Well, Match.com 
has made a huge comeback, not only increasing sales over 25% in 2006 in the UK and US, but also buying up some of the largest dating sites in China and Europe.
Although Match.com advertises to Christian singles in the UK, it is not a Christian dating site, per se. However, we decided to review Match.com on this site simply because there are tens of thousands of beleivers who use this site. Also, it has the largest online international dating database in the world, with numerous search variables. If you don’t believe me, check out the Guiness Book of World Records. Yup, Match.com is right in there!
I know some believers have issues with Match.com because it’s a non-Christian site and has Dr Phil as it’s poster child. But as one Christian single gal put it, “People who judge me for looking for a Christian date on Match.com should also think about their own logic next time they step into a public library, a Walmart or click onto Amazon.com.” Now there’s a woman with some spunk!
Finding Single Christians on Match.com
Right now Match.com has has more than 1.4 million active subscribers and 13.7 million nonpaying members who can search the databases for singles in their own particular area.
What I really like about Match.com search features is that you can search by keywords (Match.com refers to it as “match words”) for your Christian date. In a free membership one can search, create a profile with photo gallery and even send winks” to someone your find appealing. However, in order to receive and send email you need to upgrade to a paid membership.
Match.com Prices
Our advice to any amateur using Match.com is to simply remain as a non paying member or “voyeur” as they call it, until you have made a list of several Christian dating match possibilities. Here are the US Match.com prices. You can check out the UK Match.com prices by simply clicking this Match.com link :
- 6 month plan-$19.99 (per month)
- 3 month plan-$22.99 (per month)
- 1 month plan ($39.99 per month)
If you want to throw in Dr. Phil’s “Mind-Find-Bind” video and audio relationship advice, which I think is a waste, you would have to throw in an extra $9 dollars per month.
Match.com Crowns
- Without a doubt, the huge search engine filled with over 1.4 million members.
- The number of search variables, including keyword search for mutual Christians
- A true international dating service that reaches the USA, Canada, Asia, the UK and all of Europe, South America and Africa.
Match.com Pitchforks
- Not specifically a Christian dating service, although their are tens of thousands of Christian men and women using the site
If you’re a single Christian who has used Match.com, would you consider sharing your experiences with others?

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?

Write a Great Online Dating Profile
After you have chosen an online dating service, you will want to write a captivating dating profile that will attract the kind of singles you are hoping to meet.
Two of the most important components of your dating profile besides the body, where you will talk about how wonderful you are, is your dating screen name and dating photo.
Why are are these so important? It’s simple. Your dating screen name and dating photo are the very first things single Christians will see before deciding whether or not to click on to read the rest of your Christian profile. If you mess these up, very few people will be contacting you, so spend some time in order to make these as attractive as possible.
Prepare For Your First Online Communication
Whether you are replying to sombody else’s online Christian dating ad, or you are getting back to someone who has clicked on yours, you need to learn good communication skills.
Good communication is key to any successful online and offline dating relationship. Along these lines, practicing proper email etiquette for dating and learning good conversation starter skills can help you get started on the right track.
Enjoy Your First In Person Date
It’s natural to experience a little nervousness on your first date. In order to ensure things run smoothly, be sure to read dating tips on first date do’s and don’t’s. If you are at a loss over what to do on your date, checking out some creative dating ideas may help get the wheels turning.

Online European dating popularity is definitely growing, as people throughout Europe have become more familiar with a variety of dating services, like ChristianMingle
and the different benefits they may offer singles seeking a soulmate online.

Meetic UK
ChristianMingle.com
Christian Cafe
Christian Cupid- Asia, South America, UK, Africa, Australia, Europe, Russia

In the U.S. at least, it seems we can’t get through an evening of watching TV or listening to the radio without getting an online dating service personals ad. All this marketing must be working because Pew Internet Research reports that over 37% of all singles (Christian singles included) looking for a date, and 11% of all web surfers, have clicked onto online dating sites.
Presently, 15% of USA adults (that’s over 30 million people) claim they know someone who is either married or in a long term dating relationship on account of using an online dating service.
In Europe and Asia, online dating is currently growing at an even faster rate than in the US. A little more than five years ago, online dating in such countries as the Netherlands, the UK, France, Italy, Japan, China, Korea Russia and Germany was relatively unknown. Today, European dating singles have definitely fallen in love with online dating and matchmaking services. According to Meetic, the leading Europe dating service, multiple thousands of European single people (including Christian singles) are signing up daily for their free trial memberships.
Overall, whatever European dating site, you choose to use, make sure you understand what each online dating site has to offer. Since most offer risk free trial memberships, we recommend checking out a number of dating sites in order to compare the positives and negatives.
