Hold Off With The Rose Colored Spectacles: Use Discernment, Christian Singles!

Another obvious Christian singles’ dating disaster is what I call the “Cyber-Lizard” (borrowed from the term Lounge Lizard, a ne’er do well, who just slithers along, looking for some entertainment, at your expense. The Cyber-Lizard is usually male, but there are a few female Cyber Lizards out there, too, so men, be forewarned. They have no intention of finding a mate; they just want some attention and they don’t mind wasting hours of your time. They probably spam several men or women at once with the same form letter, just changing the salutation. It might be hard to spot them at first, but you should see a pattern emerge. They won’t be very interested in your views, opinions, or dreams, and probably won’t remember what you said in a previous e-mail! They will prove to be just as lukewarm about the Lord, too, which should send you packing! They probably won’t seem eager to meet, but would rather prolong the cyber-relationship forever.

Like the Cyber-Lizard, the Raunchy-mouthed Recluse uses chat rooms and personals ads just to while away their time. They are generally unemployed or underemployed, possibly on the dole. In other words, they have a lot of time on their hands. This may be their only social outlet, and more than likely, their parents are happy to pay for their use of dating and friendship services, since it keeps them busy and out of their hair. It isn’t a crime to waste another’s time, so the family thinks they have solved their problems when the Recluse finds online diversions that keep him or her occupied. You can spot the Recluse by the language they use. If they are vulgar, report them to the dating service at once so they can be removed from the list. They will not be bright, but will communicate at about a 6^th grade level. If you ever wondered who would send vulgar e-mails, this is it! Picture them, unkempt, hair matted, and dirty. Loners, due to their own laziness. Some of the potty mouths are obnoxious under-achievers, mad at the world and want to tell everyone off. They are incapable of communicating intelligently. Their interests will seem juvenile, because they are. I’m sure you will catch on to them early, so they should only be a momentary irritation.
