What is your opinion about (on-line dating?)?
March 9th, 2010 by admin | Posted in Single Dating Services
My friend met this guy on-line a year and a half ago. They still haven’t met in person. She doesn’t have a picture of him; doesn’t care about that! She is a Christian and only wants to have a relationship with a guy because of whats inside. In my opinion this is quite the gamble! lol She is in love with the idea of him or at least what he has portrayed! I’m unsure of advice to give-since I have never had the nerve to date on-line. I don’t feel comfortable myself to trust that the other person is being honest! So-whats your take?
- A registered sex offender did not reveal to me about his conviction while we were dating? this scares me. I mean, do they HAVE to tell you? I just could NOT believe it. I am freaked out by it. Thank goodness I have enough smarts that he never even knew where I lived. But, is there any laws that says he needs to reaveal this information??......

You can’t "date" online…you have a chat buddy. To date, you must be in the same physical location at the same time, and then do something together.
She’s enamored with a fantasy. The guy may or may not be what she’s made him out to be in her head.
Meeting people online, with the intention of deciding to meet in person and see where it goes, is fine. Spending months or years chatting online and calling it "dating" (without ever having met) is a lot of wasted time by people who tend to be afraid of real relationships.
I think it’s a big waste of time. I don’t need to do that to get a man.
The thing is people act diff online then they do in real life, and they could make up anything they want. You should let her figure this out herself if you try to bully her in to letting him go she will become more attached
I don’t think it’s good to on line date because you don’t no if the other person is telling the truth or lying about everything they say.
I think online is great …it saves so much time. You can get t know the person really well before you decide if you want to meet them.
Though Im not sure about your friends situation, No pic? whats up with that? And chatting for a year and a half and no meet?………….It sounds sus to me.
People who are genuine and are really there for dating, show their pics, and set up meets ( after a period of time of course)………….Usually exchange numbers etc……
Your right it is a gamble. You don’t know what your going to get.You should definitely talk to her on how dangerous it can be. Who knows who the guy on the other side of the computer is. I mean think about it!!!?? Its like myspace. You don’t know who is looking on your profile. Please talk to her.
The point of online dating is to meet someone you might not otherwise have the chance to get to know. After all a great guy might live a block away, but with no way to meet each other, he may as well be on Mars. Online dating can eliminate that problem.
But….when you become involved it should be with someone near enough so that you can meet fairly soon and determine if there is any real chemistry to support the online connection you have made. No one can possibly decide if they are really attracted to someone if they have never met them.
Your friend is living a fantasy. Anyone who hasn’t provided a picture in a year and a half is hiding something, and I hesitate to even suggest what.
Many first time "Onliners" find out the hardway to be wary of these kinds of relationships. She needs to get smart and find out exactly who this guy is.
And yes, I have met a great guy online and also have a friend happily engaged to a guy she met online.
i think choosing someone because of who they are and not what they look like is a noble act, but that doesn’t mean that looks arnt important… even in a christian relationship. even Greg Laurie in his book "christian dating" says that dating somebody that you arnt attracted too (even if you like who they are) might be in vein.
my opinion. get a picture. now that she knows that she likes the guy for who he is, the chances of her being attracted to him are higher. also, its good to actually talk on the phone after a while also. if she still feels like it could work out and God is the center of this relationship, than i would try to arrange a meeting, on mutual ground of course.
fact of the matter is, a few months ago i found myself getting ready to quit useing a christian online dating website. Ive never needed it before, and i thought it would be interesting…well turns out i met an awsome woman from my home town in California. we started e-mailing, then talking on he phone. then we started chatting through our web cams, and now we are cunducting bible study on Monday nights online…. i am flying out to meet with her (as well as some time with family and friends) in Feb… and cant wait. this could work out….
so…original question….. i don’t have a problem with online dating…. if its done right, God can use it…. so many people don’t use it right though. but its not for everyone…..
