Perhaps one of the greatest fears single Christians face is the fear of being alone. Some of us fear being alone as we contemplate the possibility of growing lonely, old and sick. I know of one single gal who actually works herself into an anxiety attack as she thinks about the fear of being alone. Yet, she paradoxically also has a fear of commitment. Go figure.
The idea of simply not finding a lifelong, true love relationship is a very real fear. Sometimes this fear of being alone can makes us think and do some crazy stuff. I should know cause I’ve been there, and done that years ago.
Fear of Being Alone Christian Pod-cast
Do you or some other single Christian you know suffer from the fear of being alone? If so, today’s church pod-cast will be an uplifting encouragement to you. Pastor Ron Edmonson of Grace Community Church in Clarksville, Tennessee (TN), speaks about this fear of being alone, and very relevant for Christian dating singles. Enjoy!

Most Christian singles dating are seeking to meet other single Christians who complement them spiritually. However, as many Christian singles dating will also tell you, finding a date or potential mate with similar beliefs is not so easy.
As opposed to non-Christians who have a larger available pool to meet someone, Christian singles dating who are passionate about their faith are much more limited in their choices. These types of single Christians interested in dating will not be cruising the bars or be inclined to date unbelievers.
Christian Singles Dating Choices

Other ways of meeting people include attending events or activities that attract singles, like Christian singles groups.
Finally, there are numerous online Christian singles dating services, both free and paid, that give Christian singles dating an opportunity to meet their dating and spiritual matches.

The convenience of online Christian singles dating sites takes a lot of the legwork out of meeting an individual with a similar faith backgrounds and interests. There are also many other benefits to using an online Christian single dating service.
Overall, whichever route you take as a Christian single interested in dating, whether you use one or combine all of the above, remember that it’s the Lord who is leading you as you wait on Him to provide you with all that you need.

Do you have a single Christian Network in your life? What exactly is a single Christian network, you may ask? No, it’s not the online dating service, Single Christian Network, which we reviewed as being a waste of your time and money.
Defining Single Christian Network
Well, by using single Christian network, we are referring to a group of two or more Christian singles (a network, if you will) who agree to meet regularly online or offline for fellowship, advice and support.
Some examples of a single Christian network would include Christian singles groups, Christian chatrooms and Christian social networks.
Why Use a Single Christian Network?
We find that one of the greatest arguments for using a single Christian network, is so that single Christians can help get answers and advice for some of their most pressing questions and struggles.
I know some of you are just dying to know what some of those issues are, but if you have spent enough time as a single Christian you have already asked some of these questions yourself:
-
What’s wrong with me that I’m still single while most of my friends have found their true love, and have gotten hitched? A single Christian network can help singles with this kind of question work through feelings of low-esteem, depression and discouragement.
-
Is it ok to actively seek a date, or should I just wait on the Lord? Many christians are confused in this area, but a single Christian network can give guidance.
-
How do i get over my recent heartbreak of a failed relationship? Having a single Christian network after having been dissed by the ex will help bring reality to the thinking process.
-
As a Christian single parent, how do I juggle dating life and my kids? Whew! A single Christian network is an absolute necessity in working through this challenge.
-
I’m new to online dating, so how do I start using a Christian dating service?
-
All the good ones are taken, so should I date an unbeliever?
-
Where do I meet some nice, normal single Christians?
There are many more benefits to using a single Christian network, but not enough time to name them all right here.
Are you a single Christian with your own views on single Christian networks?

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.
Are you a single Christian with something to share about Christian personals?

As single Christians, knowing marriage builder tips while dating will lay the foundation toward a healthy marriage relationship when you’re ready to make that commitment. Working in Family Court, I’ve seen lots of unhappy and unhealthy marriage relationships that sure could have used marriage builder tips.
Not surprisingly, a University of Wisconsin study revealed that over 90% of our future happiness is related to the kind of mate we choose to date or marry. Therefore, having a healthy marriage relationship means you have a greater chance at enhancing your happiness.
As Christian singles, we know our true joy, which is eternal, remains in the Lord. However, our happiness, based on transient circumstances, can definitely be affected by poor relationship choices. With divorce rates running between 40 to 50% in the USA, Australia, Europe and Asia, many are nodding their heads in agreement.
Most of us pray for healthy marriage relationships. The following marriage builder quick tips point toward that goal.
Marriage Builder Tips for a Healthy Marriage Relationship
Marriage Builder Tip #1: See Dating as a Means to an End
It all begins with dating, but it should not end there. For single Christians at least, the primary goal of dating should be a healthy relationship culminating in marriage. Otherwise, if you’re really serious about keeping yourself sexually pure before the Lord, why even enter a dating or courtship relationship?
Marriage Builder Tip #2: Know What Kind of Person Makes For A Healthy Relationship
Part of finding a person that makes for a healthy relationship, is knowing and avoiding the kind that doesn’t. For example, single Christians dating unbelievers, or good Christian girls who date bad guys would fall into this category.
Unfortunately, most churches don’t teach singles (teens to seniors) how to attract the right woman or man to date or court. In fact, several reasons we started Christian Dating Service PLUS! was not only to provide informative dating articles in this area, but also to show others how they can meet more single Christians online by expanding their search base.
Marriage Builder Tip #3: Know What it Takes to Have a Healthy Relationship
It sounds too simple, but it’s really true. The more one knows the signs of a healthy Christian dating or marriage relationship, the more likely the chance of creating one. Doesn’t that make sense?

You’ve decided to give online Christian dating a try. Great! But unless you’re really sold on one particular online Christian dating site, the dating advice here is to diversify by using several dating services. There are several positive reasons why you would benefit by using more than one Christian dating service.
Why Try Several Christian Dating Sites?
Dating advice: You can compare sites for FREE before buying
You have nothing to lose by way of money because most online Christian dating sites offer Free trial memberships that allow you to test out their services without obligation. Taking advantage of free trials alllows you the opportunity to test drive before buying into one Christian dating site. (In fact, all the sites listed on our sidebar offer some form of free membership).
As you compare dating services, take into account such things as the cost, the number and location of Christian singles in the database and how user friendly the service is. For example, unless you’re into long distance relationships, what good is a dating service to you if the nearest potential soulmate is half way around the world?
By checking out each service, you will become educated on what makes a good online Christian dating site, and save yourself heartache and time in the long run. This also makes sense when you think about how expensive full membership costs are on some of these sites.
Dating advice: You will meet more available singles in your area
It’s really simple: The more you expand your base, the greater the chance of meeting that special mate. By putting your “eggs in one online dating service basket”, you limit the number and quality of potential matches. For example, one Christian single friend of mine got completely turned off after using eHarmony because they only matched her with one person, and he lived 3000 miles away! Take advantage of the online Christian dating sites that allow you to search the databases for singles in your area.
Dating advice: You can tweak your profile and picture layout
Two of the most important things to get right is writing your dating profile and submitting a decent picture of yourself. This is really a science and an art. If you fail in any of these areas, you will get few responses and have a poor online dating experience.
Joining up for free trial memberships at various Christian dating services allows you the ability to test out your profile and picture layout in different ways. This will allow you to determine which works best for you.
Are you a single person with online dating advice about Christian dating services? Please help other singles by sharing your online dating experiences.
