Dating online when you are Christian can be a lot of fun. Many people think that if you are a "real" Christian that you wouldn't date people in the virtual world, but there isn't anything in the Bible about logging on the Internet to find love or just to find someone to have a great time with. Who ever said that Christians don't like to date, too? more…

Perhaps you've heard stories on the news about a person who decided to meet up with another individual they had chatted with online, and never returned home. These occurrences are rare when it comes to online dating, but you need to adhere to some safety tips to make sure that your online dating experience is fun and safe.

Make sure to trust your instinct. If you have a gut feeling that something may not be right about the other person, stick with your instinct. You should always be feeling comfortable with whoever you are chatting. If someone is abusive, block them immediately. There are plenty of other ads to look through, so take your time and view a good number of them.

Before agreeing to a date, make sure you know as much as possible about the person. Never publish your phone number or email address in personal ads. Additionally, don’t provide your home or work address to anyone you have not met. Don’t allow yourself to be talked into anything…you are the one in charge!

Take your time to get to know someone…don’t feel rushed. A patient person will be happy to wait until you are ready to meet. Chat on the phone for a while before arranging a date to get to know each other.

When it comes to the actual date, there are a few things to keep in mind.

• Always meet in a public place that is well known and convenient to you.
• Tell a friend where you are going and who you are meeting.
• Carry a cell phone on the date, and if possible, phone your friend during the date to confirm that everything is fine.
• Try to meet at lunchtime and have a time limit.
• Make your own travel arrangements. Don’t accept a ride home on the first date or reveal your address.
• Keep the date to a time limit so that you have an ‘exit’ point. This way, if you’re feeling uncomfortable, you can politely leave.

3 Online Dating Mistakes to Avoid

While you search the internet for that special lady… the one of your dreams… your soul-mate…the other half, you can do a lot of things right. Sadly, you can, also, do a lot of things wrong…. things that will guarantee failure and a broken heart. Out in the “real” world, being aggressive, demanding perfection and even telling little white lies might be commonplace, but those things are killers when you are dating online and off line, too, for that matter.

There is a big difference between being aggressive or confident and being too aggressive, over-confident, or just plain sleazy or slimy from a woman’s point of view. If you push too hard for a face-to-face, you will come across as too aggressive… maybe even, scary. Try to remember that you are not trying to close a business deal and keep the relationship progressing at a slow but steady pace. Patience is the key.

Nobody is perfect. We are all flawed in some way or another… and that includes you, as well. If you expect the woman to be absolutely perfect and demand that, you will always be disappointed. Demanding perfectionism in your work is one thing. Demanding perfectionism from a friend, co-worker or a lady you are interested in is not just fine. It won’t happen. Expect flaws and just deal with them. Decide the ones you can live with and those you can’t.

Little white lies and false fronts won’t work. Be honest from the beginning of a relationship. Write your profile. Make it interesting but don’t make false statements. The truth will come out eventually anyway. If you say you are a lawyer who makes a million bucks a year and you are really an electrician that makes $75,000, you have set yourself up for failure.

Remember… don’t be too aggressive, expect to ever find perfection or put on a false front.

Before choosing what internet dating service is best for you, you may want to research the pros and cons of the internet dating service industry. There are many bad people on the internet you need to learn how to avoid and not interact with them. Some sites are pretty shady and you want to stay away from those.

Despite that warning, online dating is a wonderful thing and should be widely used! It’s only when the wrong people get into it and try and give it a bad name that it becomes a bad thing. Internet dating services give singles or friends across the globe a chance to connect with one another and share their ideas and views on things. This also gives them a chance to find their soul mate without the pressures of the physical world. Online dating would be the perfect place for people to meet other singles if only people with bad intentions were somehow not allowed into those sites.

While you may be attracted to one of the numerous free online dating services, the truth is many members of free online dating services are out to get you. It’s a fact, they join these sites so they have better access to your personal information and can get to know you in a secret way. There are both female and male violators out there wanting to commit fraud. When you are logged into an online dating service even the owners of the site can fraud you out of your money. When you sign up they can take your information and sell it to others and then use your information to commit crimes. They can steal your money using your credit card or make purchases in online stores with your credit card or other accounts they have gotten.

Before you go filling out a registration form for some online dating service, do a little research and only sign up on a better known site with a good reputation.

Times have changed for single Christians looking to meet someone special. Today, with the Internet and Christian dating websites, meeting people online is not only IN the mainstream, it IS the mainstream.

There are many reasons for the phenomenal growth of Christian online dating sites and the number of people, men and women of all ages, races and religions who use them as their primary source for meeting people and looking for “the one”.

If you don’t believe me, just ask your friends in the “real” world. If they are honest, most of them will tell you they have or are now using an online dating service. The stigma attached to online dating in the past no longer exists.

Here are three good reasons why thousands of people sign up for Christian dating services everyday:

• You can be anonymous. You won't be required to give your real name, address, email address, phone number or place of employment to another online user. You may do so if you want, but only at your own discretion and only when you feel completely safe. Likewise, you are not required to post a picture of yourself, however, will get more responses to your profile if you do post a picture.
• You have so many more choices with an online Christian dating website than you do in the brick and mortar world. Before the days of online dating, the choice of friends and even of lifetime partners was limited to those we came in contact with through church, college or work. Today, the world is your oyster. You can go through hundreds… even thousands of profiles to find the right person for you.

  Make sure you know what you are looking for whether it is friendship or a long-term relationship. There are plenty of fish in the sea, so if you start chatting to someone and then decide they are not what you are looking for, move on to another. Dating is about getting to know people and then seeing if you enjoy spending time with them, so keep this in mind when you are pursuing online dating activities.

• Perhaps the biggest reason of all is the “safety factor.” An online dating service will never reveal your personal information. You get to choose who has that information and when they have it.

Remember, dating is not running a marathon, it is about fun and enjoying someone else's company. Online dating is fast, you can have as much privacy as you want, and it’s cheap.

At the end of the day, it really depends on what you are looking for that matters. In this regard, whilst the bigger personals sites may have more features, like webcam, chat, etc., they are very generalised. By joining a Christian online dating site you are extending your opportunities of meeting someone more closely aligned with your basic Christian values.

With more and more people committing their lives to their faith while searching for a lifetime of love with one partner, it only makes sense that the option of online dating may seem to be one that is not for the single Christian. Nothing could be further from the truth! more…

No matter how you approach dating, it's a game and God understands that you need to play it that way! God must have had a sense of humor when he designed men and women with the idea that they must interact in order to find love together and this book wholehearted recognizes that fact! more…

Meeting singles isnt easy within any group of people, and is made more difficult when approached from a specific set of standards, such as those of Christians. As a result, the field narrows when it comes time to find appropriate places to meet a potential partner. more…

The 2 four letter words I want to talk about today is love and lust. Contrary to what most christian singles believe, the opposite of Love is not Hate but Lust. The majority of the problems I see in most christian singles dating is contributed by lust, our idea of what love is has been given a makeover by the world, we are taught to yield to our flesh. We are told to blame it on our hormones and on the media but I personally think the main culprit is lack of understanding of what love is, the way our Creator intended Love to be. You might understand this truth but is the truth living in your relationship. Or is it a one sided affair a result of dating someone of a different spiritual maturity.

So how does one know what what we are experiencing is love but not lust. more…

Why talk about divorce statistics even before I get serious with dating? Well, simply because most people started out in the wrong path right from the day they conceive the idea of dating. I cannot verify the following divorce statistics, it was taken from a newsletter sent by Dr Mort Fertel. He said…

It's well known that 50% of FIRST marriages end in
divorce.

During my 10 years of dating after my divorce at age 41, I can't count the number of times I got discouraged about whether the "right one" would ever appear. I dated man after man and had disappointment after disappointment. Sometimes, I felt I was getting closer to the best mate for me. Other times, I took three steps backward before I took another step forward. It was frustrating, sometimes infuriating, and now and then depressing. But, despite everything, I never gave up hope that I would meet a compatible long term partner. And I'm totally convinced that this firm belief that there was someone "out there" just right for me was a key determinant of my success in meeting my second husband. more…
