I'm not sure a lot of Christians realize the true benefits of online dating. In fact, they rarely advise much dating at all.
The problem with refraining from dating and all, is that you won't be able to take the time to meet your proper match. It's no wonder a lot of marriages fail when people don't take the time to meet and fully connect with the person before they get married. So having said that, here are the benefits of online dating for Christian singles.
Although you may get lucky and meet someone in your neighborhood or at your local church...the chances are against you. Dating online opens up a whole whole new world of possibilities. You can take your time going through profiles seeing who interests you, and then build a connection from there.
Don't try and convert the person you are interested in. The purpose of dating is not to gather more followers of Christ. Hopefully you'll find somebody who matches your faith, but it's not in your best interest to be giving Sermons every day.
When online dating you should definitely be careful about how much personal information you give out. Use a throwaway email when registering for your account. That way, if somebody starts bothering you all you have to do is get a new e-mail and start again. Also be very wary of giving away your phone number too early. As well, don't give away your address or your place of work. It's best to keep those details private until you've had a significant amount of time to get to know the person.
In your actual profile be sure to state what your faith means to you specifically, so that you can attract people that are on the same wavelength. Remember, it may take a little time but don't give up. You may get messages from several people who don't spark any interest. But if you stick at it, you will meet someone special.
One of the most well respected Christian dating sites on the Internet is Christian cafe. They are the only online Christian dating site that is actually run by real Christians. Other dating sites are owned by conglomerates that don't actually share your faith. On top of that, Christian cafe is known for having the warmest and friendliest online Christian singles community. While their graphics and interface may need some updating they have over two million people registered worldwide and have one of the largest database of positive testimonials I have ever seen. You can easily sign up for a free 10 day trial with them right now. The great thing about the trial is that it offers you all of the features that they have. Other dating sites offer free trials then they limit what features you can actually use. For example, they won't allow you to post pictures, or send instant messages. Just be sure when you're registering your free trial membership to clearly and honestly fill out their questionnaire. It's what allows other members to get an idea of what you're all about.
