Meeting someone online, Pro's/con's

[Danny63]

I am interested in what yous guys think about meeting someone online, not just online but maybe even in a different country.

I met someone about 2 years ago, we are both born again believers, but yet God still has not given either one of us the ability to meet, and I am not so sure if that will ever happen. Mostly a financial issue with us both.
How long would you wait on the Lord to answer?

Do you think not hearing a yes in two years is a "no".

Would love your input.

I've never "meet" someone on line in terms of a relationship, but I've known people who have. In fact a good friend of my wife and I, meet a man on line and they recently married. There was a distance of about 250 miles within the same state, but they connected on line, meet, would see each other. He seemed like a great guy when we meet him, and they have been married for over a year now.

From where I stand I'd say the pro's are you have a wider range to meet others and perhaps you can narrow down interest a little better. The Con's would be distance and the anonymity the internet provides. How do you know the person is who they say they are? That type of thing.

I'm sure someone on this forum could give you better advice on it, but I'd think if you have been conversing this long and have not been able to physically meet......I'd say it's not in the cards.

That is exactly what I am afraid to face, that it has been this long and we yet to have meet.
You make a good point about not knowing who someone is really, even though we spent many hours together online, on skype where we can see and talk, (in a Christian manner) still there is that fear is this real?

Someone once said patience is a virtue and to just be patient, but I have been for 2 yrs, lol. God has met every financial need I have, every one of them, yet this one still remains unsolved, and I have to face reality one of these days, yet I still want to think God is saying be patient.
But hey God I am 47 now I would like someone before I get to old to see & hear anymore.
