This is a stupid vent tbh, but here it goes.
Im Christian, but not like super strict or anything. Dating some Christians can just suck sometimes. Sorry no offense. Lack of fun flirting, take things very seriously etc.
Purity culture = cant be alone at each others places. Im okay with waiting and I respect it, but I also dont believe its that big of a deal. I respect that people have values they follow and coming from a Christian background I think I have more of an understanding then many in this group might.
But dang im 28m and honestly have thought about experimenting with dating some agnostics or just being more forward with people and being prepared to be turned down. Not talking asking for sex, but just more flirting I guess. Reason is I just want to have more fun and not have this weird shame of sexuality hanging over our interactions.
Im chatting with someone on Tinder and its just a fun conversation. Maybe I just want to have some fun and if things go somewhere then good. If not then no big deal.
But dating in religious circles tend to be much more rigid and serious.
And Im caught inbetween wanting to stay in my faith, but also being a bit tired of the dating scene in it.
I know its really dumb and people cant answer this for me.
But I struggle with the idea of dating someone who has this "we should never be alone because of temptations" mentality.
And again I completely respect peoples boundaries and faiths. I am just venting on my experience. Since im Christian, but not very conservative it can be hard to find people who arent very strict in my eyes over dating
