Internet Dating sites for Christians.....

I tend to send more winks than I do emails on Match because it's more convenient. There are so many profiles that are not subscribed it's almost not worth while to email each and every one you have an interest in. I can tell you that so far none of those I have emailed have written back.

I think that's part of the problem- convenience does not denote "special". Winks suggest one is spreading himself out too thin instead of focusing on certain criteria. I understand there are alot of rude people who won't even respond when they get an actual email, and when that happens, move on. However, I don't consider it rude to ignore a wink because even though it could be just a shy man who is sincere, it gives off the impression of insincerity and that you have too many women to give your attention to a very select few. People like to feel special and with women that is most definitely true.

You guys are amazing Xan! God certainly was helping both of you out there with all those coincidences!

It's amazing how much I have seen God in our relationship. We have Bible studies together, we pray together. We lift each other up and encourage each other. He introduced me to his denomination (PCA), and he had no idea the connection it had with a movement I had belonged to for three years (Messianic). His church was just okay, and without me saying anything, he looked for another one, and I fell in love with the new one immediately. So, in a very short time, we even found a place to worship together. We almost always seem to be in step with one another, and I'm learning to trust someone enough to be vulnerable. When I stop to consider God's presence in our relationship, I feel so overwhelmed, I start to cry. I never knew true love could ever be like this.

I know Christians who have changed Churches specifically to find a mate if their current Church is lacking in potential life partners.

The secular world has a similar custom. Every night, just before the taverns close, they will move from one tavern to the next, looking for someone to take home for the night.

Is fellowship going the way of the dodo?

It's difficult to meet a good Christian that is not already married, especially for those of us who are older. By older I mean not early 20s; I certainly don't consider myself old. Obviously, they are out there, but unless one leaves a good church to specifically go to one with a large single's ministry, it's hard to find a suitable mate in church for those that are past the age of 25. Dating sites are popular because it gives us more options and a greater chance of finding one who is right for us and compatible. I don't think it replaces fellowship because it removes or lessens the temptation of leaving the fellowship of a church where one is getting fed to go to another for the sole purpose of dating. Obviously, there is fellowship in dating, so once again, such sites are not removing that aspect.

Ouch! I realize the practice of switching churches to find a mate is not a good solution, but that's a pretty harsh comparison. I'm not sure if it's accurate; although, it could be. Still.... ouch!

Lots of good discussions here. You know worthy should have some kind of Dating platform too. I know a lot of people here would use it. Including myself.. we all participate here and love each other's company. Some of us have become lifelong friends with each other.. if we could also find potential lifelong partners why not! This way, fellowship will not go the way of the dodo lol.. atleast not that fast!

Should christians only hookup with christians?

Are non-believers bad people?

It would be advisable....your foundation would be the same. That's important.

There is NO WAY I would date a non - believer....

I know God does lead Christians to non-believers who will eventually become Christians down the track

but after my experience (being with an atheist for 12 years), no thanks..
