Hey all you Christian singles! If you're thinking of looking to meet Christians online, here are a few things to consider when you're doing the online dating thing...

  • Join a paid dating site. I know it's tempting to join a free one, but these are playgrounds for spammers and scammers. If you want to find real people who are serious about dating, you'll find them on singles sites where a financial commitment is required. Scammers and spammers don't like to pay!


  • Always err on the side of caution. There's plenty of time, so don't be afraid of being cautious to begin with. When you're sure the person you're communicating with is genuine, you can start to open up more. Don't assume that just because the singles site you choose is a Christian one, everyone is nice! Always guard your personal information.


  • If it comes to meeting, meet somewhere public, such as at church. You may think I'm sounding paranoid by now, but I want to make sure you have a safe and successful dating experience. Tell someone else when and where you are meeting, just in case. Better safe than sorry.


  • Check everything out with your friends. When you fall head-over-heals and swoon every time you get email, this is the time to check with your friends that you're not being blinded by that lovin' feelin'. Believe me, it's easy to do crazy things when you're in love; your friends will give you some more down-to-earth perspective...


  • Pray about it! And finally, give the whole thing to God. He has a great way of opening things up, or closing things down, if you give Him the chance. He wants the best for you!
