a nice week! :)
