Have you ever dated a control freak? While we’re on the topic, are you a control freak? Yes, even Christian singles can be control freaks. Control freaks can be both male and female, and at first can come across as quite appealing. However, as the dating relationship progresses a control freak will intensify his or her acting out until it becomes overwhelming for the other partner.Control freaks make for horrible Christian marriage partners. Unfortunately, it’s very difficult to spot “a freak” early on in the courtship or dating process. Yet, understanding some of the signs of a control freak can help singles avoid getting burned in the long run. Who needs the pain, right?
Control Freak Signs
In considering whether or not you are dating a control freak, consider the following questions:
- Is he or she overly jealous and or possessive?
- Does your date like to take charge by planning all the details of your dates?
- Does he or she always know best about what you need to read, eat, see, wear, or hear?
- Is it difficult to express your own beliefs or opinions around your date?
- Does he or she always need to dominate a conversation?
- (Specially for Christian single women) Does he insist on you submitting to him as your spiritual leader even though you are not married?
The bottom line is control freaks like to be in charge. If you answered “yes” to one or more of the above questions, you are probably dealing with the control freak. You may also want to consider whether or not you in fact are a victim in an abusive relationship.
Are you a single Christian with something to share about control freaks?

Perhaps one of the greatest fears single Christians face is the fear of being alone. Some of us fear being alone as we contemplate the possibility of growing lonely, old and sick. I know of one single gal who actually works herself into an anxiety attack as she thinks about the fear of being alone. Yet, she paradoxically also has a fear of commitment. Go figure.
The idea of simply not finding a lifelong, true love relationship is a very real fear. Sometimes this fear of being alone can makes us think and do some crazy stuff. I should know cause I’ve been there, and done that years ago.
Fear of Being Alone Christian Pod-cast
Do you or some other single Christian you know suffer from the fear of being alone? If so, today’s church pod-cast will be an uplifting encouragement to you. Pastor Ron Edmonson of Grace Community Church in Clarksville, Tennessee (TN), speaks about this fear of being alone, and very relevant for Christian dating singles. Enjoy!

Every dating relationship, including Christian dating ones, is a give and take proposition. In a way, a Christian dating relationship is sort of like a social contract. Each Christian dating partner has certain inalienable rights, but also an obligation to treat their Christian dating girlfriend or boyfriend the same way they would like to be treated. that is the “Golden Rule” after all, right? Christian dating relationships invariably fail when one person violates the rights of the other.
Understanding what your Christian dating rights are may help you avoid entering or staying in a dating relationship with some jerk, while at the same time helping you enjoy your dating experience to the max.
Christian Dating Rights
Christian Dating Right 1:
You have the right to be told the truth by your Christian dating “soul-mate“. You will find liars online and offline, but you won’t have to put up with this garbage if you know the signs of a liar. See this Christian dating article if you think you may be dating a married person.
Christian Dating Right 2:
You have a right not be abused in any way (physically, emotionally or spiritually) by your girlfriend or boyfriend, but to be treated with the utmost respect. Unfortunately, many Christian daters, especially women, stay in abusive relationships because they don’t know the difference.
Christian Dating Right 3:
You have the right to disagree and have own opinions and beliefs as equal Christian dating single. Some couples fail in this area because they either don’t know how to disagree and argue constructively, or one person tries to “lord it over the other.” In line with this thought, and contrary to some Christian guys’ beliefs, a Christian girlfriend is under no obligation to be submissive to her Christian boyfriend. Learning to be mutually submissive is key to any relationship, including a Christian marriage.
Christian Dating Right 4:
You have the right to break up from your Christian dating relationship.
Christian Dating Right 5:
You have a right to outside of your friend’s sphere of influence. Co-dependency has no place in a healthy Christian dating relationship.
If you are a single Christian with your own thoughts Christian dating, please feel free to share your thoughts in order to help others.

Do you need to gain self confidence for asking someone out on a date? Some have lost that “confident dating” edge because they have just suffered through a failed long term relationship, and wonder if it’s worth the risk of getting heart broken or hurt again. Instead of approaching dating with a confident and expectant outlook as they wait on God, they approach relationship possibilities with fear and anxiety.
Whatever your reason for a need to gain self confidence, remember you’re not alone. Many singles wonder how they can gain more confidence meeting Christian singles. In truth, confident dating begins internally, within our own hearts, and works out from there. If we’re already screwed up, we’re not going to gain self confidence by getting into a dating relationship. This won’t “fix” your lack of self confidence, but rather make matters worse. Believe me on this one.
3 Keys in Order to Gain Self Confidence for Christian Dating
Gain Self Confidence for dating with a peaceful and stable life.
In order to determine how well you do here ask yourself the following:
Have you made peace with yourself and God? Only Jesus can make our hearts truly at peace and confident with the world around us. If you don’t know this truth, I’d like to share God’s wonderful plan for your life
Have you been able to make peace with your past, including all the shame and emotional baggage that goes along with a failed relationship?
Do you have stable place to live, and a steady job? Many single guys lack confidence with asking out girls on a date because they don’t have a viable form of employment. Christian single moms also struggle in this area, and feel less desirable because of financial debt.
Gain Self Confidence for dating by knowing your dating match.
Knowing the kind of person you want to attract is important for a number of reasons. First off, if you know what you’re looking for, it makes it easier and quicker to find. Our suggestion is to write down all of the qualities you are looking for in a potential mate. Then begin praying for him or her.
Gain self confidence for dating by having a hopeful plan.
The Bible says the people perish for lack of vision. A well prayed over and thought out plan of action brings confidence and hope.
