what do u think about the virtual relationships?

[missmuffet]

 

 

I personally do not see this specific site for dating but rather to come and read and discuss God's word. There are exclusive dating sites to do such thing. I would be cautious; I for sure agree with all that the people had said. welcome!

Why would someone use this messageboard for a dating site

duh! if someone is asking about virtual relationship what does that sound LOL.

 

First of all I did not know she was discussing a Christian Messageboard.Excuse me if I am naive but a Christian website does not seem like the most appropriate place to play "virtual relationship".

Hello and WELCOME to Worthy. I hope that you enjoy the fellowship here as much as I do. One can have Christian fellowship as a member of the Body of Christ and remain completely anonymous. If you want more than that, there are Christian dating sites to join. I know this is not the purpose of Worthy. Personally, I don't recommend online relationships or too much sharing of personal information online. It isn't even safe in many cases because you have no idea what kind of person you're trying to have a relationship with. Just my two cents worth.

I can only assume, due to your profile photo (likely taken for some other purpose/used in another online account), featuring the enticing, cherry red lips of a woman with intentions (no problem...just noticed... ), that your inquiry is dealing with *intimate relationships.

 

As a matter-of-fact, I actually have a bit of relative experience with such.  They can be great (building a relationship primarily on learning about the person's character, other natural human instinctive desires generally taking a back-seat), but they can also be extremely difficult and/or frustrating -- and far too easy to just drop, leaving one or both parties feeling terrible.

 

I had one relationship (though it was never even "privately" agreed upon, just many, many exchanged MSGs), with a girl that lives in the same city as I do, but I couldn't handle her aloofness and refusal to admit she was thinking seriously about us, so it ended up bringing out the worst in me...as an immature college student, at the time.

 

Shortly after ceasing "relationally-building" conversation with her, I was befriended by another young woman that fell in LOVE with me (this was on faceBook).  Of course, I ended up beginning a long-distance rtelationship with her (she lives 13,000 miles away), but due to a surprising but not completely un-Christian change of character in her, I quickly ended it between us...perhaps too quickly.

 

Rather soon after that, God brought me a third, ultra-fresh young woman (from another country).  I began a *very long-distance relationship with her and it was great...for about 2 years.  (this includes her ridiculous, youthful emotional battles: one minute, she'd love me, the next, she'd hate me -- I had expected as much, given her age (18), but it was amplified about a million times due to the fact of her culture/family had babied her throughout all her life (she's from Indonesia)).  She broke up with me (again) a few weeks ago, and I'm not sure whether I want to continue pursuing her or not, as we have **extremely different views of Christianity/Jesus.  (she -- and her entire culture/church -- is far too legalistic and I'm trying to show her God's grace in my dealings with her, but it is tough...I'm only human, after all.

 

So, now that I've (hopefully) given you some due perspectives on the topic, my final advice is to: "flow with the unforced rhythms of grace," trusting in the new heart God promised in Jer. 30, and confirmed in 2 Cor. 3, have fun, and BE CAREFUL!  If you want to pursue a "virtual relationship, have at it, but it can be extremely trying, perhaps more-so than a corporeal one...

 

God bless you, dear!
