The falsity of the statement in this title reaches many levels. If you are a Christ follower, we’re sure you felt the same immediately as a single.

You roll out of bed on a Sunday morning at the last possible minute and arrive 15 minutes late to your local church small group meeting.

Relationships started on a lie are a lie. We watch on TV where people pretend to be someone else in order to “win” a person over. Doing insane things they don’t like all for the sake of being who the other person wants them to be.

Let’s talk about it. Interracial dating or dating your native race can be a big deal. Regardless of skin color, interracial dating a person of a different nationality or ethnicity may lead to a point of contention.

Do you date outside your political views? The current hostile political environment in America can affect dating relationships. We’ve heard stories of first dates asking what political party their potential mate is affiliated with.
