Hi,
This is my first post on this site. We'll, i can tell you that i have been done online dating a few times now, and for some reason it has never worked out.

I have come to the conclusion that one should rather go to a christian singles site, than these other general dating sites.

There's all sorts of weird things going on on those sites.
With christian sites alot of things are already in place, faith wise, moral wise etc.

And that's something you worry about when you visit the other sites.

So, my suggestion is to rather visit the christian singles sites, or something similiar if you don't have internet.

More to the point. Online dating is great, and a big plus, if you don't prefer to meet people in a pub or other public places. So, i say Yes. Go for it.

Hi, I am new to this chat room or any for that matter. I dont think there is anything wrong with christians dating online. We dont know how God might choose to bring that special person into our lives. I have never dated online, but I would think that whoever chose to try it would just have to be prayerful, use wisdom and just like dating in person, dont get attached to anyone who's values and core beliefs are not the same as yours. Just my thoughts...........

Depends on your motive. Personally I think it can be quite hard to start a genuine relationship with someone online. Youn want to learn things about them, like their relationship with Jesus, how strong it is. I think it is really hard to determine these things when just emailing or talking to them over the phone. Another issue is that the motive is solely to start a relationship that can possibly lead to marriage. The most important and lovely thing in my opinion is to be close friends with that person, get to know them in that way. It is more respectful as well, especially as I`m shocked and reading that some websites have people on them who are just solely interested in sex. That is totally wrong and unhonourable to the other person.

It is best to really pray that God can bring the right person into our live through these websites, or God might have another way of introducing our prospective partner.

Generally I found it hard, but I think with pursuance , patience and pray things can work out

I'd advise to only date from people in your area (driving distance) so that once you can meet them. Somebody already posted that it would be hard to get to know someone just through email, etc. I agree. But if you initially meet through email, then set up a date (in a public place, and always drive separate) it is more likely you will find out who the "real" person is.

Be safe if you do choose to date online. It can be a great way to meet people, but you have to filter out the zeros from the heroes.

Also, I have had a friend almost get conned into sending money to an overseas guy pretending to like her and saying he needed money immediately to help his daughter in the hospital. So beware of scams.

Maybe most of what I said is negative, but there are TONS of quality GOOD men that are in search of a quality godly woman. So there are positives t online dating as well.

I'm interested to see if you have any expereiences...

God created human beings to be very inteligent. Through that intelligence we are able to come up with the internet.
I think it's not bad for Christians to date online, it's just one instrument to socialize. Especially to very busy people, dating online can save time.
Just what gez said, it depends on your motive. If you are serious about having a relationship online, be honest. And let's not forget the power of paryer. We can always ask God for guidance.
