A Chritian dating service good or bad?

That Christian Mingle service looks sketchy to me. And sure, it would be great to meet a guy at church, but at my church, the only guys my age are already married. My parents met at a church, my grandparents met at church, and even my sister met her husband at church. I don't know where I'm going to meet my future husband. But it won't be on Christian Mingle.

I think churches have a lot of activities for people (young and old) that they could participate in. Usually this to help the community and even the church itself. It is with these activities that people tend to meet other people. Of course these are all volunteer work. I think having a Christian Mingle site just provides the venue for meeting other people without the hassle of having to 'volunteer work'.

Well, i believe that God will bring you together if you are meant to be but i suppose this is an ok way to meet other Christians. i know several Christians that have met and married through Christian dating services or Christian chats.

Christian is human just like anybody else and so certainly needs a dating service.

There is nothing saying how two people can and can't meet. Many people get set up by others that is what a dating service is just like any other person putting you together with someone else that they feel is a match to how you are. Nothing wrong if someone uses or not. Although I find people that do use it to be either one just lazy and don't want to get out there ask people out or they just don't know what to do. Nothing wrong with getting help but you should at least try it on your own because that is what dating is about.

Like this site I think that any religion is prohibited by the divine .. As I understand that the purpose of which do things prohibited by God . But if it were to reconcile men and women who want to marry, I think that there is nothing wrong with that .. But all dating sites aimed at the first not the second is not it?

If I was single, a Christian dating site is the LAST place I'd go... I think maybe because some churches don't have good choices, either the one looking is not attracted to anyone or all the ones that might work out, already have a girl/guy. I know when I went to this church, there was no one my son's age, even though he is still too young to date, but if we had stuck around, he would have no choices at all...

Hi sarahruthbeth, I see nothing wrong with it as long as one is careful, nothing is ever foolproof. If you want to meet like minded people, than it's fine. Blessings.

I don't see why not. Maybe you're in a small church in a small town, and there isn't anybody. You meet people online who you never would have met otherwise, and sometimes you can actually meet the right person that way.

I think that it can be a great thing to be able to have dating services for people who have similar interests. Your religion can take up a lot of time in your life, and this can mean that if you can meet other people who feel the same way as you do about it, you're much more likely to be able to get on with them and be able to have religion in their lives the way that you want them to. But I don't think that any Christians should be scared of dating non Christians, as there are a lot of people who will still be respectful of your religion even though they might not believe in the same thing.

I think it's a good idea. The church is a place to learn about God, not hook up with chicks. There's dating sites for everyone of every belief.

Hi Sarah! Online dating is commonly done by people who want to meet their partners from another country of places. In online dating one can select profiles that are appealing to their interests and then one could choose only the best of all the rest.. but in reality this is not always true. Many people are deceitful, trying to hide their true identity. Many are not "stick to one" and are perfectly defined as "collect and maintain as many as they are". Sadly, many hopeful persons seeking to find their match online find themselves broken in the end. I know some people who became successful in online dating but there are are only few of them. Precautions are needed when using those online dating sites. So in answer to your question, christhian dating could be good or bad. It depends on your own definitions but as for me it is a very risky thing.

Like any dating service online, you will have to be careful with who you meet, but I think dating in general has gone more high tech. It's easier to get to know someone through informal contact such as the internet, than it is to pick someone out of a crowd. It allows you to get know someone before you start dating them, rather than risking a first date that could end in disaster. As far as meeting someone in church, I think it's still better, because a person might represent themselves better in church than what they really are, then when you get know them you see they may not be the best choice for you. Dating sights have the same problem, but at least when you're in front of a computer you can dig up the real dirt on that person before you've wasted your time going out on a date.

I don't think that is a bad thing for christian dating. At least, there is still a choice to change their minds not to like the date. Other religion, they have the practice of matching the members. So there will be no choice to choose.

I had a gig once writing up profiles for dating sites. Some of them were gay, lesbian, BDSM, senior, Christian, etc. The one thing I'd caution anyone, whether Christian or otherwise, is to be careful about whom it is you're speaking to. Other than that, you do have to be prepared for people to be very particular if they're actually concerned with meeting a long-term mate instead of "dating" ('dating site' can be misleading, as some promote marriage). The idea behind niche sites, of course, is not for people to branch out to try new things per se, but rather the opposite. The idea is to expand your particular niche. So if you're a southern Baptist, the odds might be good that you're not looking for any old Christian. You may not even attempt to hit it off with a Catholic. But with a dating site, you can find someone from another state believing exactly how you do. So if that's something someone may be interested in, then a dating site is a great way to go for it. For every boy-meets-girl story happening in a hometown or a school or a church, etc, there are plenty of people who can't find their match. We might shine a brighter light on those small-town USA lovers who grew up together like Forrest and Jenny or Jack and Diane, but the reality is that not everyone finds that. So another thing the Internet offers with dating sites is a wider scope. You won't have to settle based on a numbers game or just become the cat lady who chases kids off the lawn. Reach out and love somebody!
