 So you’re a Christian and you need to meet someone new. You probably realize by now, and we don’t have to tell you, that this is not always easy, for “As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters” (Song of Solomon 2:2, 3). It is hard enough to meet someone in the first place, let alone someone of the same faith. You can try to meet people at Church, but that gives you a pretty short list of people to choose from. Finding people with the same values as yourself can be difficult. Hence, the Christian internet dating website. Of course, not all online Christian dating service sites are created equal. Here is what you should look for in a dating site as a Christian.
Robust Profiles These sites screen out all the obvious weirdoes and scammers, but nevertheless, the more information they can provide, the better. If all you have to go on is a name and an age, forget it. You are looking for a site that offers pictures, background, short bios and so on. The more the better, but don’t settle for anything less than pictures and a bio. Ability to Filter You probably have a preference beyond simply wanting to date another Christian. Sure, faith is a priority, but what else is a priority? Are you athletic, and need someone who can run with you at the park? Do you like to cook and need someone who shares that same interest? You should be able to filter your search results down to just the dates that are most in line with what you are looking for. Free to Join Most good dating sites use advertising to make their money rather than membership fees or anything along those lines. It is important to find sites that are free to join because you really never know when one might be a dead end. You will probably want to sign up for multiple sites to catch the bigger fish, so to speak, and if you are paying for each one, those fees add up fast. |
