~~Is BC on the up and up??? Have you been scammed by a fake..?~ With all the chatting of scammers and fakes and one's that are on a fast track to finding someone to marry on BC... I have some things to share about his site and mostly dating... for that is what brought me here... to find the love of my life and live happily ever after... and what I have learned has strengthened me in my search!!! As one of the newer members here (5 mo.) and a relatively new Christian (39 mo.)... I can say that changing the way I greet and meet others here and in my life has changed at least 90 degrees... and probably closer to 180 degrees. I can look back at myself and see my selfish past in jumping right in, head first, to a new relationship... then figuring out the issue's and real person that looked so wonderful really has a bag full of insecurities and quirks and area's that I just don't want in my future... then, backing out to leave them broken hearted and hurt... no one needs this added pain in their life!!! So it is new, for me, I have learned to draw a line and become the best friends possible without committing to an intimate relationship in the pursuit of marriage especially without having ever meeting one another in person... let alone committing for life without being in the physical presence of and socializing with the other party. Would I love to meet most everyone here??? YES!!! The key word there is 'MEET' not 'DATE'... I just have to say 'no' to all dating and sometimes 'no' to meeting... the implied physical expectations of some would cross the healthy boundaries of others in developing a solid Christian friendship that leads into a life long relation of marriage and I am requiring that for my future... MEETing in a friendly setting agreeable by both parties with a mutual agenda... NOT DATEing in someone else's home with their hidden agenda... OH SO DANGEROUS!!! Didn't mean to get off this heart of the subject here, however I see the immaturity of others intentions here... mostly wanting a quick fix to feel good for this moment and they live that way, moment to moment in search of a quick feeling and never finding out about the design of God's will in a true Christian relationship!!! So help me out here fellow bloggers and visitors... your opinions are welcome and if you see otherwise, that if fine too... everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I would just like to hear them. Have you had an experience that has changed your dating and meeting life??? Do you have a story that could help another person out in learning the do's and don'ts of online relationships??? Have you been hurt or left someone else hurting because they were not whom you expected them to be in person??? I do believe that I have come closer to many of you through the love and faith shared here on BC... So, what BC claims... "bringing people together in Love and Faith"... to me is true!!!  Let the shine!!! michael |

Michael, I so agree with you. I met a guy on here,who lives close by, he seemed such a gentleman. I told him right a way, we can go for a walk as friends, that is it. We got somewhat closer after a while, visiting each other, but before he left on a vacation, I saw him interacting with a woman, who has helped him for a very long time. It totally threw me off, and I told him right away and later in the mail, that it was absolutely intolerable what he did. He is still trying to stay in touch, but he knows that it's not going to be what he expects. Anyway, I was really good friends with my ex-boyfriend for a year, before anything romantically started, then I left California, and now after over four years, this friendship is getting warm again. We have both learned allot over this time, and if it is God's will he'll visit me soon. But see it was a whole year of great friendship. I don't think that a good relationship can last without the basis of being great friends first. I can see that you probably get a lot of letter from scammers, I get them too, especially when I get the gold membership it gets always worse. I pray that God will protect you and give you wisdom of discernment. I hope you don't mind it when I tease you, it's just for fun. No fishing  Bless you my bro  What God does in our lives during the waiting period is just as important as what we are waiting for. John Ortberg CHRISTIAN WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS

Thankyou for this post Michael, you have raised a very important issue that affects so many here... I have thought on this subject many times, as my life has been affected by ones jumping the gun of friendship for their own needs... And I guess when I very first started to chat to other christians online I was guilty of that too, as I shared in my blog ( my grief my joy) I learnt very quickly to be very careful who I became close friends with too, and that guys usually have an adjenda ( not all guys )But I think the most important issue here is the fact that we all need to find the love we were intended to find and that is the love of GOD.... With many here coming from divorce, there are so many hurt and filled with broken dreams . Only total surrender to our loving saviour can heal our hearts and set us free to love another again.... My prayer for this place is to really show others that there is a wonderful life in being single. God calls us out , appart from romantic relationships to woo us and free us from pain. To set a lamp before our feet that we may walk in HIS plan... To prepair us again for another.... When two people are living for Jesus first , when they have found the art of being single and in love with Jesus.... Thats when love can flow, as it is pure and right. I have stopped dates these last years as the they have wanted to go too fast!!!! I like the slow and steady approach... and besides... your partner neds to be your best friend.. and you cannot develope a friendship over night... Sorry for hogging your blog here Michael.... This is just a subject I feel very strongly about... Thankyou for your post, and I pray that people here at BC, will find true love in knowing Jesus and coming together in LOVE and FAITH.. Blessings Bro'   Netty  Lying in bed would be a truely supreme experience if only I had a coloured pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling

"I do believe that I have come closer to many of you through the love and faith shared here on BC... So, what BC claims... "bringing people together in Love and Faith"... to me is true!!!" I would have to agree with that statement, Michael! I have been on a couple other sites in the past, one being a "Christian" site as well. They don't hold a candle to BC. I have learned that people make up the site. The ones here at BC are wonderful. I've made some great friends who I hope to have for many years to come. On the other end of the spectrum, dating and meeting people, now that's a topic. I guess for the most part in my past I've always been the person to "go after" what I wanted, to chase after the guy I guess is the best way to put it. DONE WITH THAT!  I don't see that it fits Gods plan for the woman to chase after the man. Of course a little bit of friendly flirting is ok now and then. Sometimes you have to let then know your interested, without getting carried away of course. Besides, it is always nice to be flirted with a little, a smile, a wink, a hug, reminds you how special you are and everyone is special.  I have been sought after a couple times and after a time of talking, gone out on a date. I have come to the conclusion that it just to much pressure. I think it is far better #1 to move slowly. We are adults, not kids, we don't and shouldn't be in any big hurry. #2 Starting off on one on one dates is not for me. Going out with a small or large group, church get togethers, outings, concerts, etc. those are the best and honestly the most fun. It is a very causal, relaxed atmosphere where both people are able to have a great time with no pressure or expectations. It allows more time to get to know each other build a friendship first. #3 Being best friends to me is great. I want my spouse to also be my best friend. I'm come across A LOT of scammers and still do, but we just have to use wisdom and discernment and above all guard our hearts! I think it takes time to see where and how someone truly stands as a person and in their relationship with Christ! Having God as the priority in my life, I want Him to be the priority in a relationship as well. God's blessings always, Karen God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world. ~C.S. Lewis~ Time to say goodbye

i feel sorry for those that are geniunely hurting as they are the fast target for the scammers. when i first starting this a few years ago i was very knew to the chatting, the online stuff and everything in general so i was an easy target for the scammers as i like to help people, well i learn over time that i was getting taken but God knows my heart was in the right spot so that is the main thing, but the main is draw attention to it so those with broken hearts already are not hurt anymore, cheers May the Lord bless you and keep you

I think it always comes down to one's commitment to Christ. On an alleged "Christian" site, or any site for that matter, it should be no problem finding out how devoted to serving The Lord someone is. Do they attend church regularly, do they do mission work, Bible study, how often do they read, what do they know from the Bible, who have they saved...all these things are what The Father expects from us and are a good starting point in finding out about someone you are considering dating. I think that anyone can come out of the gate building themselves up but once it's time to really discuss The Word and devotion, a phony gets exposed very easily and runs away. And even beyond that, I am well aware that there are women and men who may know a great deal but could still be "slimy" or cheaters or whatever you want to call it. In ANY potential dating situation, you should never just rush in and commit. You have nothing more valuable to offer than yourself so that person should prove themselves worthy. However I think someone who demonstrates a devotion to pleasing The Lord is a very good start.

Thanks for a great post here Michael. It is very important that we all love and support each other and talk about the real deep issues here on BC. I have been basically single for almost 2 years and had not dated one single time. My friends kept trying to get me to go out, but I was just not interested. I knew in my heart that God would bring the right person at the right time. I have a very good friend that told me 2 years ago that if I wanted to be able to discern God's will, to watch what God does! I began to do that. When God opened a door, I went through. When God did not open the door I walked away from it. Then I had a friend who suggested that I join BC as the thing that I was really needing in my life was just some intellectual conversation. I joined BC with that intent only. I enjoyed the chatting, making friends and of course the blogs. I loved sharing my love of Jesus with others and having other Christians to talk with. Then with no notice whatsoever I began to talk with Todd. We visited on the phone each and every day for 3 months. We prayed together on the phone, discussed our devotions on the phone and decided to meet each other. He came and met my family and friends and not one single person had any reservations about him. I told all of them to really pray and pay attention and point out anything that I was missing. They all really enjoyed his company and we had a great time. Now is the time to wait upon the Lord. We are both still praying and seeking God's will here and will only go through the open door if God opens it!! We are just building a friend ship first and we are not in any hurry. God will show us the right way. So many people are just so lonely that they just take what comes and they always regret it. I do not believe in sex before marriage and neither does Todd. We both feel strongly that we need to take it very slow and allow God to go before us and we just follow along. I am not lonely and have not been lonely. I am in love with my Jesus and he keeps me company My advise to all is to focus on your relationship with Christ first and foremost. Get involved in your church, volunteer in your community. Stay busy and keep your eyes on Christ!!!!! Then you are not lonely and you are not looking for someone or something to fulfill you as you are fulfilled in Christ!Well that is my 10 cents worth Blessings! WendyLynn "A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her." Blessings to All!

Then you are not lonely and you are not looking for someone or something to fulfill you as you are fulfilled in Christ!Well that is my 10 cents worth Blessings! WendyLynn Remember when I wrote in big bold letters "I DON'T DATE" and you kind of giggled and said, "Ok, Ginny, I hear you loud and clear." I wasn't kidding. I guess now you know why but you were a newbie here yourself then. I came here for fellowship that was taken from me by being housebound due to my injury and surgeries. Because I didn't want to be surrounded by the trash on the typical internet chat rooms, etc... I though BC would be different and in my horror or horrors I got stuck in the "CHATS" for a year until I found "Blogland". I really was ripped to shreds plus my own behavior wasn't the true representation of the real me!! I really disliked it and I guess being the "Pollyanna" that I am -(That's actually my nickname in my home town) I just assumed everyone would be that way every way. Now I consider myself a pretty well educated person, but I was a bit naive thinking I could never act that way, so I guess other's won't either and are as "REAL" as my "real life" friends I have. I have TONS from birth and Kindergarten, gathering more as I went thru life and they pretty much all have stayed lifelong friends. So who knew?? I didn't obviously. I stayed in the town I was raised, same block actually. So why would I think anyone here would treat me differently? Silly me!!! Boy did I live a sheltered life or an unrealistic one. Unfortunately, also with life, you would be surprised Michael (or maybe not being your line of work), at how many people say they truly never "knew" the person they married. Whether they lived with them before or not, they somehow "changed" the instant they were married. So tell me then Michael, dear, how will we ever truly "know" someone?? The man I married and was with for 20 year's - he knows nothing about me. You people on the internet know more about my heart and soul, my insides, my dreams... than people who know me 43 years. I never came into this thing for "dating" - only friendship, fellowship, prayer partners. I have made so many life long friends it's been wonderful and it's been not so wonderful. As far as the scammers, I really haven't met too many, but I just paid for a month and here we go. I am getting emails from them now. Even Lesbian ones!!! YIKES!! When I was a free-loader, I didn't get them because I never checked my winks or who viewed me. I only checked my emails and my friends only emailed me. Now scammers are emailing because I pay. Something sounds very wrong there. Mostly I get a laugh out of it and really can spot them now a mile away. Still shocks me. I have been very happily single - although I do miss the physical of even just being given a big bear hug and closing my eyes and receiving it. But remember, I didn't have the "physical" for 20 years in my marriage. I really don't know what it will be like to have a "real" true, blessed by God physical relationship. So I wait. Like a nun, my whole life. But then it is God's will that I do. But I will never lie and say I do not wonder what that would be like to have. I do wonder what that is like?? I never had it. That's like being deprived ice cream your whole adult life and saying - do you miss it - HECK YES!! Sure! I am a human real life healthy woman. However, in God's time, under God's will. Only way now. I just loved my friendships here that are growing and the conversations and advice and prayer I always get the best from BC. However, when feelings are sent my way, it always ruins it and I can't stand that part because I am perfectly happy with the way things were. In fact the last time it happened I was stunned and clueless. Of course then I start over evaluating my feelings, wondering how it suddenly happened, and uh oh - I was perfectly happy just talking and what a mess. It just ruins it all around. I made it a deal to no longer accept conversation with any more males than I already have in my circle of friends right now. My female and women friendships take priority any day. I don't feel people of the opposite sex should minister to someone of the opposite sex and I do believe I blogged this as an observation of successful long term Christian marriages. This is just my opinion. I do not want to lose the friends I have and I really do have a handful of really close ones that can help me understand the strange male species objectively. So, I think I will keep them. If they still want to keep me that is.I made a standard answer return email when people email me now. I politely refuse and state my stand on females only bonding and ministering. But then I figured, I really don't owe anyone any explanation, so now I just ignore and delete. I love the prayers and lifting up of spirits, the bonding, the sharing, the celebrating with triumphs, etc.... That's why I came to BC and I'm glad I found the Blogs. If something comes out of a beautiful long term friendship, and the man will have to be walking only for the LORD. I won't walk with him or plan a future if he is not!!!...... I'd be willing to investigate, maybe. I would have to know and I will let GOD lead if it's HIS will and then and only then I will proceed. But if it's HIS will, then it will just happen, love will flow and it will just happen and I will know, I hope, when I will know.  I hope!!   (I don't care what Pat says, I love that smiley!!) Oh goodness, as usual, I think I wrote too much, sorry. Aren't you glad you asked us all???Peace and love always, Ginny * Sin is sin.

womdeful post. I've been on this site for a whole year and I've learned many, many lessons here, lessons that I would not have learned anywere else, I've been on other sites 3 to be exact, I've seen others here that i've seen on this other sites as well and i've asked myself why the need to be on several sites, then I look at the reasons why I've been there too and, I guess sometimes is out of curiosity, at least that's been my reason why, I have found the people from this site are unique in the sense that i do see Jesus in them, people here interact in a much better way, I came to bc becouse I felt led by the spirit, not to look for a husband, I'm happily single yet, I'm not closed to the idea of someday letting a godly man into my life as I was before i came here. But i will continue to wait on the Lord, I'm in no hurry. Life is an adventure.

Friendship and fellowship and God's will and timing... It doesnt get any better than that!!! I will pray for you and your hearts desire...

And some of those men that hide behind those female pictures can see your sensitivity...?!?

However I think someone who demonstrates a devotion to pleasing The Lord is a very good start. Hmmmmmm.....  I feel another post coming on!!!Blessings!!! Let the SON shine!!! michael

Thanks for a great post here Michael. It is very important that we all love and support each other and talk about the real deep issues here on BC. I have been basically single for almost 2 years and had not dated one single time. My friends kept trying to get me to go out, but I was just not interested. I knew in my heart that God would bring the right person at the right time. I have a very good friend that told me 2 years ago that if I wanted to be able to discern God's will, to watch what God does! I began to do that. When God opened a door, I went through. When God did not open the door I walked away from it. Then I had a friend who suggested that I join BC as the thing that I was really needing in my life was just some intellectual conversation. I joined BC with that intent only. I enjoyed the chatting, making friends and of course the blogs. I loved sharing my love of Jesus with others and having other Christians to talk with. Then with no notice whatsoever I began to talk with Todd. We visited on the phone each and every day for 3 months. We prayed together on the phone, discussed our devotions on the phone and decided to meet each other. He came and met my family and friends and not one single person had any reservations about him. I told all of them to really pray and pay attention and point out anything that I was missing. They all really enjoyed his company and we had a great time. Now is the time to wait upon the Lord. We are both still praying and seeking God's will here and will only go through the open door if God opens it!! We are just building a friend ship first and we are not in any hurry. God will show us the right way. So many people are just so lonely that they just take what comes and they always regret it. I do not believe in sex before marriage and neither does Todd. We both feel strongly that we need to take it very slow and allow God to go before us and we just follow along. I am not lonely and have not been lonely. I am in love with my Jesus and he keeps me company My advise to all is to focus on your relationship with Christ first and foremost. Get involved in your church, volunteer in your community. Stay busy and keep your eyes on Christ!!!!! Then you are not lonely and you are not looking for someone or something to fulfill you as you are fulfilled in Christ!Well that is my 10 cents worth Blessings! WendyLynn Blessings sister!!! Let the SON shine!!! michael

Michael, I actually agree with Wendylyn. Remember when I wrote in big bold letters "I DON'T DATE" and you kind of giggled and said, "Ok, Ginny, I hear you loud and clear." I wasn't kidding. I guess now you know why but you were a newbie here yourself then. I came here for fellowship that was taken from me by being housebound due to my injury and surgeries. Because I didn't want to be surrounded by the trash on the typical internet chat rooms, etc... I though BC would be different and in my horror or horrors I got stuck in the "CHATS" for a year until I found "Blogland". I really was ripped to shreds plus my own behavior wasn't the true representation of the real me!! I really disliked it and I guess being the "Pollyanna" that I am -(That's actually my nickname in my home town) I just assumed everyone would be that way every way. Now I consider myself a pretty well educated person, but I was a bit naive thinking I could never act that way, so I guess other's won't either and are as "REAL" as my "real life" friends I have. I have TONS from birth and Kindergarten, gathering more as I went thru life and they pretty much all have stayed lifelong friends. So who knew?? I didn't obviously. I stayed in the town I was raised, same block actually. So why would I think anyone here would treat me differently? Silly me!!! Boy did I live a sheltered life or an unrealistic one. Unfortunately, also with life, you would be surprised Michael (or maybe not being your line of work), at how many people say they truly never "knew" the person they married. Whether they lived with them before or not, they somehow "changed" the instant they were married. So tell me then Michael, dear, how will we ever truly "know" someone?? The man I married and was with for 20 year's - he knows nothing about me. You people on the internet know more about my heart and soul, my insides, my dreams... than people who know me 43 years. I never came into this thing for "dating" - only friendship, fellowship, prayer partners. I have made so many life long friends it's been wonderful and it's been not so wonderful. As far as the scammers, I really haven't met too many, but I just paid for a month and here we go. I am getting emails from them now. Even Lesbian ones!!! YIKES!! When I was a free-loader, I didn't get them because I never checked my winks or who viewed me. I only checked my emails and my friends only emailed me. Now scammers are emailing because I pay. Something sounds very wrong there. Mostly I get a laugh out of it and really can spot them now a mile away. Still shocks me. I have been very happily single - although I do miss the physical of even just being given a big bear hug and closing my eyes and receiving it. But remember, I didn't have the "physical" for 20 years in my marriage. I really don't know what it will be like to have a "real" true, blessed by God physical relationship. So I wait. Like a nun, my whole life. But then it is God's will that I do. But I will never lie and say I do not wonder what that would be like to have. I do wonder what that is like?? I never had it. That's like being deprived ice cream your whole adult life and saying - do you miss it - HECK YES!! Sure! I am a human real life healthy woman. However, in God's time, under God's will. Only way now. I just loved my friendships here that are growing and the conversations and advice and prayer I always get the best from BC. However, when feelings are sent my way, it always ruins it and I can't stand that part because I am perfectly happy with the way things were. In fact the last time it happened I was stunned and clueless. Of course then I start over evaluating my feelings, wondering how it suddenly happened, and uh oh - I was perfectly happy just talking and what a mess. It just ruins it all around. I made it a deal to no longer accept conversation with any more males than I already have in my circle of friends right now. My female and women friendships take priority any day. I don't feel people of the opposite sex should minister to someone of the opposite sex and I do believe I blogged this as an observation of successful long term Christian marriages. This is just my opinion. I do not want to lose the friends I have and I really do have a handful of really close ones that can help me understand the strange male species objectively. So, I think I will keep them. If they still want to keep me that is.I made a standard answer return email when people email me now. I politely refuse and state my stand on females only bonding and ministering. But then I figured, I really don't owe anyone any explanation, so now I just ignore and delete. I love the prayers and lifting up of spirits, the bonding, the sharing, the celebrating with triumphs, etc.... That's why I came to BC and I'm glad I found the Blogs. If something comes out of a beautiful long term friendship, and the man will have to be walking only for the LORD. I won't walk with him or plan a future if he is not!!!...... I'd be willing to investigate, maybe. I would have to know and I will let GOD lead if it's HIS will and then and only then I will proceed. But if it's HIS will, then it will just happen, love will flow and it will just happen and I will know, I hope, when I will know. I hope!! (I don't care what Pat says, I love that smiley!!) Oh goodness, as usual, I think I wrote too much, sorry. Aren't you glad you asked us all???Peace and love always, Ginny You have great responses Ginny... yes long, though very heart felt and filled with wisdom... thank you!!!It is great to have close friends here and I hope they will last a lifetime!!!Blessings Ginny!!! Let the SON shine!!! michael

womdeful post. I've been on this site for a whole year and I've learned many, many lessons here, lessons that I would not have learned anywere else, I've been on other sites 3 to be exact, I've seen others here that i've seen on this other sites as well and i've asked myself why the need to be on several sites, then I look at the reasons why I've been there too and, I guess sometimes is out of curiosity, at least that's been my reason why, I have found the people from this site are unique in the sense that i do see Jesus in them, people here interact in a much better way, I came to bc becouse I felt led by the spirit, not to look for a husband, I'm happily single yet, I'm not closed to the idea of someday letting a godly man into my life as I was before i came here. But i will continue to wait on the Lord, I'm in no hurry. I, too, seriously now... have found BC to be a great interactive site and full of many real believers... and some fakes... and some knuckle heads... though mostly great people who are sincere in their walk with God!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Let the SON shine!!! michael

What a great post... I've been on and off here since 2005 with the intention of - whatever, wasn't really sure, but did want to meet someone. I'm coming from a whole different perspective to most. I've been a christian for around 27 years now, and have always been single and never been asked on a date by a christian male (non believers - yes; almost married one - but that's a whole other story). I've met some really nice people - just not in my own country let alone my city - until this third round of BC. It was always my belief that in this unusual situation you need to be emailing for quite a while, then phone calls and then meet for a coffee with well defined boundaries - and it is not necessary to tell everyone you met everything about you in the first 5 minutes. It takes time to know someone, anyone, anywhere. So finally, I've managed to have a coffee with one man, turns out he was not able to deal with a piece of information about me and chose to not respond about it when asked... can someone please help me understand the lack of ability to communicate - I think I like conflict resolution, maybe I just like to tidied up loose ends... lol So, I'm still emailing a couple of people, but am getting tired of the always starting out new, the same things and not getting much past that into more deeper conversations... however, that is starting to happen... But whatever Jesus is the only true lover of my soul and He is the author and perfecter of my life... I'm still enjoying the journey. God bless Kaye One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple. Psalm 27:4

Hi Michael33333, Thank you for the wonderful site. As a new member, I have learned so much from your observation and members comments. I am now well equiped to avoid common mistakes like disire for fast dates, and falling in live with unreachable strangers! Scammers are here to stay. Our job as true christians is to only discern them but also win them over for Jesus christ. Imagine the growth in the Kingdom of Heaven if each scammer changes his/her ways? We must not them loose to wreck havoc on the lonely hearts of genuine seekers? Well, to speak for myself, I am a lonely heart from Kenya and I do believe God has a purpose for letting my life progress towards this loneliness in the first place. I am down on my knees praying for a suitable partner and believe He will reveal the man for me when that time comes. Finally, allow me to make a prayer request for my beloved country. Many have been killed, maimed and displaced from their homes after political differences along tribal lines errupted here. Considering we never had a choice as to which tribe we want to be born in to let alone country and race, it is unfair that we have to suffer for the error(s) of a few polical elites whose only link with us is tribe! For this reason, I find the scenario quite confusing hence my prayer request. I nevertheless remember to thank my God for giving me a chance to make this request in the first place. I know your prayers will make a lot of difference. God bless.

Hi Terry (racefan4) that is most terrible. I cant imagine how bad that would have been for you. Did you ever concider that maybe someone just happened to him though? It could be that he was killed perhaps. I mean it would be strange from the scammers point of view, if he was one, to just stop seeing you after he had made all that effert? food for thought. you could verify the passport? check the death notices? did he have any family the you know of? obviously if i am right, you will still have pain but at least you wont feel cheated. God bless Kev Delete

Kaye my heart goes out to you in this i really feel for you and for what its worth I had a very enjoyable time chatting with you and you seem a very nice lady.

I certainly agree slow and steady is the way, make friend first and keep the passion out of it. Once you get physical you can loose all rational thinking. many people fall in love (lust?) with someone and dont even know them. they find out a few months later that they dont even like the person they "fell in love with" food for thought.

Hi Michael, I've just read your comment about dating and BC and I totally agree with you. How can a person truly get to know someone through a pc. It's so easy for people to put on a completely different persona to who they really are. A few years ago I was misled by someone who I thought was real. It turned out he was approaching 6 other ladies from my country with marriage proposals. Looking back I was completely gullible and naive. I think I got caught up in the 'fantasy' realm of the internet. I'm now more wiser and careful. It was a hard lesson to learn but an important one. I think it's best to be friends first before 'anything' can happen. That's the way it should be whether getting to know a person online or in person. You're doing a good thing. Well done

There are many lessons which I've learned since being on BC and from the Christian singles at my church, one gentleman in particular and my relationship with him that lasted 18 months: Don't rush. Patience. Patience. Patience. (That's for me. LO  Set boundaries Don't compromise your boundaries and beliefs. Always, ALWAYS seek God's direction and discernment. PRAY! PRAY! PRAY! And on this site, I always get the input of a trusted female friend. I have her read the profile and give me her feedback. And perhaps, if you don't mind, Michael, I shall ask for your input, too....because as a man, I'm certain you can see things I don't. If a man doesn't disclose his denomination or marital status, it's time to move on. There have been many profiles that I've read that left me wondering if they hadn't read my profile first and created their profile based on mine. Hmmmmm...... Something to ponder. Blessed by another wonderful post. Thank you, Michael. Deborah

I am so sorry for your experience Jacintha4... and i have 2 things to say about that... first has to do with your children and boundries... I think what you are doing to protect you and your kids is a good boundry... second is there are a few good guys and gals here... well more than a few... however a single bad apple can spoil every one... and I hope in your case everything didnt get spoiled... May God grant you with a true and genuine man of your dreams!!! michael Let the SON shine!!! michael

There have been many profiles that I've read that left me wondering if they hadn't read my profile first and created their profile based on mine. Hmmmmm...... Something to ponder. Blessed by another wonderful post. Thank you, Michael. Deborah michaelLet the SON shine!!! michael

Hey Christy... I am sorry for the time you spent and everything you and your man from Alaska went through to end up departing... this just shows how tough it is to tend a relationship online and expect it to be the same and even better once you meet in person... Thanks for sharing your experience and I hope it will shed light on someone else's online endeavor's to grow a relationship... I appreciate your story!!! God bless you my friend!!! michael Let the SON shine!!! michael

All I can say is AMEN! Guarding our hearts is big with God. I've really been noticing how much He talks about it in the Bible. He expects us to guard our hearts and He also promises to guard our hearts. God is the matchmaker I trust...He'll bring the right person to the right place at the right time. I've asked that He identify the right person with a flashing neon arrow pointing the the man's head and a loud audible voice from heaven stating, "This is him, Nora." I suspect that God will be more subtle than that...but I'm excited to see how He works it out.

Thanks Wendy Lynn, That was a very good reminder for me (i.e. keep your mind focused on Jesus in everything you do). No matter who you are, to stay open, as you can always receive wisdom from another brother or sister in the Lord. And thank you for sharing your story. May God's richest and best continue to be yours, as you continue to go forth in giving your all toward Him. Wanda

My first question, Where have you all been? I have been looking for REAL people in here since joining. At any rate, good to find you all. And thanks Micheal for reaching out and touching someone, as I think I was too busy doing the search, to remember simple kindness is what should govern us as christians. As a result of your reaching out, you brought me into a world of association with some real christians through your blog here. I am thankful that you all have taken the time to share your experiences. My reasons for coming to the site, was to broaden my acquaintances, especially in knowing others from around the world, and of other nationalities who's heart for knowing Jesus more was as big as mine, and who didn't care about what nationality another brother and sister was in Christ, so long as they loved the same Jesus that they loved. Since moving here to MS, I have had good fellowship with other believers through my church, but a limited fellowship in terms of multiple ethnic groups, which is what I was used to. I have yet to discover how to bridge this gap between chrisitians of multiple nationalities here in MS, as it is such a segregated one. At any rate, it is a blessing to find a site in BC where you have the opportunity to chat with so many from different walks of life and backgrounds, whose desire is to serve the Lord and come to know Him better through daily relationship with Him. On a side note, does anyone in here know how to get the smilies to work in the emails in here? My experience with online chatting has been pretty limited. I had joined a few other sites some time ago, but cancelled memberships in them after a time of not meeting the right people for fellowship. Perhaps my goals were off, and that's why I needed to cancel the memberships there. At any rate, through doing a search, I found this site, and when joining felt such a peace in it, that I decided to stay. I did learn about the scammers through another site, so I guess those sites could have served as pre-warners on the whole scamming bit. I want to thank all of you who put your stories in here, as they reminded me of what my search should be, to simply meet good Godly people, and share and fellowship, not looking for Mr. Right, as I'm sure in due time and good season, he will appear. Wanda

Thanks Michael! I will keep all of ya up to date on how things go. I am going to NJ in February to meet his dad, brother, and children. I have been in prayer on this and see that God is opening the doors. As always, I am allowing the Lord to go before me and I am just following along. I so appreciate the prayers from all of you!

Wanda You asked the following questions... Where have you all been? Thats kinda how I felt once I came here and learned how to navigate this area... I have only been here 5 months or so... You will have to ask Bil... aka Dundeal how long he has been here and you will learn more than I can explain or share... Does anyone in here know how to get the smilies to work in the emails in here? A couple ways... you can use the simley icon on the preferences bar and click on them there... the other is to memorize the smiley scale and uc=se them for mamority...

Michael, Thank you so much for writing on this topic. It is so nice to hear from other people who have dealt with the deceivers and scammers. When I first decided that I was ready to meet someone and I joined BC, I was naive to all the tactics. A year has passed and I don't feel the same as when I first joined. I am no longer worried about meeting the right man. When God is ready, that is when it will happen. It is always nice to meet other Christians and make new friends. God Bless Michael for your ministry here at BC!

There are too many idiots online. Just have to trust your judgement. I made an online mistake once and learned from it. God can teach you what to look for. You just have to listen. I'm glad I did. I have the right man for me cuz I learned to listen to God and the instincts he gave me. I guess I needed to fall flat on my face that one time so God could show me that I can't choose a "mate" on my own. I really did need God's help. Now look at how ridiculously happy I am. From my heart & head to yours, Pea

Hi there, I am Joanie and I am not a scammer. LOL, I been approached by several from this chat room and website but luckily for me, I was/am not that desperate needing someone to love me. As the old saying goes, I was born at night, just not last night. The Lord is good, and faithful........Talking, sharing, and taking your time is the only way to know someone, and definately praying for the Lord's will in each relationship is the key. Use sound judgement too, the thing that I also learned from my experiences is that people will try to scam you, using threats, and guilt, but the dream of being accepted for who you are doesn't, I was in love with a dream, more than the person. Funny how things work out. One practice I do with any relationship, here or there, is pray, bring it before the Lord, and ask him to shut or open those doors. He is my Abba Father, and he knows my heart, he is in control of my heart, and he has never lead me wrong. God is good to his kids, and he loves us with words that can not be spoken, for we could not handle that depth and width of emotion. Joanie

Just be careful Michael. People aren't what they seem. Inside or Out. But what's scary aren't so much the people who deceive about their outer appearance as you have mentioned on a couple blog posts today. The ones I'd be terrified more of are the ones who are pretending about their inner beauty and stability and that's frightening. Let's not leave out the obvious scammers are criminal. What's even worse is when someone is all three of these things. It's good to warn people to be careful and alert to avoid getting serious with these types. I am out and about on BC for quite some time and have seen and taken in alot. Observing many for 2 years and I am not sure I am liking something I am observing now. Thank you Michael for posting this Blog because it will help the newbies here keep their guard up!! Love to chat with you again sometime soon!! ((hugs)) Ginny * Sin is sin. Careful what comes across your lips & out your finger tips!!! * We are all the Body of Christ. Let's treat each other as such, with the same respect we give to HIM!! * Relationship advice: DO NOT make someone a PRIORITY, when they ONLY make you an OPTION!! * A woman's heart should be so lost in God, that a man has to seek HIM in order to find her!!

Why the games and scams? I see so many people playing with somebody else's emotions. Our Father made us in pairs, we will look for our mate forever, until we find them and until the Lord pair us up. Treat the person you are exploring right now, the same way you want the person in your mate's life right now, to treat your future partner. We will have so many less unhurt people out there. Why not rather add value to the crown of God's creation, than more scars. The Lord gave us a gift called love, let us not abuse it. I think we need to pray for these people, they are using the Lord's name with hidden agendas. We know that we are accountable to God for our actions, they don't, can you imagine the road they have to travel and the lessons they have to learn. I feel sorry for them, even more so for their victims. As a daughter of the King, I know that He is preparing my soul mate, as I am being prepared. I have had my fair share of scammers but refuse to believe that all guys are the same. Because I know that the love that God gave us, is also there for me to share. If you hang on to the feelings of hurt and humiliation you may miss the opportunity that is presented to you. You may even end up hurting the next person that comes into your life. Hi there, just had to pop in to say hi.

Ok, Mikey, Here it goes.... First of all, although this is the first time i have ever done this in my entire life, I could see why women need that quick fix. It's not that they are intentionally trying to used anyone, it's just that they are hurt and they are devastated and want comfort. This is what I did after my husband of 21 years left me. And I am still not clear why. Maybe they aren't clear either. They need comfort and validation from you. And you can help them by pointing they to Christ. To what His word says about them. How they are validated and valued by Him. And that they don't need to do anything to prove their love for Him. they just need to accept His love. Show that how comforting He is...that circumstances will change from moment, from day to day, but He is their constant! Their everlasting love. And their Healer! Then they will see that the comfort they seek is not to be found in men or the things of this world but in Him. Try to be a little understanding and patient. I do believe you are on your way, but maybe you could have a little softer heart. Blessings! Rose Rose Romans 8:38,39

With the busy schedules and for the men of God whom are firmly planted in their communities... long distance relationships would seem most difficult... I do agree with learning about and getting to know the true heart of another... It just seems to me that even if the right person lived 5 miles away and was a true christian seeking Gods will and you are the one for them... that healthy boundries could be established and obeyed... and you could keep all christian morals!!!
