I think that's a very misguided notion. Someone might say similar things about people spending a lot of time in online forums. There are many different reasons people use online dating services. Your comments are hugely stereotypical.ummidrinkcherrycoke said:I think that its a deperate act. Its my opinion that loneliness is what pushes people to that type of social interaction. And if I'm right and thats the case then those people need to deal with their co-dependency issues and learn how to be alone before pursuing a relationship.
I think that in reality people who use those wesites are looking for people who will love them, rather than people they could love. Because they could find people to love anywhere. Its kind of selfish I think.

In regards to this comment I will say that things change as you get older in terms of available avenues to meet people. Let me explain. Once you are out of high school and college, you can no longer meet people in class. If you work for a small company, then dating at work is not an option. If you go to a smaller church with no singles, then meeting there is not an option. So, you have to turn somewhere is to open up an avenue for meeting people. Online services is one of those options.ummidrinkcherrycoke said:I think that its a deperate act. Its my opinion that loneliness is what pushes people to that type of social interaction.

Agreed!wvmtnkid said:I agree with msjones and mrstace. I have been on some Christian dating sites. While I never made a "love connection", I did make a really good friend. But you have to be careful. There are wolves in sheeps clothing on them as well. I am not sure I buy into all the testimonies that are posted.
I had some of the same thoughts, that maybe I was trying to help God instead of letting Him show me what He had for me. I did the same thing, I cancelled my membership. I do know they work for some people. But I seem to be convicted that it wasn't how God had it for me. But I wouldn't trade the friend I made. It was worth it to have him as a friend. So, who knows, maybe that was the reason I joined, to have "J" as a friend.charligirl said:........ but interestingly I did not meet my husband until I stopped looking in those places and cancelled my membership! I think I was trying to 'help' God along!! lol

actually, the ones i saw were free with extra options that weren't necessary to meet people with..remy said:They're probably nothing more than regular sites, except you filter out non-Christians. Still gotta pay money and put up with ads.
Personally I think that there's a difference between going on any random forum to talk about any random issue and going to a forum to find a spouse. I come in here to read the opinions of other people and to post my own and thats all there is to it.brettnolan said:I think that's a very misguided notion.

Where do you meet people?
I don't buy it. I might be young at 23 but I don't go to college. I do work for a small company (3 employees) and go to church that has a small singles group. All that and I still have no problem finding a date when I want one. I think that age is an excuse.Personally I meet people through friends, family, people I interact with through work, church or ministry. Just through daily life. If you're socially active you're bound to meet people.mrstace said:In regards to this comment I will say that things change as you get older in terms of available avenues to meet people.

loveandseek.com is pretty good, but not a lot of people. There aren't lot of people on ANY of the Christian sites. I guess they don't want that label on them.mrstace said:Which ones do you all think are the best? Christian Cafe seems to be the best one I looked at, but I didn't think it had very many people.
