I recently heard a story of a \u2018date gone wrong\u2019…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A young couple, back in the day, were planning a day trip together. This was when you had to use a printed timetable to figure out your bus route. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The girl spent ages sorting the timings, painstakingly planning the route. The guy agreed to the plans – 6.10am at the bus stop, see you there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She arrives the next morning, a little early in all fairness. She waits and the boy is a no show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In her frustration she hops on the next bus to his house, battering on the front door a little after 6am. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one answers, everyone is still asleep. The girl isn\u2019t pleased to say the least, being stood up so early in the day is not a good start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He eventually emerges to a grumpy girl and despite the delay they decide to give the trip a go anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Years later despite this blip, they\u2019re married. But she still hasn\u2019t forgotten. The man says, \u201cIn my defence, if you asked anyone who knew me, there was no way I\u2019d have made it out for then.\u201d They laugh, but she still shakes her head a bit\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s the problem with dating, it\u2019s never all smooth sailing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christian dating then is no exception. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From mixed up plans, unexpected illnesses, catfishing, ghosting and more, dating on or offline is a big old bag of ups and downs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a world where many think that Christian dating is just a conveyor belt of perfect matches and shotgun weddings, the reality is that the Christian dating scene isn\u2019t always what Christian singles expect it to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Often in dating we like to look towards the good news and success stories, for hope if nothing else!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But sometimes it\u2019s good to take an honest look and ask – What\u2019s wrong with Christian dating?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s explore\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
