People agreeing to go on blind / online dates only to realise upon meeting that the person hid some key details. Either they have kids that they failed to mention, they may be still living with exes or their profile pics are older and dont reflect how they currently look- weight gain etc. What do ou think of this and what biblical principles can be applied I've never understood people who meet strangers from the internet for private social meetings hoping to find "the one" or even just some companionship WITHOUT asking questions of the people. I would ask so many questions that it would surely turn off any prospective stranger. Far too many people either [1] don't ask questions, [2] don't look up these people on other social media, or [3] fall for and beieve everything they are told. THEN they get mad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most dating sites have a vetting process. People can misrepresent themselves through any medium or even in person. It's actually a better bet to meet online sometimes than seeing someone in church or at the grocery store. A benefit for a man is he knows the woman is looking or at least has interest whereas through other means he might be interested in someone who has zero interest. Knowing something about the person beforehand can be helpful. There were Christian dating sites. And remember, they have to know what you are all about too. Getting to know another person is a process. Don't go looking at brides from Russia or any of the sites women use to escape their country in exchange for marriage.That should be common sense.

Well, I doubt she was hiding anything when he met her with her kids (as the picture shows). Perhaps she only wanted to see his reactions, good or bad. Her concern for her children may have been more important than just having a good time. I don't know what it 'feels' like to be a single mom. I remember the overwhelming responsibility I had when I had three children that my wife and I were entrusted to raise. She did the vast majority of work/teaching them while I brought home the beans. It was great having a helpmate, but was also years of learning and work, and that was with two of us, not a single mom. Perhaps this mom was actually looking for a man, a real man who might enjoy having a ready made family whom he could love. I met my wife on a blind date sort-of, when my cousin living with me had girlfriend come over to go swimming and had a friend with her, unknown to us. My future wife, whom I knew nothing about. We were opposites, and fit together nicely. (50yrs, A Godsend-literally) Online dating is only the result of today's social climate, screen time communication. No more face to face. (Like right now as I type, you only know what I reveal about myself, and what you try to read between the lines) Should we meet in actuality, your anticipated perception of my face and personality will probably be nothing like what you finally encounter. And people want it right now, instant gratification, and get online dating services and can almost order a date from Amazon or E Bay. I do not believe these people are that desperate. But it is a socially accepted alternative to meet without the hassle of waiting/looking for Mr/Ms right, in person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
