A Christian Guy's experience on Dating apps... Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge

Should Christians be on Dating Apps? My Experiences with Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge. I know, it's sort of taboo even in 2020 to talk about Christians being on dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge. With the events of our world today, it's becoming increasingly hard to meet fellow Christians to potentially date and one day marry! This is my experience as a Christian guy trying out online dating and using these dating apps!

First, I would like to stress that there is nothing inherently sinful about being on dating apps, just like being in the market to date in person is not inherently sinful. Both methods of meeting people have similar opportunities for sin however, each with their own pros and cons.
For example, in both cases, it is easy to fall into the sin of lust. In person it’s far more difficult to stare and fantasize without being noticed, but on a phone app, you’re being fed picture after picture of potentially provocative women or men, which can be a trigger to some of us, and should be avoided at all costs.
Another thing that is not exclusive to online or in-person dating is idolizing a person or relationship. Often times on dating apps or meeting people in person it would be very easy for me to slowly start to prioritize finding a relationship over my work, and more importantly, over meeting with God. Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. That includes idolizing finding a spouse. Ask yourself if you are disciplined enough and mature enough in your faith to dedicate yourself to God more than whomever you meet.
Finally, are you dating for a purpose? Do you have any sort of prospects of supporting yourself and a family in the foreseeable future? Are you working? In college? Do you have some semblance of a plan? If not, I recommend forming one before trying any kind of dating. As Christians, dating for fun shouldn’t even be a consideration. Every romantic relationship that we start ought to be with an eye towards marriage sometime down the road. Otherwise we are putting ourselves in the way of temptation for no reason. If you can’t see yourself spending the rest of your life with a person, just be friends. If the only reason you can stand to be with the person is because they’re incredibly good looking, probably don’t pursue that relationship, I’m assuming the reason you hang out with your friends is not based on sexual attraction, if it is, you probably really need help.
