Please understand that all I’m going to say is just my opinion before I begin this blog. You are not required to see things in the same light as I do. Feel free to take what you want and leave what you don’t. Okay, that’s it. Let’s get started….
In my view, online dating is one of the scariest things a person can do. I know a lot of people who met their spouses online and are now happily married. I mean, they’ve been married for years and have a few people in ministry, and they love each other and serve God. Is it possible to meet your spouse online? Yes, indeed. Is it prudent for me to do so? Not by a long shot.
Nowadays, we have a plethora of online dating choices to choose from, like Zoosk, Match, eHarmony, Tinder, and the all-time favorite…… Christians mix and mingle. It amazes me how advanced we have become with technology while remaining so detached in fact. Did you know that flirting online is easier than talking in person and verbally expressing your interest? Guys have more faith in social media DMs than they do in face-to-face conversations with the woman they’re interested in, according to studies. Actually, no testing was undertaken, and that was just my view. When you read that, I’m sure you understood. That’s why some girls’ inboxes still have a guy from 2013 who says, “Hey gorgeous!”
I wouldn’t recommend online dating because I believe that the people you meet online aren’t necessarily the same people you meet in person. In fact, the virtual boo you’re calling a “dream come true” might be a nightmare. Not to say they’re “cat-fish,” but their personality and lifestyle don’t always mesh. If anyone were to follow that path, I believe they should honestly spend some time alone with God and ask themselves this one question: am I doing this because I’m tired of waiting to meet someone/be pursued, or am I doing it because I’m tired of waiting to find someone/be pursued?
