[Faith-talk] Relationship issues

[sarah at sarahblakelarose.com]

Bill, I think this is likely worth discussing, though I suspect we have a much too small sampling of people here to have a good discussion and am not sure how best to keep it faith-related. :)

Speaking as a female (who is married), I will say that your approach comes across quite eager and may scare off the type of women you are looking for. Slow and steady is the name of the game. Kevin and I dated for two years, primarily seeing each other as friends, before really being comfortable speaking of our relationship in serious terms. We had been acquainted for many years prior to the onset of our relationship at all. After things bacame serious, it was another two years before we were married.

I can also say to you that Christian women want to see men living out their faith actively. If you invite a lady to dinner, coffee, etc, which I highly encourage over using distance dating, she will want to be familiar with your life as you live it every day.

Good day, folks.  

 

I know the list hasn't been very active of late but there is something I need to explore with all of you to see where it goes.  

 

I am concerned in general about the difficulties we face as blind and visually impaired people when it comes to seeking romance, how to go about it and how to know if a particular relationship is potentially viable, and the ground rules, if any exist, for behavior within such a potential relationship.  

 

I would appreciate your thoughts, experiences and prayers on this matter.  

 

It's something that has caused great frustration, as there seems to be sparse attention paid to this issue.  

 

By the way, if any of you ladies would like by any chance like to explore with me where something could go, please get back to me off list and we'll touch base.
