Attracting Mr. Right or Miss Right for a dating relationship that leads toward marriage is a goal of most Christian singles. Although there are a lot of online dating tips for attracting Mr. Right or Miss Right, some singles tend to keep attracting the exact opposite kind of person they need in a relationship. For example, did you ever wonder why abused women keep entering abusive relationships? I do, because I see it everyday in family court.
Why Singles Fail to Attract Mr Right or Miss Right
As a single Christian you may be wondering why you keep missing out on attracting Mr. Right or Miss Right. While Dr Phil and the Minirth Meier Clinic boys offer some cool advice on attracting the right mate, attracting Mr. Right or Miss Right really boils down to two ingredients: Vision and a plan to achieve the vision.
Attracting Mr Right Begins with Vision
The Bible teaches that the people perish for lack of vision. Knowing the general signs of what makes up a good Christian dating relationship is a little different than what we are talking about here. Our meaning for vision here means having in mind the kind of person it is you feel makes a perfect match for you. Think about it. How can we attract Mr. Right or Miss Right if we have no clue about what our Mr. or Miss Right looks like spiritually, physically and emotionally? Some singles may have already let a potential Right or Miss Right slip right through because they had no vision of Mr. or Miss Right in their minds.
A Plan to Attract Mr or Miss Right
Beyond having a vision of what your Mr. Right or Miss Right looks like, having a plan on how to attract that special woman or man to date is most important. Why? If you have an idea of the kind of person you would like to meet, but have no plan of action to achieve this goal, you basically have an endlessly frustrating situation.

Recognizing signs of flirting from Christian single gals is an important skill to master if you’re a guy are interested in dating. One clueless single Christan guy (every church has a few) told me he didn’t think he needed to know the signs of flirting because he didn’t think Christian girls flirted. Yeah, okay.
Girl Signs of Flirting
Since most gals give subtle signs of flirting, it’s important for a guy, especially if they’re love shy or lacking in confidence, to know he has a fighting chance of dating them, and not face rejection. Quite frankly, the fragile male ego would have a hard time with this.
Analyzing Signs of Flirting
Men, the following signs of flirting will help you how to tell if a girl is flirting with you. However, there are a few flirting tip disclaimers here.
First, they taught us in seminary never to build a theology based on one Bible verse. Likewise, great care needs to be taken here not to get too excited when you observe just one sign of flirting in a woman. What are we saying? These signs of flirting should be looked at cumulatively.
Secondly, make observe how the single girl of interest treats other men around her. If she treats everyone the same way, she may just have a flirtatious personality, and not necessarily have any special feelings for you.
Top Signs of Flirting
Well, without further ado, here are some of the top signs of flirting some of our readers have come up with:
Sign of Flirting #1:
She repeatedly glances in your direction
Say your in a christian singles group. Is she looking your way everytime you take a peek her way? Pronlonged eye contact is a pretty stong sign of flirting. Just look behind you to make sure she’s not spying some other hunk sitting right behind you!
Sign of Flirting #2
She goes out of her way to “bump” into you
My one friend met his wife this way. She always found a way to cross paths with him, even if she had no reason to be in area.
Sign of Flirting #3
You keep seeing that smiling face
If a girl is frequently smiling at you , it’s a good indication that she enjoys hanging around. Smiling back at her will disarm any fear she may have about pursuing the matter.
Sign of flirting #4:
She laughs at your stupid jokes
This is a good indication you have her interest, but just go easy on the one liners. 
Sign of Flirting #5:
She approaches you in conversation
A sure-fire sign of flirting, this also means she is not the shy type. Warning: Now that you have her attention, don’t blow it by not knowing how to keep a conversation going strong.
Sign of Flirting #6
She gives you a compliment
Since deep down most men are really insecure cravers of attention , women interested in dating would do much better if they threw more compliments a guy’s way.
Sign of Flirting #7
She shows other positive body language signs
Body language is a powerful tool women use when flirting with a man, and most know how to use this flirting sign to their advantage. Social scientists tell us 97% of communication is nonverbal in nature, so it’s very important for a guy to catch some of these signs of flirting:
- twirling a finger through her hair as she looks your way
- winking
- discreet touchingof your arm or knee
- moving and leaning toward you when speaking
- uncrossed arms and legs when facing you in conversation.
Overall, learning the above signs of flirting is only the first step toward successful dating. The next step includes facing any fears you may have about actually reaching out and asking the single girl out.
Are you a Christian single who wants to share other signs of flirting, flirting tips, or a different take on flirting altogether?

Abusive relationships are not uncommon among dating single Christians. Some singles have been in an abusive relationship, and know the pain that goes with it. Sadly, other single Christians reading this article right now are presently in an abusive relationship, but may not know it or be in denial over it.
While in the rest of this article we will designate the victim as a “she”, over 10% of abusive relationships consist of women against men. Abusive relationships come in all sizes and shapes, which at times could make it difficult to realize you or one of your friends are actually in one. Would you know it if you were dating an abuser?
Abusive Dating Relationships Are About Power and Control
The victim of an abusive relationship may suffer one or more of the following forms of abuse:
Abusive Relationships and Isolation
In an abusive relationship the abuser is obsessively possessive and jealous.He has tight reigns on what the victim does, where she goes or who she talks to on the cell phone.
Abusive Relationships and Emotional Attacks
The abusive dating partner will often make the other party feel inept, stupid or crazy. He accomplishes this through manipulative words or acions. He may accomplish this through putdowns about her appearance or intelligence. He may also inexplicably withdraw affection, using it as a weapon. All of this wreaks havoc on the abused’s self esteem.
Abusive Relationships and Intimidation
In an abusive relationship there are often subtle forms of intimidation by the use of body language (facial expressions, gestures, etc). An escalation in this area would also include yelling, ranting and smashing items precious to the victim. This a bad scene all around.
Abusive Relationships and Threats
If the perpetrator in an abusive relationship is not getting his way, he may resort to making threats of physical violence against the other person, their children or even themselves: “If you leave me I will kill you and myself.”
Abusive Relationships and Physical Violence
In this most dangerous stage of an abusive relationship, physical violence could very well include beatings and/or sexual abuse. The abuser will often apologize afterwards through tears and promises, and the victim will usually forgive them or be afraid to report the incidents, even to the local church leaders.
Proactive Steps to Take in an Abusive Relationship
- Never give up outside relationships with family, your local church pastor and trusted friends who can give godly advice in time of need. In this regard, the benefits of being involved in a Christian singles small group cannot be overstated. Remember, since the victims in abusive relationships tend to be co-dependent, keeping contacts with the outside world will help them maintain realistic thinking.
- Educate yourself on the resources available for victims in abusive relationships. A good place to start in the US is the National Domestic Violence Hotline. They can be accessed via the web at ndvh.org. In the UK, you may want to check out hiddenhurt.co.uk. In Australia, a great abusive relationship resource can be found at dvirc.org.au/HelpHub/HelpIndex.htm
- Seek professional Christian counseling to help guide you through the issues that caused you to get into an abusive relationship. This is important because unless you learn why you got into such a relationship, you will likely repeat the process.
