Christian Personals: Singles Getting Personal in Ads(talk Christian personals?)

Christian personals

Christian personals are personal ads that single Christians create in order to find a date and soulmate. This is the ultimate goal of a Christian personals ad. That’s why if you are a Christian single submitting Christian personals, you want to get as many potential mates reading your personals ad as possible. The simple reason is that the more the number of singles reading your Christian personals, the more the number of potential dates from which to choose.

This holds true whether you place your Christian personals ad through a newspaper, or through online Christian dating services. By the way, an online Christian personals ad is sometimes referred to as a dating profile. There are some subtle differences, but dating sites have so blended the two that they are now used interchangeably.

Although we previously wrote an article on how to write a great online dating profile, this Christian personals article centers on one aspect of your profile: the part where you share some personal stuff about yourself. The more details you give about yourself in your Christian personals ad, the more replies you will get. And that’s what you want, right?

Getting Personal in Your Christian Personals Ad

Writing a Christian personals ad about oneself can be difficult for some people, especially if they’re love shy. In order to get started, begin thinking about what you may look for when reading a Christian personals ad. Once you do that, use the following questions as a flexible guide to help you write your own great Christian personals ad:

How would you describe yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually?
What is your line of work? What do you actually do when at work? What do you love or hate about it?
What are your passions, hobbies and interests? What are your dreams for the future? Do you have any particular thing that you’re really good at? Are you someone who’s a homebody, or do you like the great outdoors and open spaces?
How long have you been a Christian? What kind of church do you attend? How do you serve Jesus in the church? What are your spiritual gifts?
What’s your favorite kind of music, food, animals? Do you have a pet?
What’s your idea of a great date? How far would you travel to meet a date?
How do you feel about children? Would it be difficult for you to be with someone who had kids?

Finally, remember that writing a Christian personals ad should be a fun experience. Don’t stress out if you find that you can’t write that “perfect Christian personals ad” because there is no such thing. Just commit your Christian personals ad to the Lord and allow Him to work.

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.
