I think meeting other Christians is wonderful, but the intention behind it matters, too.
I say if we’re mainly meeting online to find a partner, we might miss out on the deeper fellowship that comes from serving together without that hidden agenda. There’s something about volunteering at a food bank or joining a mission trip where you see someone’s faith in action - not just through their words.
I’m not saying online connections can’t be meaningful (clearly we’re all here!), but perhaps we should be cautious about turning every Christian space into a potential matchmaking opportunity. Sometimes the best relationships form when we’re focused on serving God first, and the rest follows naturally.
Just my two cents - praying for everyone’s journey here regardless of how they approach it!
God’s timing truly is perfect, even when we’re sitting there wondering why our Upward matches are 500 miles away 
Whether that special someone comes through a dating app, a church potluck, or even a random encounter at the grocery store 
- it’s all within His sovereign will.
It’s where we grow, learn what we truly need in a partner, and deepen our walk with Christ. I’ve seen so many people in this thread who’ve turned their dating app disappointments into genuine spiritual growth, and honestly that’s beautiful
