All these men were Christians, I was trying to be gracious, forgiving, and not judgmental. I'm also coming out of a denomination where it was drilled into us to never judge others, "love covers a multitude of wrongs," and honor culture (where you can't point out a person's faults, anyone can find the dirt but look for the gold, etc). So now I need to learn how to balance grace for others and dignity for myself. I'm learning that kindness and being more like Jesus does NOT equal being a push over.
For me, it wasn't about being a people pleaser at all. I was the one that ended it with each man because of their red flags.

That's not surprising at all, and I did not say you were being a people pleaser... online people can say
whatever they want about themslves, with next to zero accountability. And the whole "judge not" thing
is ridiculous, we are supposed to judge with righteous judgment, and I am glad you were able to do that...

Most of us have at least dipped our toes into the online dating pool, maybe some have dove into the deep end. What has your experience been like? Did you meet someone special...or should we say "special"? Do you have a funny first date story?

Share the good, the bad, and the ugly. Maybe we can laugh away the trauma ;)

I found someone who remained anonymous till the end. I was young at the time. In my second half of my twenties. Got fooled. It took me 3 years to recover from that heartbreak you know. God brought me out of it though.

Be careful who you see online. Be strong if it does not go like how you wanted.

God has someone better is what it means
