Internet Dating sites for Christians.....

[MorningGlory]

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.

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!

I agree; I hope that the comparison is not accurate. I don't go to church to meet men...I go there to meet with God. I'm sure this is why most people attend church. Still, there are few singles at my church and most of them are engaged or otherwise committed. I seldom meet a single Christian man who isn't a generation older; usually a widower.

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..

I can see not dating someone who flat out rejects God, but what about those who simply don't know Him?

Are they to be shunned also?

Christians should not 'hook up' with anyone. That is something that's popular in the world but flies in the face of our beliefs. That being said, it's not that non-believers are bad people; it's the fact that there's little common ground. Of course, that's not to say that such relationships haven't worked for anyone....they certainly have.

Same here, I dont want a person who is manipulated by the Devil at his whim and doesn't know it. That relationship would be a mess!!!

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.

Some person at match told my my profile rotted. Or something professional that said the same thing. But, I was straight up about who I am and what I wont compromise on. I'm a tortured artist, egg-headed, control freak who is at the same time a flaky and fanciful person who is moody and dresses like a goth, punk or hippie. I'm chubby, I have a small zoo of rather strange animals (like rats and snakes), I dont eat white food (white flour, ect), I recycle, I'm poor, have a chronic pain disease, Bi Polar disorder and I want to live off the grid in the mountains and only go out in public every so often (Once a month other than church seems good). why do I want my inbox full of people that expect me to attend a lot of functions, be athletic, have money, and who also have problems with tattoos, hate animals or being alone. And since when am I compatible with a Muslim or Buddhist? I'd rather have an empty mailbox most of the time and know that the ones who arent offended or irritated or bored by me in print just might actually understand or respect me.

I have a really old profile, I subscribed for like half a year and then went to unpaid. I got winks, tonnes of them. But there just wasn't anything that I could find really worth the time it took to keep the subscription going. The things Match and other places use to figure who is going to be compatible just astound me. Ok, so we both like to watch movies, big fat hairy deal. It's a rare bird that doesn't. I'd read the profiles and go, eh, probably a nice person but nothing that would be able to put up with me and my eccentricities. So I dropped it. And I figure winks are probably unpaid members just like me. Periodically I clear out all my junk on that site but I've come to the conclusion that if they aren't local, and few actually are, I'd be too wierded out to date them anyway.

What makes those people bad? Did you not fall into that catagory at one time?

It's not about them "being bad" but it's not advisable to be with a non-believer. It's about "building upon" common ground. And that common ground being a "commitment to Christ and His teachings". Also a non-believer wants to be numero uno but that's God's place in a Christian relationship.

How do non-believers become believers?

Common ground.

Just because someone doesn't know Christ, doesn't mean they automatically reject Him. The bible speaks of such people and the words are not harsh.

Also a non-believer wants to be uno numero but that's God's place in a Christian relationship.

Now you're just being silly.

You're going on past experiences. Not everyone is like that.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not saying all non-believers are nice people, that would be stupid.

But I hear this all the time, "We are to be Christ-like".

Who were His friends when He walked the earth?

Who were the people that He preached too?

What sort of people did He call to become His disciples?

We shouldn't write someone off just because they don't know Christ. We were all there at one time.

Dating a non-believer doesn't mean you have to spend the rest of your life with them.

You never know, your witness might be exactly what that person is looking for.

Peace.

Oh my goodness...! The thought of dating someone, only to find we are not suited fills with me with dread!!

I want God to lead me to Mr Right on the first go!! LOL..

And of course, there are times when God unites a believer with a non-believer...for His grand plan.

If I sounded harsh or unloving in my previous responses, honestly, that WASN'T my intention.
