Christian Dating Site Cons

In a previous article we wrote about some pros for using a Christian dating site. However, like most anything else in life, involving yourself with a Christian dating site has its negative side.

Christian Dating Site Negatives

Christian Dating Site Users Can Lie

Of course, lying can occur in any forum, whether it’s through an online Christian dating site, or in a Christian singles group. Pathological liars who date make the rounds everywhere. But it is a little easier to lie in front of a computer screen. And most of us have stories of folks pretending to be somebody online that they’re really not, like the dating married guy, or that single girl who manipulates that lonely single guy into spending big bucks on her.

Christian Dating Site Photos Can Lie Too

Boy, we ain’t kidding! That’s all I’ve got to say about that. Next! If you are a little insecure and thinking about touching up, ahem…your photo, please don’t try that. Instead check out our online Christian dating site picture advice that will help fix you up real nice.

There is a Learning Curve Attached to Christian Dating Site Use

Some Christian singles get frustrated with Christian dating sites because they may not attain positive results straight away. That’s why is important to understand how to start using a Christian dating site before spending your money on a membership.

Bottom line: The dating advice here is to join some of the top Christian dating sites that offer free trial memberships, and see how they work.

Christian Dating Site Use Is Addicting

It’s very easy to get carried away when on an online Christian dating site. Not only is it not a good idea for your health to spend too much time in front of a computer, you lose out on family, ministry and other opportunities to enjoy life.

So please see your Christian dating site memberships as a complementary item to other ways for meeting a date in your everyday living.

Christian Dating Site Pros(share?)

Christian dating site use such as eHarmony is getting more popular each year, as many Christian singles have found success finding their Christian dating site online match. The first boon in Christian dating site use occurred in the USA in the mid 1990s, and has since spread to Australia, Asia, Russia, the UK and rest of the European Union. Presently, Europe and Asia are experiencing the great expansion of Christian dating site growth.

However, like most everything else in life, becoming a member of a Christian dating site has its pros and cons.

Christian Dating Site Pros

Christian Dating Site Use Expands The Dating Pool

Don’t laugh, but one person I know compares going to a Christian dating site to taking a trip to Haagen-Daz or Baskin Robbins: You have your choice of almost any flavor you wish. Yummy!

Seriously, though, due to the large number of single women and men using Christian dating sites, a single Christian has a much larger number of potential dates and mates from which to make a choice.

A Christian Dating Site Allows Highly Targeted Searches

Somewhat related to the ice cream analogy (by the way, Mint-Chocolate-Chip is my favourite; oh wait, or is it Chocolate-Chip-Mint?), the large search databases of some dating online sites like ChristianMingle allows Christians dating online to “put in their order” using such variables as age, denomination, vocation, race, appearance and the local area of where one wants to find potential soulmates. Best of all, your potential dating match is also looking for the same thing.

Joining a Christian Dating Site Saves Time

A Christian dating web site can save time for busy singles (like Christian single parents, etc) who don’t have the time or energy to find a date in more traditional ways. Single Christians who turn to a Christian dating site have the convenience of meeting someone out of the comfort of their own homes, 24/7. And let’s be real, with the average size of the typical evangelical church hovering at around 90 souls, the pickin’s are generally slim at best. And how much time have you spent primping yourself to go out to singles activities only to be disappointed at the close of the evening?

A Christian Dating Site Helps Develop Communication Skills

Speaking with other single people on a Christian dating site helps you hone your conversational skills. It’s also an excellent chance to express true thoughts via Christian chatrooms, email and instant messaging, without feeling awkward as one could in person. By the time the Christian dating site couple finally does meet, they will be much more comfortable with each other, having laid down a strong emotional foundation.

Recently, I read some of the romantic letters President John Adams wrote his wife, Abigail. when they were separated by 100s of miles. In those days there were no telephones, and pony-delivered mail took days to get to its destination. But oh, the beauty, passion and depth of those letters! Okay, we’re not in Colonial America, and I may be a romantic idealist, but communicating through an online Christian dating site can help singles experience a little of this magic.

Christian Dating Online Saves You Money

If you’re cheap like me, you’re gonna love this! Almost every Christian dating site on the web offers free trial memberships to to get a taste for what each offers. However, for full membership services most Christian dating site hubs charge between $15 and $30 US dollars per month.

That might seem like a lot of money until you figure how much time and money you may spend traveling to singles activities, paying entrance fees, buying food, and so forth. Overall, if you are using a good Christian dating site, it is much more economical in the long run than traditional ways of finding a date.

Tomorrow we’ll write about the cons (and there are some you may want to know about) of partnering with a Christian dating site.
