my feeling is, there's no possible way to really get to know somebody that way or even over the phone. It's weird because even though you can't really get to know a person well that way, your emotions can still be manipulated. I've heard so many disaster situations. A person can either hide who they really are or just act differently and then after you really get to know them you find they aren't the person you thought they were. You have to actually spend time with somebody over a long period of time to get to know a person especially if you are in the truth. If you don't do that, you're setting yourself up for big big problems because marriage is, well should be, for life.
Agreed... I've gotten to know several sisters on-line (they've almost all approached me, BTW) and the ones I have met in person have been very different than I expected.. except for Trish, my gal out in California. She actually is better than I thought.
Another part is knowing yourself and what you want. Age has a big part in that. The Family Happiness book addresses that.. But as with anything, there ARE good situations and bad. I contend that it doesn't matter HOW you meet, whether on-line, at a convention, on vacation visiting a Hall, etc.. it's being honest and upfront with each other that counts. Also, spending quality time with each other... but yeah, meeting and being together in person is a MUST!
see, personally, I think the best way to get to know people is by working with them in service, (regardless of if you are interested in them or not.) because then you can see what their real attitude toward the truth is, how they express their conviction to others, and that says more about a person than what they are like in a group setting around their friends.
I never really thought of that, but it definitely IS a good way to get to know someone. That's how Bill really got to know his gf. It does tell you alot about a person. Interesting....
don't be all like tryin to pass that intelligent thought as yours!!
which one, weirdo? I was agreeing with you
i strongly agree also, that is how i got to know andrew better. it's harder to hide who really when you are in service and service leads to spiritual conversations.
i think the BEST way to get to know somebody is to stalk them. the more high tech equipment you have, the better you will get to know them
that's how i got to know you :) thank goodness for highpowered infared nightvision binoculars. Nice PJ's by the way...
hahahha she blew up your spot!! (what does that mean, blew up your spot. I don't know.)
told his business

i was wondering why you needed to borrow my military-grade ACOG nightscope...i need that back.
