Christian Online Dating: Worth a Try?

In this day and age, as people get more content at letting the internet play matchmaker, Christian online dating continues to gain acceptance and popularity. But is it worth trying?

The internet is one of the safest portals for meeting other people for dating or a serious relationship. And with online dating trends gravitating towards specialty and community-based dating, we see an increase in the number of sites catering to Christian online dating.

There are advantages to this phenomenon. Some of the advantages include:

1. Wide net: You can search thousands of profiles of people sharing the same faith. There is a vast Christian network that has varied interests, hobbies, likes and dislikes. The big number gives you a better chance of finding one that you like.

2. Christian online dating provides a very comfortable environment and- though you still must exercise caution and commonsense- is considered safe. The online dating community is a place where you can create lasting relationships for acquaintance, friendship, companionship, romance, and can even lead to a permanent commitment.

3. In a Christian online dating site, the center is spirituality. People here believe they have filtered out the dates with people who may not share the same set of values. If you are joining a Christian online dating site, you will know what you can expect.

4. You can narrow the field even farther down to an even more specific faith such as Catholic, Latter Day Saints (Mormon), Seventh Day Adventists etc.

5. You can be specific as to the level of religious commitment, to match your own. To some people going to church every Sunday may be deemed “Christian” enough; for others it could be more or less.

A Christian online dating website should include chat rooms where you can have fun discussions, both personal and biblical. In most sites, you can also post memos and notes on message boards and share pictures with photo galleries. And of course, you can send personal messages to private mail boxes.

Many dating websites also feature instant messaging and voice introductions for a more personal touch. Some of the Christian websites even offer christian dating services aside from online matching.

Indeed, dating a stranger sharing your beliefs would be more reassuring than starting with somebody who does not share the same principles.

And as implied, the online society is Christ-centered. And by association, Christ is all pure love and kindness. If you join the group, this indicates you support Christian values and standards. Meeting the love of your life could be a possibility!

The Christian community now utilizes this current trend of communication to widen their reach and to create a fun-loving environment. Christian online dating has proved to be very effective for most people who participate with friendships and often blooms into serious relationships.

Online Dating Profiles?
I’ve been trying online dating for almost 6months and had no sucess. I wonder if its because of my "About Me" section. I’ve heard people read alot into them. What do ya’ll think?

Here’s what I wrote:

I never know what to put in these dang things so I guess I’ll just ramble through it.

I’m currently living in Alaska. I grew up in the fourstate area and I hope to be back chasing chickens before 2009 is over. I’d describe myself as an odd combination of tomboy and Mrs. Cunningham. One minute I’m covered in mud playing football and the next I’m in high heels and an apron fixing supper. I can be a handful at times(what woman isn’t) but I’m well worth it.

I’m just looking for a guy who knows a good girl when he sees one. I’m pretty old fashioned when it comes relationships. I like to pamper people and take care of them. I think little things make all the difference in a relationship.

I don’t have any specific type but I really like loyalty, smarts, and fun. Plus I cook alot of southern food so a healthy appetite would help him out a lot.

I do have some deal breakers…
1) Must be Christian(you don’t have to be perfect but you do gotta have faith)
2) No drugs
3) No beaters
4) Must love kids…I have one and she’s the most important thing in my life.

Feel free to say hello if you like what you see.

I don’t see anything wrong with it except you sound like you’re full of yourself … "I’m looking for a guy who knows a good girl when he sees one" And you also said "I’m well worth it" Also there aren’t many christians online that you’re gonna meet …. Christians spend most of their time in church …

Hey I think it’s a great "About Me’ piece. I wouldn’t change a thing.
The only killer I see, in there, is you are moving away this year, and that may turn some guys off. Why get involved with you, when, in few months, you’ll be leaving Alaska and moving to the four state area.
So I’d keep your ‘About me’ and just wait till you settle down and then re-post it.
I don’t think you should have any problems. I know I wouldn’t work out, as two things, I don’t have a big appetite, and at 155 lbs, with you doing my cooking, I wouldn’t be there for very long, lol
But stick with what you wrote, just wait, until you settle down back home.

I tried to answer this a few seconds ago and that question got deleted.

First off remember that Alaska has the lowest population density in the U.S.

Your "About me" seems fine to me.

I am from the country and like girls with a little Tomboy in them. Single mothers are not something that most guys will go for unless they also have kids, so that will reduce your dating prospects. No beaters… WTF is that about? Healthy appetite makes it sound like you are overweight.
So basically your asking for a docile, Christian, chubby chaser and father (who happens to be a traditionalist).

BTW I am from Southern Louisiana so I can probably teach ya a few recipes if you’d like ;)

You have sold me on you but there is an hole in what you want age size and what your need in return for all this care you give. Less give and more 50/50 for you because that’s what we all need plus tell then they’ll need to be thereself not what your asking for because no one can pretend for long because that and money or the two killers of relationships.good luck!!!
