Christian Dating Services for Single Christians(share?)

Christian dating services

The Christian Dating Services like eHarmony listed on Christian Dating Service PLUS are the most popular dating sites Christian singles use. In fact, one of the purposes of this website is to help singles find godly relationships through reputable Christian dating services. We felt especially strongly about this since there are so many dating websites purporting to be Christian dating services.

Before Using Christian Dating Services

If you’re thinking about using Christian dating services, please keep in mind the following dating advice before taking the plunge:

Christian Dating Services Are Not The Be All To End All.

Don’t get me wrong, there are lots of benefits to using online Christian dating services. However, the above statement needs emphasis because the mullti-million dollar ad campaigns of some Christians dating services like eHarmony and Perfectmatch.com make it seem like finding a Christian soul mate will be an “in the bag” experience if only you use their dating services. Of course, that’s simply not the case. Online Christian dating services are, however, one of a number of great tools God uses to help Christian singles meet and marry.

Christian Dating Services Have A Learning Curve.

That’s right. Some Christians get frustrated when using Christian dating services because they are not able to find a decent date. Ever wonder why? Here are the top reasons some singles have a poor online dating experience:

The databases and search features of the Christian dating services they are using are not that good.
The poor single guy or girl doesn’t know how to begin using Christian dating services .
Failure results due to a combination of the above two reasons.

Most of the Christian dating services, including those reviewed on this site, offer free trial memberships with no obligation. Under these circumstances (No, I’m not cheap, just a little thrifty!), I recommend joining a number of Christian dating services in order to familiarize yourself with what each offers (search, chat, forums, penpals, prayer,etc), and how they work. Read this to understand why this is a good idea.

Christian Dating Services Pre-Dating Checklist

You’re almost ready to launch into using online Christian dating services. That’s great! Going over some pre-dating tips will not only help you keep a Christian perspective, but may also keep you from making some stupid, costly mistakes you will regret later. Have fun!

Finding a Date in Your Local Area(what ya think?)

fining a date

Many Christian singles complain how hard it is find a date in their own local area. Oftentimes, the churches they attend either have no Christian singles group, or the available single people in their respective churches are not what we would call “keepers” (I thought I just heard a few amens out there!).

In fact, we recently found out through our own survey that this dearth of good single catches locally is one of the reasons why Christians would consider dating unbelievers. Yes, finding a Christian date in your area is not as easy as it seems. However, there is plenty of hope and opportunity. Our dating advice is to take a three pronged approach toward this goal.

Practical Steps Toward Finding a Date Locally

Pray While Taking Proactive Steps Toward Your Goal

What do we mean by that? Matthew 7:7,8 tells us to ask and we shall receive; seek and we will find; knock and the door will open. Now I know some of you are frustrated with prayer because you haven’t seen God move yet. No one ever promised waiting on God was going to be easy.

Yes, Jesus wants us to pray expectantly, but the above verses suggest He also wants us to take faith filled steps toward the object of our prayers. Often that means stepping out of our comfort zones by trying something new. If asking alone is not working, then you need to seek. If asking and seeking is still not working, then you may need to knock. Pray about what that may mean for you as you think about finding a date in your local area.

Join A Christian Singles Group

Besides fellowshipping with other singles, there are many benefits to joining a local Christian singles group. Don’t sweat it if your church doesn’t have such a group. Simply do a Google search for a Christian singles church group in your immediate area, and chances are you will come up with something nearby.

As a sidebar, one of the main reasons we started Christian Dating Service PLUS! was to fill a need by listing all known single Christian groups worldwide. And we are steadily doing that. We understand single Christians (whether they be college age singles, divorced, single parent moms or dads, or never married single adults) have a yearning not only to develop godly romantic relationships, but also to connect locally with other singles who share their beliefs.

Okay, I’m done plugging our site, so do check out a singles group if you are not already connected to one. You won’t be sorry, and you never know who God is preparing you to meet.

Try Online Christian Dating Services

In a previous dating article, we discussed the benefits of seeking a soulmate online. All of the dating services we review on this site, like Christian Cafe or Christian Mingle
offer free trial memberships with no obligation. They also allow you to search their large databases to find available dates in your local area.

Our suggestion is to read up on what makes a good online Christian dating site, then signup for free at a couple of those to try them out. If you are unsure how to find a date using online personals, our dating tips category offers practical help.

If you are a single Christian with further tips on how to find a date in your local geographical area, please help others by sharing your thoughts.
