Single Christian Network for Christian Singles

Leave a Comment  

Do you have a single Christian Network in your life? What exactly is a single Christian network, you may ask? No, it’s not the online dating service, Single Christian Network, which we reviewed as being a waste of your time and money.

Defining Single Christian Network

Well, by using single Christian network, we are referring to a group of two or more Christian singles (a network, if you will) who agree to meet regularly online or offline for fellowship, advice and support.

Some examples of a single Christian network would include Christian singles groups, Christian chatrooms and Christian social networks.

Why Use a Single Christian Network?

We find that one of the greatest arguments for using a single Christian network, is so that single Christians can help get answers and advice for some of their most pressing questions and struggles.

I know some of you are just dying to know what some of those issues are, but if you have spent enough time as a single Christian you have already asked some of these questions yourself:

1. What’s wrong with me that I’m still single while most of my friends have found their true love, and have gotten hitched? A single Christian network can help singles with this kind of question work through feelings of low-esteem, depression and discouragement.

2. Is it ok to actively seek a date, or should I just wait on the Lord? Many christians are confused in this area, but a single Christian network can give guidance.

3. How do i get over my recent heartbreak of a failed relationship? Having a single Christian network after having been dissed by the ex will help bring reality to the thinking process.

4. As a Christian single parent, how do I juggle dating life and my kids? Whew! A single Christian network is an absolute necessity in working through this challenge.

5. I’m new to online dating, so how do I start using a Christian dating service?

6. All the good ones are taken, so should I date an unbeliever?

7. Where do I meet some nice, normal single Christians?

There are many more benefits to using a single Christian network, but not enough time to name them all right here.

Conversation Starters to Avoid Using With Your Date

1 Comment  

Conversation starter skills are a must if you don’t want to bore your date half to death. Almost every Christian single person has had that sinking feeling that they were losing their date’s interest while conversing with them.

Singles with good conversation starter and communication skills are successful at keeping their dates fascinated and involved because they do do two simple things very well:

1. They avoid so called conversation starters that bore or annoy him or her
2. They develop their own conversation starter skills with their date by determining what makes them perk up

Conversation Starter Tips: What To Avoid-Or at Least Go Easy On

One of the purposes of dating is to have conversations with the other person to determine whether or not the other person is your true love or dating match.

While it’s important to have easy flowing conversation starters, take care when speaking with your date about the following topics:

Health Issues

If you’re thinking this is a good conversation starter, forgettaboutit! While you may gain some sympathy in the short run, as a hypochondriac I can tell you from expereince that you will inevitably turn your date off as you rattle off your litany of ills.

Of course, serious health concerns can and should be shared at the proper time, but do we really need to know about the runs you had last night? You get the point.

Ex Anythings

Nothing bores a date quicker, but this failed “conversation starter” is a perrenial favourite of many, to their own demise. Not only is this a major turn off, if gives the impression they are dealing with a rebound dater. Bad. Very bad.

The Bible

I may get stoned for this, so if you don’t see this site tomorrow you know what happened. Look, incessant Bible quoting during a date is boring and obnoxious. Now I’m not talking about heart felt sharing about your faith, or deep and interesting theological discussions that bring up the Scriptures.

I am speaking about the stooges who have to pepper in Bible quotations during every conversation. Here’s an example:”Praise the Lord, this food tastes great. Hey, could you pass that salt? Speaking of salt, did you know in Matthew 5:13 Jesus states that you are the salt of the earth?” Please don’t…it’s not attractive.

Gossip

Ever been around someone who had negative things to say about someone else when they weren’t around? Human nature being what it is, you may be tempted to use gossip as a conversation starter with your date. Don’t do it. Besides being unpleasing to the Lord, your date may begin to wonder what kinds of things you tell others about her when she’s not around. Get it?

No single person, male or female, has it all together when it comes to conversation starters. If you don’t confident in this area, just remember learning how to start a conversation with the opposite sex in learning process.

Are you a Christian single with something to share about dating and conversation starters?

10 Comments  

Is is true love or simple physical attraction and lust? What are true love signs for Christian singles dating? How do you know you’ve found your “true love” of a life time?

Is It True Love?

The following true love prerequisites will help you gauge whether or not this person is “the one”:

True Love: The relationship causes both parties to grow closer to Jesus

True Love: There is implicit trust and no fear of being vulnerable

True Love: The couple has great communication with each other

True Love: Neither party doubts the truthfulness of the other

True Love: True love waits for sexual intimacy. Intense physical
attraction, but neither party defrauds the other (1 Thes. 4:6,7)

True Love: When there are disagreements (if you never had any, someone’s
not being real), the daters have learned how to argue,
but still remain close

True Love: There is no jealousy or controlling behavior.

True Love: Family members and friends confirm and approve of the dating relationship.

Closing True Love Thoughts

Of course, the above is not an exhaustive list of true love signs, but is useful in helping singles assess the potential of a true love match.

Is there such a thing as one true love, or can there be a number of “true loves” in one’e life?
