Christian Dating

The term "Christian" only appears three times in the Bible. It is derived from the Greek word Christianos (khris-tee-an-os') and it is translated as "follower of Christ."  So, what exactly is a follower of Christ? Being a Christian does not simply mean believing in God, or being a good person or just going to church, being baptized or taking communion. Although all this is being done by a true Christian but being a Christian means you have a personal relationship with Christ, by accepting Him as your personal Lord and Savior. Being a Christian means believing in:

• Only one God: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.
• The literal return of Jesus Christ to first claim His own who belong to Him.
• Believe in prayers.

Christian Dating is specifically targeted towards Christians only who believes in dating only for a purpose of a possible marriage and not just dating. For Christians, marriage is getting away from making any sexual immorality. That is why Christian Dating is specifically targeted towards Christians only who have the same beliefs and moral values. Christian singles who are too busy due to their lifestyles and who have very little time to look for their perfect match, would definitely like to meet other Christian singles who share the same moral values and interests as they do.

Christian Dating Safety Tips

While dating online, one should be very cautious of the stranger you are dating with. For a safe Christian Dating, here are couples of simple to follow tips:

• Use an anonymous e-mail account.
• Never post your real name anywhere online.
• Don't rush things - take time to learn about the person before meeting them personally.
• Do not reveal your personal information unless you are sure about the person.
• Don't feel pushed for a phone call or meeting in person. If you feel that you are being pushed, be straightforward and say no. Move at a comfortable pace.
• Chat on the phone a few times... what can you hear in the background? Do background noises match the information you have been told? Is the household supposed to have children, pets, etc.? Listen, Listen, Listen! Remember to block caller-ID until you chose to give your number. Note that if you have been asked to call 800# it’s likely that your phone number will be recorded on the recipient's phone bill.
• Call at unanticipated times! Someone who is interested will always enjoy your call. Does someone unexpected answer the phone? Does your date seem irritable that you are calling unexpectedly? Perhaps they have something to hide.
• Ask to have a family photo! Is your date a 'family man?' Is he/she proud of the children? Do the kids seem to match the details you were told?
• As a part of courtesy, do respond to each email you get from the members interested in you. Even if you are not interested, simply say thanks and God Bless.
• Being a Christian show honor, respect, be kind and gentle to your partner while dating.
• If the other member is not interested in you, let it go.
• No Sex! You're messing with God's child, here.
