I like the point about online dating. I think once you know who YOU are in Christ you can discern who you should give your time to in online dating. The setting (online vs traditional) may be different but your morals and values should remain the same.
I agree sis
May God provide husband and wives for those who are in need through whatever possible channel in Jesus name!!!
I need someone who loves God more than me because I believe that he will be the best husband if he ever do. I pray that I will be married to a man from my church because I want to worship God with him.
AMEN
That makes a lot of sense actually
Been a Christian 31 years. You are sharp. Very sharp! The world desperately needs your advice. Keep on Trucking and God bless!
Thomas Wattley thanks brother, and God bless!
Sure
I met my husband online. It's been the best thing that could ever happen to me. ❣
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing :)
What app you find your husband?
Me too. Pof lol but we made it almost eight years now!
@@ciarabellasalma4337 we are almost 9yrs! Congratulations!
Wow, this is beautiful can you share the dating site on which you met?
I met my husband online. We got married knowing each other for TWO Weeks by Skype! God can do amazing things in our lives!
Radiant Flower ,pliz pray for me too. Im talking to a christian guy whom i met over christian dating site .its just only a week since we started chatting ... i dont want to go against God ..pliz pray for me ..india
Chongpy Misao I’m praying for you! May the Lord lead you and He is protecting you. Jesus loves you and doesn’t want you to make a mistake, but when it’s a right time He will lead you. In my case I was 200% certain that it was God’s will. That’s why we wouldn’t wait longer because we new we were meant to be with each other. May the Lord bless you sister!
Radiant Flower , thank q so much for yr prayer . I appreciate it ...fr india
Im on a dating site but still looking...
sweet belle May the Lord bless you and lead you!🙏❤️
I talked about this on my channel. There is no one in my church and my city only 5% Christian. I am shocked how many men call themselves Christian yet just want to hook up or sextext. Its nasty out there. I think God wants us to not u at sit there and do nothing. God blesses our efforts and we should be proactive. Its the same for our health, marriages, family, and finances. I can spot scammers and pervs reveal themselves fast. Its just a pain going through the muck to find the treasure. My pastor and elder said they would check out any man who I am thinking of courting. So any man needs their approval before even getting serious. I think that was the smartest dating step I ever made. The second choice is to not be alone with the man I decide to court to avoid temptation and being at risk. Thank you for your videos. They really help. God bless.
Valerie Hodson those are some strong and wise tips you shared. I commend your efforts to date wisely and to include your pastors. And you are right, there are far more people who want to sinfully date than there are people who want a godly marriage. Thanks again for sharing your insight with us Valerie!
yes i also agree. Great comment. Stay strong girl. As a Navy man its kinda difficult. Being single for 7 years has brought a lot of growth so i cannot say its been all bad although its been a little bit of time. I do look forward to courting a woman im intrrested in who is also after christ..all in good time. Dont give up the faith yall. Stay loving, stay honest and use wisdom.

...well dating is not really in Bible .....my wife ran away .... I believe aah married to FLATEARTHDOCTRINE.COM .... Lol ..
Hi Mark! I happened upon your CZcams. I believe you're sincerely Christian, so I'll be in touch. Keep up His good work!
I think there is nothing wrong with online dating. Just like "normal" dating discernment comes into place. I think the Christian community takes dating way to seriously and tend to take the fun out of it. This was a great video!
I agree, as long as no sin occurs dating should be fun

@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger Is there any other Christian dating sites that you recommend besides Christian mingle? Just curious.
I think you have to open an online dating site and help Christians, cause your advices are spot on.
Yesss, I absolutely agree! Mark Christian advices are insightful and gives clarity. We as believers wants and need to be surrounded by likeminded men in Christ!!
If he consider starting a dating site, even if it means every candidate has to go through a Christian questionnaire, interview or class to join as an accountability!! 😂😂 I'm down 🦋🙏🏾👑🦅
yess Mark u should really do this
Very true
A man that finds a wife, finds a good thing.
If they are a good person
@@antonk1524 ...ewwhat
..she ran away ...but
Not in 2020.
Yes true but remember what wife, you find
As an older woman, I can testify that Online Dating is a Devils playground. I absolutely loved the idea of being able to go online to meet people. I have physically met VERY FEW in a decade. No matter which site it is, the majority of profiles are scammers and another percentage are people looking to "hook up". 🙄 I never found someone to "date" and would not recommend it for anyone over 50 who is wanting a serious and Godly relationship. On the good side, God gave me several opportunities to witness for Him in conversations, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
I disagree, I believe with much prayer and being led by the Holy Spirit, you will know who to engage with. Many many profiles I skip over and know that he is not the one for me. I am over 50 and met someone and we now attend the same church (long story but a miracle). Information about him has been confirmed to all be true. Even with this meeting, I am taking it slow and trusting God to work out His plans for us.
I agree with you 💯
I tend to agree with you, it ended up being more of a distraction because most of the potential "mates" were not typically Christ centered men. Deleted the apps and using this time to grow closer to God and leave the rest to God.
Best are the traditional way, in India it’s the neighbour, relatives, family friend or even church members will try and help you to find a life partner. This way is much safer than online dating. I’m happily married to an Australian Christian guy, husband is caring and family oriented . Thank you Jesus.
People are not like that here in America which is sad.
Matilda, that sounds great. Not like that here in America. It would be nice if family or friends helped find that wife.
Yes, but you can still get screwed over even through the traditional way. I trust in God how I will find my significant other, but I do have to say things aren't the same in India compared to the U.S., especially finding someone from a relative or friend, sis.
I want a God loving sweet caring honest super funny weird loyal and respectful man. But ughhhh it's hard finding men with these qualities.
What are the qualities you can offer that the man you described would want? Good men are abundant but maybe they are out of your league?
@@jannieschluter9670 her very description might even be passing by her everyday in her neighborhood but it takes only the eyes of God to see because it's not written on their forehead, she might be looking at outward appearance, skin complexion, accent etc. that is how the Pharisees did not believe Jesus was the Messiah Isaiah 53:2-3
I feel you girl, exactly the qualities that I'm praying for.
Me too!
@@johnsonfamilynaturals Are you a good woman to be a wife ?
I just feel weird about dating online. It feels as though you are shopping for a spouse. I feel that meeting people in person is much easier, since you get to know the whole person and not just their profile picture/texts. I've also had some somewhat unpleasant experiences on christian dating sites. I'm praying that God will bring the right man in person and I continue to put myself out there and seek first the Kingdom of God!
I have been listening and reading to your teaching before you start your youtube channel i still remember you sending me email of the wonderful teaching which have always mold me to a better person today. You might not be having a million zillion followers but u have safe someone from the hell and that is me. God bless you and ur family mark.
That is so great to hear! I'm so glad you have been enjoying the AGW content for so long! Yes, many people don't know that I started with blogging and writing much earlier than the YT channel. God bless! All glory to him, I'm so glad the content has been helpful to you :)
It all depends...for me online Does Not work...tried it for YEAR's..yes years lol..its just not the way its going to come about for me..God knows...I learned my lesson ..TRUST God!!!!😇
I had been there also I don't trust dating sights
Go and find your wife, keep looking, she is in homebodies church.
In somebody's church
I am doing the online thing, it’s tough for sure. I just am not meeting people the normal way.
Yes trust God also do your part
I have been online dating for years and have only gone on maybe two dates. Neither one successful, one guy was a bit of a jerk tbh and the other wanted more physically than I was willing to do. I've never had luck with it and I feel the men I'm attracted to aren't attracted to me, and only much older men or men in far away countries are interested. Yet I still do it. However I do have that feeling that God has something better for me each time I even start chatting with a guy. And yeah there's a lot of so called Christian guys who just want to talk dirty online and I mean a lot!! So watch out for those, I shut them down quick.
Practical opinions,makes reasonable sense,yet IN ALL our ways we should first seek....PRAY,we truly must be led by The Spirit of Truth!
Many thanks for all your sacrifices!
My love be with you in Christ!
God bless!
There are good people online aswell ! Its all about decernment .
Fergus Gregory so true. There are bad and good options online and in traditional dating, it's not about how you meet but who you meet :)
Thank you for your videos. It is so refreshing to hear God's word and see how to apply it in relationships. Please don't stop offering this info for free!
On-line dating doesn't work. I've tried different dating websites. I'm waiting patiently and trusting in God to bring the right women into my life. I know it's my responsibility to ask her out when we meet and that's what I will do. You have to meet God in the middle. He'll bring the right person but then you have to take a leap of faith!
There all spam bro I feel ya man
Did you get one?
@@sallymaritim1479 I'm still single and don't bother much with on-line dating. I wait patiently on God and when the time is right she'll cone into my life. With the lockdown and the current crisis I'm taking each day one step at a time. Stay safe and God bless.
@@divineprovidence803 God will give you the right person.

Very useful for me ! While i am born again christian about 28 years (i am 39) and still single and listened many good teachings , i liked you as one of favorite vloggers that i met last time . You have a real wisdom and talant to teach on different subject ,especially dating and marriage . :) I reccomend your videos to some my ukrainian friends who know english .

Been there ,done that and wish I could give the t-shirt ,back! 😄 Lesson learned!
Traditional is what I will only do. I've had very bad experiences with online relationships. They lie, were into the occult, stalkers and hacker's. To many immature games. I've met wonderful people in person but that's just my opinion 😊
this was such great advice, thank you for all your videos!
I’m online dating but really struggling with it 😢 please pray for me to meet the man God has for me 🙏♥️
Wow, I am grateful to have stumbled upon this video! I am definitely interested in checking out that article and eBook. Thank you for your service bro! #blessings #peace #love
In my own short experiences, seems many are looking and hoping for that “perfect” person! Just ain’t gonna happen people, for we are all flawed!!
amen!!!!
Exactly!
Which is why I shouldn’t have such high expectations but I think a lot of people are like that
@@mariahconklin4150 But you may know already Mariah, that hope is a good thing, but being able to discern up front is precious, like red lights!
The old adage is: if it don’t feel right, it most likely ain’t right, so apply the brake system 👍🏻😉
@@mariahconklin4150 it’s humbling to know that we all belong to the human race and none of us truly got it all together, and If we did, we would defy gravity and walk on water! 🤔👍🏻
Thank you this was a great practical video.
Thank you for your advice ❤❤❤
Thank for your advice
Very good, sound advice. Thank you.
So true and exactly what i need to hear. Thanks n Gbu🙂
Am trusting God for a loving husband. Who will be a prayer partner
I will pray for you Sally 👍
*who’s watching this during Rona pandamic?*
Thank you for this video. I met my girlfriend on Facebook and we switch to hangout app. I wasn't so sure if this was right for me to do. But after watching this video I believe that God spoke to me and my girlfriend is also a believer. I ✝️ pray and believe for God to make us be together as husband and wife in person. In Jesus Christ name I pray. Amen
I'm glad most of you found the one online since I don't really go out that much.
Thanks for your information
It really depends on the dating site and we should always be wary of people who lie on their profiles. I tried dating apps a few times and I was always a little bit skeptical, plus dating apps cost money. I would prefer meeting in person through friends or family.
Been in online dating apps for some years now..but l believe in God's time...but it's Good to be available ,God knows which way He is going to use..but it's good to be in His alignment inorder for Him to bless you.
It blew my mind the first time I heard you mentioned online dating in one of your videos. Now I'm here wanting to know if there are apps for Christians.
I don't know but been a Christian for long time and I learned to have discernment spirit because even in church people's comes with wrong motives and end hearing the word of God and change their lives. So as Christian we should be afraid of talking to people or meet them because they are not Christian because our journey is to represent the light in the world and they have to see it.faith come by hearing and hearing the word of God.you may not get to meet the godly man online dating but you may sow the salvation seed.because there a space of God in every soul on the planet.
Met a guy on CM- im from canada, hes a mexican in crescent city california!!loved him, his family and his church! But the whole situation became emotionally and mentally abusive!not only him but his pastors wer condessending and making all sorts of false accusations! I was doubting eveything about myself!! They blamed me for so much and made him doubt my relationshup wt God completly!! They made him think i lied and wansr sincere!!It hurt alot, and i did everything to make them all happy and I was seeking God deeper still!! if hes trying to date someone, i hope she sees this comment and rethinks it!!
I met a Godly guy online recently,I like him that Much because he has almost all the good qualities as a Christian man,we learned to like ,appreciate and adore each other.He really wanted me to be w/ him but when I express that I only believe that a guy truly love me if he has genuine effort to be w/ me then he suddenly said that "since we are very far from each other bec. I'm from Philippines and his from Brazil he would treat me as friend or sister in Christ and he said he felt a love for me but it is not always what he wanted because he is not desperate of love"😢distance is really a problem to him.... Anyway thank you so much Mr. Mark Ballenger,I'm so grateful and feel blessed I found your videos/CZcams channel.Stay blessed and continue to inspire more Single Christians...🙏💖
I hope you meet your godly spouse by now, sis 🙏
How about another video about Christian online dating in the COVID-era and post-COVID era? Thanks.
For sure Raymond, dating in this environment is challenging at best
God bless you and your loved ones Mark
Thank you, may the Lord bless you too!
Very important topic.
Oh I like that way of thinking. With every date you can single that one out and say is this person worth dating again
Amen to that. I also have tried online dating sites like, Hitwe, Zooks or even Christian Mingle, but I haven't had any luck with finding the right woman for me, but aside from that, I still have Faith that God can and will bring the right woman to me in His time. Aside from that, you can never be too careful with whoever you chat with online, you'll never know if that other person is a fake or even a scammer or a catfish, honestly :-).
True, you have to be careful online
exactly
Hi brother!
I have also the same experience . Its hard to find real guys . Keep trusting God and just pray .
Not all aren't serious but I think God's protecting something
Let's not give up
I believe God will provide
Hello Scott did u find the lady u were looking for
I feel blessed for this Videos 😊😇
It's better to try both online and the face to face dating yeah it's most of the time difficult but you never know
It's very common for many Christian singles to find future spouses through online dating websites and phone apps.
I pray God give me a man have fearing and understanding congrats to you guys , I pray to all of you ,Godbless to all
In my opinion and experience, online dating is the worst! The quality of guys or girls are more into hooking up. They will not mention that on their profile until you actually meet them. Too risky for my liking, and time wasted. Develop interests outside of "on-line dating".
How do I get a picture here.. It was there now gone ..
Not all aren't serious
But I think God's protecting something
Let's not give up
I am on online dating but i guess God want to something to do...still looking
I'm almost 22, God has given me a desire ever since I was little, I always wanted to be a mom and wife. I've never been on a date before or had a relationship with a guy outside of just a casual friendship. I work from home so I don't get out much and there aren't any guys at my church that I'm interested or them interested in me. Even though I am young would you suggest dating online? I'm not exactly sure what my parents think about this. They always say it's so cool when they meet couples who met online, but have never really been supportive of it for me specifically. They always say you never know who you will meet at the grocery store 😂
What grocery store do you shop at😏😏 ?
this is amaizing i love...
I went to dating site since when I was 18 and everything you said is true but for me there's nothing wrong with it atleast it's something you are comfortable with. I am more comfortable talking to them online first before meeting them. I've learn a lot from it and now that I'm tired Doing online dating I wanted something in person lol. My goal is not to get married though my goal was to stay married so I have to take time who am gonna end up with. 💓
At first i thought you where gonna say im now happily married 😂
@@leratorato6751 I'm still single lols 🤣
😂Let's hope he will find you this year lol
I had bad experiences with that I rather not but thats just me God bless ☺👍💓
Yes, it is not for everyone :)
Online dating sucks 😬 most of the interactions don’t muster into anything serious, it’s truly a waste of time 😭 so I think I’m at the point of just waiting for God to bring me someone
Janelle why u think it’s a waste of time and where are u from if u don’t mind me asking
Great video and really made me think! I’ve been divorced now for 14 yrs “waiting “ fir the rt godly man to come along…Yes many moons ago I experimented with a couple dating sites. So discouraging, many are not truly following the Lord, some aren’t honest, and a lot are just looking for ungodly lifestyle partners. Sorry not my gig! However, today is a new day and I have met so many Christians who hav found their match online. I kept thinking Gods big enough to bring him to me! Then I was reading Matt 7:7-8 and it says “SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND!” Oh wow, I haven’t been seeking just thinking he’ll show up on my doorstep! Lord give us wisdom here please! May Your will be done in Jesus Name Amen! 🛐💕😇🙏
Everytime I have used online dating I have this feeling of guilt that comes over me. I haven't met quality people on there either but at the same time Miami is a hard city for dating. Miami is consumed with CNN brain wash people. I go to bars sometimes but again not much luck there either.
@@davidpaulplanchard3104 buy a motorcycle and ..

What I don't like about meeting girls online in person is how they try to find things that are wrong with you so they have an excuse to reject you.
Wait.. why are you here though? This is for Christians lol
I'm looking for a Christian man to spend the rest of my life with. Please try to find one for me as long as he is a Christian and is 45-50 years of age.
How old are you?
I’m 23 years old and never gone on a date before. I just moved 4.3k miles away to an island. And I’ve been here for a few months already. I feel like it would be a good way to meet someone, especially since I haven’t found someone yet. I am very strict with who I might go out with. But it doesn’t hurt to try
Hi Megan
Let's talk. . .and where? 😊
Im not lucky to find one, but its okay i trust God for his plan for me. Now a days its really hard to find true love. But im happy for those who happy married and find their true love in online dating.
Amen
I am 26 and have been asked out once ever in my life. Never had a boyfriend or anything like that. It’s hard to find people my age to go on a date. I think it’s time to switch to online. I am so scared of it though 😂
Try being 49 and in the same situation.
How have you been doing? BTW you are still so young! If I were to give you advice, just go to Church events and hang out lots with your friends. Be open to going to different social settings and I am sure you will meet a Godly man :)
@@adaliavasquez6552 I’m doing alright, thank you for asking :) since I posted that, I did go on one date. Literally got cat fished and deleted the dating apps after that. I’ve signed up for every single church event that I could go to to meet people. Unfortunately, there is only bars around here to hang out (I live in a college town).
I’m still trying, but still frustrating. Lol!
Thanks for taking the time to share! I appreciate it!
@@MsHannahbanana94 I'm praying for you. I haven't been asked out either and it hurts but I feel that when I'm honest with God about my feelings and how frustrating it is He really helps me feel better. I pray God will bring both of us great men who will pursue us :)
@@MsHannahbanana94 It doesn't help that we're in a pandemic so basically no in person events are happening, so don't be hard on yourself
I'd like to know which is better in the early stage of dating..getting to know the person as they are and seeing if we are comfortable with each other or getting to know their spiritual maturity to be sure we are equally yoked?
both, but if there are biblical issues then you have to shut it down. You can work through the other stuff if you want to
If I were to use online dating I would look for someone humble and that loves god because only god knows who’s for you for now I’m just waiting on him to he says ok she will be your spouse
May i know u tho
@@sophiamusoke6971 what do u mean?
@@boxerxx951 just inspired by u relying on God for the righful partner .so this pushed mi to u just that
Thanks for the video .i have heard stories of people success stories with online dating though I have tried and has not worked .any way i will try again though i had lost interest in online dating .
Can't hurt to try if you guard your heart and be wise about it
I am almost 21 & I am working in an environment with only women (I'm a teacher) & I go to church where my college youth group consists of 4 guys & 3 of them are married. I have been single for nearly 6 months & I ended things on good terms with my ex so I have no attachments. I've been praying to God & preparing myself & I plan to continue doing that. I also haven't been on a date in a long time & it didnt go too well! So, I've been looking to online dating & I have been worried because my friends feel like it's a bad idea.
Same just want someone I can relate to
Some might suggest visiting other churches. Maybe some bigger church in the area has a Wednesday-night thing?
I went to verbal and mental abuse in my marriage and my parents too. so,this is my challenge.
Online dating maybe be a good choice if there’s not many Christians singles in your area but it’s frustrating when you meet someone but they live 500+ KM away so there’s not even a chance of even trying to go out on a date or establish a friendship...well maybe a friendship is possible but not necessarily on a more personable level if you lived closer to one another. Just some thoughts from experience. I truly want God to write my story but does this mean that I should sit back and literally let God bring forth someone to start a friendship? Like literally drop him on my doorstep (like what happened with a few friends of mine) Or should I just “get out there” and try?🤷🏼♀️
I tried it I could only stay on it for about 5 hours (during my night sleep). It grossed me out. Not for me! But I do think God can use this to bring people together.
It's definitely not for everyone. And least now you know you've tried it and you don't have to wonder if you should use online dating. God bless!
Lol. I had a profile up for about two hours and got sooo many creepy messages! I deleted immediately and it just didn't sit well with me. My friends were urging me to try it, but what's wrong with wanting to meet someone in real life?! I'm trying to be encouraged. It's frustrating.
@@divinediva_ ...hello my love .. Try FLATEARTHDOCTRINE.com type men .. My wife ran away
.
I know you gives us advice on this, but I have a prayer request from you. Bring me in your prayer on this matter.
I have been single for long. My church has no single man i could be attracted to and i have no ways to meet an equally yoked man. The only problem Is that i flee sexual inmorallity and watching guys online to date them feels a bit like it. I am torn...maybe i am being too religious...the truth Is i know i am made for marriage and prolonged single life Is not healthy for a person like me.
I need prayers. Traditional meets/greets haven’t helped much even if I’ve other singles. We have nothing in common ! Online dating is worse because I have come across ghosters, players, manipulators, etc. my last date was nothing but a sex addict so I dumped him immediately and he was a player. I’ve been single 4 years and I want to try again and to be honest I’m reticent. Do you have any wisdom for me, especially since it seems like at 44 I’m totally invisible even though I’m not ugly, so it’s aggravating.
Hi Mark I like your video on dating Christian's and i have trouble with this and if you have a video on Christian's dating with has a disability

What are we supposed to do? Some of us are too old to go to the bar/club and have few friends. How are we supposed to meet people? Someone’s not going to fall in our laps!
Funny Alicen, fall in your lap. I believe we must put forth some effort on our part, just put ourselves out there. Regarding the bar/club scene you will meet the wrong type of people I believe.
Walmartt / grocery stores , social functions , civic groups , campaign rallys, church / revivals
Hopefully the ladies will keep it in their minds , that it will be very hard for a Man to approach them , if. they stay smothered in a. group .
Alicen Lynne- My guess is that you have to ask those who already succeeded at the goal, for input on what they did.
Any success so far ?
Well I live in a small town but I don't think I'm ready for online dating. First of all my picture taking skills are terrible second I'm terrified I'd be matched with someone I know and have not liked and would lose all my hope lol. Quality of a person over quantity of people is for sure my priority in this field.
It is important. Issues. I met some. Nuts online and not in good way. I meet good people too. It is discernment
..try FLATEARTHDOCTRINE.com maybe that things or ..
Best way to take a great pic of yourself on your phone is to use the timer option. Let your phone handle how good the photography is.
Most apps don't connect you with someone unless you tell it you want to talk to them (and they did the same thing).
The issue I've found with a small town is most matches being a hundred miles away.
To really know God's opinion, we should be hearing a news anchor stating something like, "Tonight, God's View on Online Dating; hear the results of our news team's exclusive interview, details at 10." 🤨
I struggle with this question I am a believer and my first partner by marriage was not. My second partner by marriage also was not a believer. My partner died 6 years ago. My struggle is I have renewed my faith and don't want to transgress God's law. Do I need to not ever marry a believing person until my vows to first partner are completed by death . Can you suggest verse?
I would say if your most recent spouse passed away you are free to remarry. That's my best application of Scripture but you should study that topic yourself to see what you feel about it
@Look 2 the Word The Truth is remarriage to another person while the first wife or first husband is still alive is considered adultery, so if your first lawful husband is still alive, regardless of whether he is a believer or not, you should remain single. The only thing that can break a marriage union which is a covenant is death.
Here is what the Scripture says
Luke 16:17-18 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. 18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
Romans 7:1-3 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
I'm glad to see that you are a believer now, and my advice for you is to stay single or, if possible, reconcile with your first husband. The will of God is for you to make heaven and not live the lifestyle of an adulterer. Adultery via remarriage leads to hell.
Online dating is convenient. But you approach them the same way without seeing them. I am giving it another chance. But I am holding to my principles and discernment.
I had the oddest thing happen. I was on a forum and I met somebody that I felt was God sent. It freaks me out how much we have in common. I certainly don't want to jump to conclusions. I asked God for a sign and God answered. This is weird . Would God bring two ppl together so randomly??? Or satan?
Traci H keep praying abou it. Bring clarity and to reveal who they really are. Sometimes God can act quick. For example, I pleaded with God on a Sunday morning to let me know if the church I've been going to was for me. I got my answer the same day. Since I've been gone I saw what I needed to see.
Well try FLATEARTHDOCTRINE.COM maybe that will help ..am strange guy ..

As a single 56 year old woman considering entering the dating scene, nowadays should I expect the man to pay for the date? Should I bring money in case he doesn't offer?
I would bring money just in case but I would still think most men would offer to pay.
The age is not a problem.. Man should still pay anyway.. But take money with you in case he pretend to forget his wallet
Given up online dating. Not only does everyone live far, but you just don't know who they really are. Are they really single? Are they really who they say they are? Bleh...
So what if you’re a junior in college and you’ve never been on a date? I’m seriously considering it. I’m just not meeting anyone and most guys at my church have girlfriends.
Update: I’m a senior now. Is 22 too young? I’ve never been on a date and my desire is to marry young, if that’s God’s will.
I want a Christian dater
I'm 22 and I've never been on a date with a guy. But I never went to college. I'm working at my church but all the guys that work and/or go to my church don't seem interested. But I'm also introverted and when I try to talk more I'm just brushed off or ignored, not to mention people immediately assume I'm flirting and make it a point to yell as loud as possible about it right in front of the guy. So idk, I have been heavily considering it aswell. I was always told horror story's (dad's a cop) about online dating so I wasn't gonna try it... until I got a new coworker who also has a cop dad who told her horror stories aswell but she tried it anyways and set VERY strict boundaries about how and when and where they met up for dates until she was comfortable with him coming home to meet her family. She ended up marrying him. Now I know I'm not her so my experience could be a little different, but hearing how cautious she was kinda helps me know that I can put my foot down and let the guy know I'm not about to let him catfish me.
All in all, I feel like if I'm cautious about it and if I let a friend or two know, or my older sister since we are close, then I should be ok with at least trying it. Because I'm tired of being ignored in real life. I REALLY desire to meet someone naturally in person, because I have close best friends that I've met naturally, but when it comes to guys it's like I don't even exist sometimes. (It also doesn't help that I actually really gave it a good try one time with a guy and it failed so bad that I'm now kinda frightened about the idea of always making the first move) so yeah. I'm going to pray about it for a little while longer, maybe till the end of the month, and then if I'm still leaning on it Imma try it.
I feel you, I don't think 22 is too young. I'm 20 & a sophomore in college. Girls are either too old, too young, or taken at my church. & now with Covid, my school is completely online. So hard to find someone.
How can I submit questions?
You just did lol
I want to join the Christian in this world of fear and I want to date the Christian
Dating online has its own pros and cons of dating. We shouldn't be considering the GOD in this. If you are really interested in knowing whether you should go traditionally or not, check out 'Why do YOU Online Date in (2018)?' video on #CarlosHardy this video will help you to understand more about online dating.
Am 35 and looking to meet a attractive Christian man 😅
Too many scammers in the online dating sites and that includes Christian dating sites. Buyer beware it is a big risk. There is nothing wrong with finding someone at your church.
Thank you brother for the advice, I have been on many dating sites but if you try to ask someone His relationship with God, he will tell you he's a just a Christian....n at the end of the day, they will be asking for nude. So I decided to delete the app n wait for the Lord to do His will....
What's the best online dating App?🙈🙈
Am 28 I would like to try it out
You never know God's plan.
I feel am ready to be that care ring wife material
Just have fun with it and don't get your hopes to high.
