Pretending to be a Christian: When Online Dates Lie to Get Sex

She was a minister seeking a great guy online to get to know and hopefully marry one day. He was a lonely guy who just broke up with one of many sexual partners and was hoping to land "a good woman" after finding his sexual conquests were unfulfilling. Both registered with a popular Christian dating site.

Before long, the two would meet and exchange brief notes online asking typical questions like: "Why did you choose this site? What are you looking for in a new relationship? Where do you desire to live? Do you have any children? How long ago was your last dating experience?"

It all seemed so harmless, at least in the beginning, that is until the stories shared between the two resulted in some harsh words exchanged a few times.

The woman of God wasn't interested in "no heathen who would mess up her spiritual walk." Her online connection was encouraging her to invite him to her home for some "cuddling." On the other hand, he wasn't going to date some "mouthy minister" who thought that she was "better than" he. The spiritually confused man had talked about how he was tired of her messages with scripture posted at the end. The worshipper said she was tired of reading about his days at the job. At times he used expletives to explain how he felt about a few bad days here and there while she used words of encouragement and left her frustrations with God.

Things went from good, to okay, and then to bad during this short-lived online relationship. Both continued their Internet pursuits hoping to find the "good man and good woman" of their dreams--good luck!

The previous example is just a reminder to those of you who are Christians or those pretending to "love the Lord" or "go to church" or "enjoy the Bible" to STOP!

God sees all! Don't wonder why your connections are never lasting ones!

This is a problem that you have to face when trying to meet someone online. I am finding out that the web is full of so many people who lie to achieve their goals. The truth always comes out and they lose face and probably never get want they were so bent on getting. Not everyone is like this though so I won't blame the web. You can pick up dogs and liars anywhere. Its having the wisdom to recognise them that matters.

How to Spot a Self-Absorbed and Conceited Partner Who Will Probably Cheat on You – Warning Signs to Look Out For

Everyone has a different perspective of what is considered attractive in a partner, whether it be a great smile, intelligence, or a sense of humor. However, others look for specific qualities when dating that they know will always lead to heartache – a self-absorbed and conceited partner. Dating such a person could lead to an unhealthy relationship filled with insecurities, jealousy, and constant drama. Identifying the early warning signs of such personality traits can save you from heartbreak in the future. 1) Narcissist tendencies If your partner is constantly talking about themselves or making everything about them, it may be a sign they are self-absorbed. Such tendencies are often portrayed as an overinflated sense of self-importance or arrogance. 2) A lack of empathy A relationship should be a two-way street, with both partners shouldering their responsibilities and being there for each other. However, some self-absorbed individuals can lack empathy. They may not care abou...

Finding Love: Location, Challenges, and the Search for True Connection by Nicholl McGuire

 When it comes to finding the right person to date, location can play a major role. According to the US Census Bureau, there are certain states that have larger populations of single men and women than others. Based on data from 2019, Washington D.C., Alaska, New York, and Hawaii had the highest percentage of singles among those 18 years old and over. On the flip side, North Dakota had the lowest percentage of single people in the 18+ category. Although these numbers can provide a better understanding of where to find potential dates, they don't tell the whole story. Singleness has different root causes depending on individual circumstances. For example, some singles choose not to date for religious reasons while others may be too busy at work or school to focus on their dating life. In addition, many people who have recently moved to a new area may not yet be familiar with the local dating scene. For those looking for love in all the wrong places, relocating may be an option.
