Christian women complaints? The following article on single Christian women was written by Oscar, one of our single readers who has used dating sites like eHarmony and Christian Mingle. Any comments girls?
“I find that to many Christian women are confused about what values they should be looking for in a Christian man. I think to many Christian women take the word “Christian” vary loosely. Guys will say anything to get a good looking women. There is a shallowness on Bible Theology these days. Most don’t know what to look for from a Godly perspective. Oprah and other talk shows are defining what a good man is from a secular stand point. Today all a guy need to say is “Yes, I’m a Christian” and for most Christian women that is enough for them to go out on a date with them.
And if a guy has a good job and nice car along with a Christian confession. 90% of Christian women will go out with him without any authenticity or background screening. This really scares me. It’s like the American dollar. It has lost it’s value. It is not worth as much today as of 50 years ago. I saw a Christian women in Bible study. I asked her out for coffee. She told me that she dated a guy one week before who was a warlock. She knew he was a warlock before she went out with him. Yet in church she looked so much like a strong single Christian woman.
As a guy who has a strong call on his life. I just want to say that you are only as strong as your weakest link. If you ignore the screening of the Holy Ghost. You are going to get in a relationship from hell. There are a lot of shallow people out there with no spiritual roots in the word of God but confess to be Christians. And it is getting worst. Don’t be desperate. It’s better to be alone than to be in the wrong relationship. I get frustrated at times over this sometimes. But I thank God I listened to him and have not got involved with the wrong person and have to pay alimony and child support today.”

If you’re a baby boomer interested in dating online, there are several things to consider. Christian dating services for baby boomers is not a new idea as they’ve been around for years. However, if you take heed to the following dating tips for baby boomers you will have more chances for success.
The first thing that you should be looking for in a baby boomer dating service, is to make sure that it offers several screening filters to validate other peoples identification. Most online dating sites reviewed here have that feature. This will ensure that the people that you meet really are who they say they are.
Research a few baby boomer dating websites before you decide on one. There are millions of dating sites out there, so it is important that you chose the one that meets all of your requirements. Check to see all the features and packages that they offer, and read reviews from current customers. If more than one site meets your requirements, then sign up for more than one. This will increase your chances of finding somebody to date.
After you sign up for the service, you will have to create a dating profile. It is very important that you be as honest as possible when making your profile. If you meet somebody online and start a dating relationship, you don’t want it to be based on lies, or even exaggerations. Also make sure that you upload good pictures of yourself onto your profile. It is best to have several recent pictures, and to make sure that you look very nice in all of them.
It is important to try to let others see the real you through your profile. Your profile should scream “you”. This is hard to do online, however with some practice you should get the hang of conveying emotions to others through the computer. You will eventually learn how to flirt online. Also, if you have a web cam, then this will make showing emotion almost as easy as if you were with the person face to face.
Your profile should be interesting to read as well. Make sure that you list your hobbies, passions, taste in movies, music, literature, and even food. You want people to know what you are all about because it will help you start a good relationship.
Keep in mind that your online dating experience should be as comfortable as possible. If someone says something that makes you uncomfortable, then don’t hesitate to block that member. Most dating services, like Christian Cafe, offer blocking other members as a feature, so take advantage of it.
Remember not to get upset if somebody that you are interested in does not respond to you. There are so many people out there to let that discourage you. Just accept the fact, and try somebody else. With all the people out there in the online world, you will definitely meet many local singles who do respond to you.
Baby boomer online dating can help you reach your relationship goals, whatever these may be. Remember to be safe and responsible and to have a good time.

Looking for great Christian Teen dating ideas? Before we get into that let’s go over the purpose of teen dating. There are two main purposes for teens to date: To enjoy each ‘company, and enjoy a fun activity together. These two points not only hold true for Christian teens, but adults as well.
When deciding what to do on a date, while keeping these two purposes in mind, you need to ensure that both of you will have a good time. In order to do this, you need to chose an activity that both of you enjoy. Try to think of interests that you both share. For example if both of you enjoy music, then go to a concert. Movies and sporting events are also great ideas. Although these activities may seem “old hat”, they involve something that both of you like, and therefore will make great dates.
If the two of you go to the same school, then a great date idea for a date is to work on school work together. Having somebody that you like work with you can be a fun experience, and will help you guys lean to work together as a team. Teamwork can be a great experience in itself.
If both of you decide in advance what you are going to do on the date, then it will be much more fun. Surprises are usually a bad thing. Also You both should plan out who will be paying for different parts of the date. Planning these things in advance will help you guys avoid getting into arguments due to misunderstandings, and will help you focus on having fun instead.
When deciding where to go on a date, just remember that the point is to have fun. Don’t go out of your way to make the date elaborate or expensive. Just enjoy each others company and pretty much any date will be a good one. Remember these Christian dating tips and you will be well on your way to a perfect Christian teen date!

The following article, Sexual Feelings of Christian Single Women, was written by a single Christian woman who is also a mental health professional. The writer thought it important that single Christian men, in their fight against lust and quest for sexual purity in dating relationships, understand how the sexual feelings of Christian single women work:
I just want to say to all the Christian men who think single Christian women don’t think as much about sex as you do - we do. We just romanticize and emotionalize it a bit more. Romance novels are an emotional stimulus that has an end result similar to porn; so do Cosmo and Glamor magazines. This is because emotional and intellectual connection are generally more of what turn women on.
As a woman who was sexually abused in her own home at a very young age, I have struggled a lot with sexual impurity and guilt that my mind fantasizes about my current Christian boyfriend. Long before I met my boyfriend, I went to counseling for years (because of the abuse) and now am a mental health professional. Yet, I know from my professional background that in spite of all my healing, there are just some changes in my brain and my chemistry from childhood that just make me a more sexual person than I otherwise would have been.
I was tired of the guilt and just spoke to my boyfriend about my sexual feelings fantasies and he told me he has similar fantasies. We prayed together that God would help us remain in control of ourselves and our sexual urges because we want to save sex for marriage. We also set up rules for ourselves that would keep us from getting into situations that would give us means and opportunity (because the motive - temptation - is there). Everyone’s different, so details of this are micromanagement, but I think every couple that is dating exclusively (especially Christian couples) should have a sex talk, and share what their insights are as far as setting up fences long before the cliff as not to tip toe until over the edge.
When a Christian single girl learns over time to trust a man that is willing to work with her for the sake of putting Christ first in the relationship (e.g., above sexual feelings and impulses), she is much more free to experience herself and her man as who they fully are, relaxing and knowing that he does not intend to pressure her into sex, either directly or just by exploring her with his hands in ways that tempt her.
For Christian single women, when we deeply connect with a man on other levels (emotional, intellectual, spiritual) we feel a strong need (our own yearning) and obligation (to please) to reciprocate, sexually. Our temptation is to use sex to get more love (remember how much we women romanticize) from a man and validate the love we are already feeling from him. As leaders, Christian men can reassure us of their love, commitment, and devotion that will not fade when we choose not to go all the way during temptation. That is, the world tells we women if we don’t have sex with a man, we’ll lose him to someone else who will, or that we owe men sex in return for pursuing us and sweeping us off our feet. It’s a crock (if the men are decent and worth being with anyway), but some of it sinks in now and then.
A Christian man who puts Christ and participating in Christian service/ministry might see dating as an opportunity to show a woman that he is willing to devote himself to her like Christ did to the church. This perspective might come from knowing that Christ gave to the church more (= to love, devotion, romantic pursuit from a man to a woman) before expecting the church to understand how to receive and give back to Him (= to sexually giving from a woman to a man) and it was all in the context of the deepest of commitments (= to marriage).
God bless all you men who care enough about your relationships with women and with Christ to read this feminine perspective. I hope I have helped you see a little more into what women need and that you can be the best men God intended you to be.
