Midnight Confessions

Regarding on-line romance, unless you have the wherewithal to possibly leading to marriage you should not even attempt to pursue initiating such a relationship. These are real people here and not virtual. People can really get hurt and suffer loss and heartbreak. You cannot in good conscience simply delete them if things go south. That's not right. What this member did was unconscionable.

On line has become so callous. People will ghost one another or swipe left (or right, whichever direction it is)
There is so much to choose from they think nothing of leaving one for someone whom they think is more attractive.
It really is quite heartless. Having said that many do meet online and it all works out. It just depends on the individuals.
My advice would be do not fall so quickly for someone online as you really are just dealing with words and the person behind the words can be manipulating the whole time.

And we should ALL be taking EVERYTHING to Him first, perhaps that is why the online relationships that DO work are successful, that He used that way to bring His two together?

too good to only put in SYM-

not sure you can even have a relationship online ...

an imaginary one maybe. Why would you want to' fall ' for someone again? As in, fall in a trap. and why would you do it? Bored? Got nothing better to do?

News flash. People lie. Men talk a lot of rubbish, they'll be married and then come online trying to groom younger women to be their mistresses, cos they cant do it any other way. as has been known to happen.

Whatever.

its like David oh Bathsheba was bathing naked right in front of my eyes! Nevermind that Im married, shes married, its my right as a King to sleep with her. God approves of everything I do cos Im da man.

ok.
whatever.

Real life can be just as dysfunctional, if not worse. But... I totally agree that too many people view others online as textual inputs and not human beings. It's why they prefer to be online, IMO. They have, in an environment such as this, a relationship they can control. If you grow bored with someone, you don't have to go through some awkward separation process or, gasp, you don't have to try to work it out. No, you can just slap someone on ignore. Easy peazy.

This has been my issue with these kinds of forums for years. Chat sites, dating sites, sites like this... even the Christian ones are not safe from such nonsense.

What, they don't care for giant dinos???

My experiences online have been quite frustrating. Back in the 90s it was much better. Today, it's become a kind of holodeck for most people. You think that's funny? I don't.

this thread has also taken a detour

hmm

I was just going to confess a friend said she was broke and couldnt go out I just said well call me when you not broke as she didnt want to just hang out somewhere for free. She was the one who wanted to go to a restaurant and asked me to pick her up.

Im not covering her for not being wise with money, even if you on a fixed income, as prices are going up and everyones probably broke these days, so nobody is going to bother going out for no reason other than to spend money are they.

It might teach her to save, unless shes spending all her money on vapes again - I didnt ask.

If I cant afford to go to something, I'll just say I cant go. Or its not in my budget.
