Advice from Pastor Snipes

Online dating can be a convenient way of meeting people if you know how to go about it. A lot of people have had sour experiences from these sites. You meet people there claiming to be who they are not. We live in times when people talk more through the use of technology thus learning how to use these tools will make you successful on the dating scene.

Remember that where righteous children gather, there you will find the children of the devil. There are people out there looking to prey on Christians especially on Christian ladies. They have the belief that Christian ladies are not wayward so will be loyal to them therefore you need to be on your guard always.

Here are steps to observe if you want to jump into the online dating scene.

Firstly never give out too much information about yourself. For the first few months be sure not to give out any personal or contact information other than your phone number. Remember that our world is full of stalkers and all kinds of dangerous people.

Secondly talk generally. Too many women tend to appear desperate when they meet a man online. They ask questions like you ever been in jail and stuff like that. When you just meet a person ask them questions that show you are intelligent.

After this you can move on to questions about their family. There is a belief that a man that treats his mother with respect will respect you and I share that belief.

Thirdly fix meeting in a public place. Whenever you finally think you know the person well enough, never agree to meet them in their house or yours. Ensure you pick a public place such as a park or restaurant for your first two meeting. On the third meeting go for the date with a friend at least the person will just show up and leave. If the person had any ulterior motive they start to rethink because they know you have people who will look for you if anything goes wrong.

Finally, remember to take it up to the Lord in prayer.
