The Challenges of Modern Dating: One Woman's Story of Faith and Boundaries

In a recent online video, content creator Kinnie shared a personal experience highlighting the complexities of modern dating. Kinnie recounted how a man she had been in contact with abruptly blocked her after she disclosed her "non-negotiables" for a relationship. According to Kinnie, these non-negotiables included a partner who "gotta love Jesus" and a commitment to "no physical intimacy before marriage." She noted that upon hearing these conditions, the man reportedly responded with "Oh yeah, that makes sense," before proceeding to block her. Kinnie expressed her amusement and surprise at the situation, stating, "If that ain't somebody weeding themselves out, I don't know what is." She also questioned the necessity of being blocked, remarking, "Why did you need to block me? I didn't reach out to you, you reached out to me." Despite receiving comments from others suggesting that her expectations for marriage and abstinence are "unrealistic" and that she "won't find anybody who is actually going to want to wait until marriage," Kinnie remains optimistic. She asserted, "It's been done before by several very successful marriages. So if it can be done for them, it can be done for me too." Kinnie concluded by stating her refusal to be discouraged by such experiences, acknowledging that dating can be discouraging at times but affirming her commitment to her values.
