Online Teen Dating 101

online teen dating

Many dating sites advertise as online teen dating services. However, the truth is that there are very few true teen online dating services, and none to speak of for Christian teens interested finding a girlfriend or boyfriend online.

Online Teen Dating Options

Although there are no real online teen dating services for specifically for Christian teens, those 18 years old and older may want to try such services as eHarmony, Christian Cafe or Christian Mingle. Although these services have older single adults on them, their large search databases makes it easy to meet other teens online for a dating relationships.

Additionally, while social networks are not specifically online teen dating sites, as a teenager, they give you the ability to network and meet others of similar interests. Whether Christian or not, many teens are using sites such as MySpace and Facebook.com. We’ve written previously on the benefits of using Christian social network.

Top 5 Online Teen Dating Tips

Online teen dating is definitely on the rise, so those Christian teenagers interested meeting a date online may from the following tips:

Online Teen Dating Tip 1

Before doing anything, commit your online teen dating life to the Lord, and ask Him for wisdom (James 1:5). You do want to attract the right person for you, right? If you are committed to His leading, you will avoid making some stupid and painful mistakes, especially in the area of falling into sexual sin.

    Hello, My name is Tim Jones-15. I am a sophmore. I am 5’7″. I make decent grades(A’s, B’s, and the occasional C). I am on my high school football teem as a 2nd string linebacker. I have not had much luck dating so far. I have had only 3 girlfriends. The kind of girl that I like are those who are pretty AND nice. Because it shows that even though they have good looks, they aren’t full of themselves like many pretty girls are and it shows that they are a good person.

  4. Jenna on April 25th, 2009 6:17 am

    Hey. I’m Jenna, 16, and have never had a boyfriend. The kind of guy I want to date is kind, sweet, generous, a gentlemen, a good sense of humor, and loves the Lord. A guy that can just let loose and be a dork, a guy that actually cares about me and wants to know what’s on my mind. Oh, and it be great if you were cute, lol.

    Hi, my Name is Amanda and I am 16y.o. I’m trying to meet new people, girls or Guys. I’m a Christian who is surrounded by non-christians and I really would love to speak to other people who share the same love that I have with God. I’m still in the process of changing myself to be who God wants me to be. And my dating is really bad. So, my next try is definitely a christian Guy who loves the Lord and tries hard to follow the Laws of God.

  13. Joshua Shannon on January 7th, 2011 11:36 pm

    I’m not a super christian kind of person but I do set most of my rules by bible teachings. I hope to meet a sweet,beautiful,independent girl but doesn’t criticize everything about 16 or 17 who doesn’t mind a shy boy. I’ve dated very little. I don’t post stuff like this too often. It’s becoming difficult to find decent girls and I thought what better place to find decent people than a christian dating site,lol. Hope to see a reply.

  25. Jacqueline on July 16th, 2011 3:20 pm

    I’m 16 and I’m looking for the right person to date. But I’m sort of confused on whether I should date a christian or keep looking. I want somebody who respects me physically, emotionally, mentally, and sexually. I’ve had some bad run ins in the past but I managed to not fall in the trap called sex. I want to be respect for who I am and what I am not for what I could do. Please help!

  26. Jacqueline on July 16th, 2011 3:33 pm

    Dear Joshua Shannon,
    I am replying to your post. I see your looking for a 16 to 17 year old girl. I’m 16 and am looking for somebody who actually cares about who I am other than caring about what I can do. I am not a criticizer. I’m a lover. My friends and family call me the nicest person around. I’m kind of shy too so don’t worry and I’m quiet sometimes. I like to do things on my own and barely depend on people for things. I’m not Christian but I respect god. I hope we can talk more :D
