Well, I don't know if every young person is ready for a relationship. Twelve seems too young for anything serious, I didn't have my first crush until I was fifteen, and it took me a few months to realize it wasn't that serious and that it wasn't the big deal I made it out to be in my head, haha!

And I know plenty of people who met their marriage partner in high school, though maybe that's less true today, I don't know.

Also, I feel like "free apps" would attract people who aren't all that serious about dating. When I was on paid sites or apps, it always spurred me to be a bit more intentional and serious, and actually engage in mature conversation with people I was interested in. Just my thought, though.
In general, I don't like free stuff, unless it is air, sun ... from God.

With a paid system, usually things are more organized.

Is we use a service, we should contribute.

why didn't you end up with one of these pious godly gentlemen? Why didn't God make it possible for you? Why did you have to date several of them, and still hang around here on the single board?

And as a side note, that's an awful lot of anger directed at me for being single. I guess you're one of those judgemental church people who thinks everyone should be married? 🤔

Hi lovette! I see you figured the reply button, good job!! 👏😎

Now you'll just have to explain how defending the honor of the guys I have dated equates to ridiculing the #metoo movement.

I'm trying to figure out if you are genuinely confused or just making bizarre intentional mischaracterizations. 🤔
No, I have equated you calling them "godly" to ridiculing the #metoo movement. I think you calling them "godly" is making bizarre intentional mischaracterization just to counter the #metoo concern.

No, that's directed at you for disingenuously calling me bearing false witness, and I just referred to your own words in #76.
 
Christians usually go to places such as cc.... just saying

Those don't follow Jesus have other choices.....

Jewish people also have their site too, just saying.

So you're saying I should have lied about those men and falsely claimed that they were ungodly and pressured me for sex? 🤔

😂😂😂 OK well if you're comfortable saying that spending quality time with a few guys in my 40- plus years on earth equates to being discontent with singleness and supportive of dating apps and a broken dating culture then I really don't know what else to tell ya. It's between you and God now so you can just defend your comments to Him some day 🤷‍♀️.

Thanks, my conscience is clean, no memory or trauma of any date to haunt me.
