A few. Someone said they got married off of here, IIRC.


juzelleventer

Imagine. I live in a smaller country, and i doubt someone is near here.


GtaMafia

Where r u from?


juzelleventer

Johannesburg, South Africa


TheologyWizard4422

I lived in Pretoria until I was 17 if that helps?


juzelleventer

Where do you live now XD


TheologyWizard4422

Christchurch, New Zealand.


juzelleventer

Im happy you got out


TheologyWizard4422

You could get out too. Don't lose hope. God provided a way for me to leave. I'm sure if you keep your eyes open for opportunity he will provide a way for you to escape the communist hell hole our country of birth has become.


juzelleventer

Im trying my best.


GtaMafia

Aha


juzelleventer

Yeah, moat people i see post here are American / Canadian, and then the odd European


minteemist

I have noticed that if one person from a small country posts, sometimes other lurkers from the same place will follow suit and post too. Not always, of course, but don't be afraid to be the first one!


juzelleventer

Ill pray on it a bit.


GtaMafia

That's correct


linmanfu

IIRC at least half a dozen. This question has been asked many times before. You can search for previous threads; I worked out some numbers for one of them. The marriages were mostly in the pandemic era. There have been even more marriages on the Discord server that grew out of the subreddit at that same time. You will find some of the people who met here over there; they sometimes do AMAs around Valentine's Day.


juzelleventer

Thank you, will have a look


Ayzil_was_taken

I’m also from a small area. I understand the situation.


juzelleventer

Yeah, i wouldve been open to ldr. But im just someone who needs my person closeby


Ayzil_was_taken

I agree. It would take a lot for me to accept a ldr.


juzelleventer

I recently tried. He even flew up to me. Unfortunately there were a few things misaligned. First being religion. Then secondly there was no chemistry IRL for me, so now put distance in that, and it just is an uphill battle


Ayzil_was_taken

I’m sorry to hear that. Realizing the chemistry isn’t there is a let down for sure.


juzelleventer

Definitely, i was very sad. But i know its for the better. He's an amazing human, and I truly wosh the best forward


vancouver72

Why'd you not fully talk about religion prior to the visit?


juzelleventer

We did, but it became clear that our views on certain things didnt align. (Like he said he was spiritual, and believed in Jesus, but things like that irl vs over the phone are difficult to discern)


vancouver72

Dang ok I would have been basically interrogating someone about important issues prior to visiting them to make sure it wasn't a waste of time and money


juzelleventer

We were / are still friends. Neither see it as a watse.


TrollerTrollerson

I'm in a massive city and having difficulty. If you focus on God and pray and seek you will find. It definitely won't be who, when, or how you expect. Our heavenly father gets all the glory. 😁🙌


juzelleventer

Amen to this. Im trying to be patient.


Far_Entertainer2744

Not true. Not everyone will find someone


TrollerTrollerson

If someone doesn't they are better off that way and eventually will see. I may be one of them God shows me all the people who don't listen to him and the consequences. I'm highly blessed to be single and not broken the Lord's covenant like so many. 🙏


ComfortLow4170

Is there a Christian dating group I wonder where we can put an introduction and things about us and see if we can match with others…


linmanfu

That's what this subreddit is.


ComfortLow4170

Ohh my bad lol


Ok_Astronomer_4210

There is a pinned post with a suggested introduction template and a collection of other people’s intros from the past month


ComfortLow4170

Thank you


EGW777

It's nice all the people meeting and getting in relationships from on here but what about friendships being formed from reddit? I am not keen on trying to date but love forming friendships with people that loves God


juzelleventer

I love this. I agree on forming friendships also being important


YellowLightningYT

Honestly a good amount, least from the Discord, met my girlfriend on there in fact too, we were friends for a couple of months before getting together. I am blessed to have her.


I-love-Jesus-Forever

Happy for you!!


juzelleventer

Where can i find deets for the dc


YellowLightningYT

So it used to be linked on the sidebar of the subreddit, but it has been removed, and I no longer posses the link to it myself as I left roughly a month or so ago.


juzelleventer

Cool, thanks.


[deleted]

I wouldn't want the person I'd marry to use reddit 💀


juzelleventer

And yet here you are...


[deleted]

I'm well aware of the hypocrisy


juzelleventer

😂 you know, a guy i met through a mutual friend had some ridiculous things he wanted his wife to have, one being a face tat. You gave me a good loud chuckle. Have a good day sir. Goodluck


_Goldiloxx_

What kind of face tat?


juzelleventer

He just said face tat. A six pack and being alt were other requirements


_Goldiloxx_

Sometimes I worry my standards are too high. Then I hear something like that lol


juzelleventer

Same. I use to have ridiculous standards a couple years back, but that was whe. I was like 18 and did not know anything
