Online Dating Experiences Others Have Reported: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

Jordan, a divorced man in his 40’s, could not find a Christian single, despite attending his church’s singles classes. They even offered social gatherings and short trips with other church singles groups in town, so that increased his chances, but Jordan wondered if his limp (caused by an accident) might be turning them off. He was good looking, but shy, and sometimes froze up, just when he wanted to make a good impression. This lead to a serious problem with depression and loneliness. He would not go to bars or secular singles events, but he did try placing a personals ad in the local paper. He had a few responses, but none of them panned out. Two women were actually prostitutes who propositioned him, to no avail. One woman was old enough to be his mother, and another was addicted to prescription drugs and pot. But Jordan analyzed his situation and decided to change the things he could change, namely his low self-esteem, shyness and depression. After reading several self-help books, he realized he needed to reevaluate himself, and develop a positive attitude. He also sought God’s help in prayer, and began memorizing verses that powerfully regenerated and renewed his mind. Then he threw caution to the wind and subscribed to a Christian Dating Service, since he had not found a suitable mate on his own. After several dry runs, he chose a woman who lived about 60 miles away, e-mailed her and they soon became good friends, finally phoning each other often. This relationship is blooming into love, and they are talking about marriage. They want to go slowly because she has a daughter who will need to accept him as a stepfather and they have to decide where they will live, or if he will commute to work, 120 miles each day. I wish I could say that Jordan had read our guide to overcoming loneliness and depression, but he found help in Christian psychology books and seminars. If you want to overcome emotional problems that hold you back, I highly recommend “Grandma’s Guide To Ending Loneliness and Depression” found under Dating Advice or on the site map. It covers many other debilitating emotions that rule people’s lives, and it gives step by step instructions to overcome all of them. It also incorporates humor as a healing balm and it is so positively affirming, it will pump you up! You can renew your mind and change your life. Try it! And please let us know if it has helped you. We want to be a blessing to you, and to draw you even closer to the Lord Of Life, Jesus Christ, who has the power to fulfill you and give you Abundant Life.
