Christian Dating Courting

Leave a Comment  

In regard to Christian dating courting, find it interesting that christians are still in the dating scene. Dating, to me, is simply a psuedo-marriage arrangement between two people. What I mean by ‘psuedo-marriage’ is that you get to pretend that you’re married (be exclusive, tell others that you are ‘taken’, have sex, cuddle and make out, etc), but never actually make any promises or commitments. When you are dating, it is saying to others that you are ‘taken’, but you are not ‘taken’ yet. I wonder how many men and women out there that are dating, who have discouraged their true love from finding them because their true love believes that they are ‘taken’.

If you are discouraged from dating someone for years and years and years, with no forward progress, then maybe its the fact that you are dating which is the problem.

Dating, it seems to me, has been an unspoken arrangement between men and women as a compromise to marriage. As stated before, you get to enjoy the fruits of marriage while dating, but never have to commit to anything. Though there is an ‘exclusive dating’ promise inherent in dating, ask yourself how many times have you been cheated on, or how many times did you cheat?

Christians should leave dating in the secular world, where it came from, and move on to more marriage minded activities. In the book, “How I kissed dating goodbye” by Joshua Harris, he describes the ‘dating’ process for christians as ‘courting’. This is basically the same thing as dating, but instead the man and woman are solely focused on if they are good for each other in marriage. They don’t pretend they are married and say they are ‘taken’, they are looking for a partner to share their life with and have those promises and commitments in place.

It is obviously a little more complicated than this, but in summary, if you are dating someone that you hope will someday turn to marriage, you are doing it backwards. You must date with marriage in mind and with all the commitments at the forefront. If not, then you are in a psuedo-marriage, that may or may not lead to commitment.

I will encourage all christians to stop dating, and see where it leads. But I’m an idealist, and hopelessly single, lol, so it’s probably best not to listen to me.

Dating Tips for Attracting Mr. Right or Miss Right

Leave a Comment  

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.

Flirting Tips-How to Flirt with a Girl Online

1 Comment  

Flirting is an art, and those men who learn how to flirt with a girl will be more successful with both traditional and online dating. Just what does it mean to flirt? One definition in Webster’s on flirting reads: “to act in such a way so as to attract.” While some Christian singles are more flirtatious than others, nearly all interested in a dating or courtship relationship flirt from time to time.

Many online Christian dating services make it possible to communicate via e-mail, chat and IM’s with other singles. This format can be a very playful and fun way of flirting but should be done with some knowledge of online dating safety in mind. Many singles actually relay that they find flirting easier online because they are more at ease when the other person is not standing right next to them.

Understanding how to flirt online, and what to avoid while flirting may help you get to the next level: a true dating relationship. The following flirt tips are are actually “pre-flirting” tips that will prepare you for the real thing

How to Flirt Online Successfully

Flirt Tip 1: First Let Them Get to Know You a Little Bit

Most people, especially single women, want to know some background on a person before they start flirting online. In other words, she may be thinking, “is the person flirting with me a whacko or is there a real possiblity of a relationship here?” If you begin flirting before making a proper introduction via that initial email, you have less chance of the person accepting your flirt. She probably receives a ton of flirt mail, so put some thought into your email message, and use proper email etiquette. This puts you in a better flirting position.

Flirt Tip 2: Have a Great Photo and Captivating Profile

Guys, this is what will make or break you, even if you are the best flirt on the web. Guess what’s the first thing a person will do after you make initial contact and begin flirting. Yup. They’re gonna check out that handsome picture you submitted (and if you don’t have one you are ten times less likely to have someone even acknowledge your presence).

The second thing a Christian single woman will do is read your profile and look at your screen name. A sparce profile may lead her to believe you a married player looking for a fling, or a complete neanderthal who lacks any sensitvity and brains.

Flirt Tip 3: Have a Creative Screen Name

A good screen name or user name speaks a thousands words. Have fun with this one, but make sure you get it right. Do we need to remind you guys that sexual innuendos are a big no no? I didn’t think so.

Flirt tip 4: Take it Easy and Slow

Single women like to be wooed, not run over. Please avoid asking her for a date on your first flirt. It usually won’t work. Instead, take the time to get to know her likes and dislikes, which will only help you become a better flirt the next time you meet online.

In a future article, we will deal with specific examples of flirting. In the meantime, putting the above into practice will help you in your online dating life.
