Practicing Christians often find
that the modern world of dating
is confusing and somewhat disturbing.
Christian singles dating has its fair share of concerns,
but there are, as you will see, many bright spots as well.

If you identify yourself as a Christian,
then it shows your faith is very important to you.
Though you understand that we all sin,
despite our best efforts,

you most likely don't want to purposely do anything
that would be considered overtly sinful.
Dating other Christians
that have the same understanding will make things go more smoothly.

Some Christians think that the act of dating is a sin,
but it isn't.
However, there are a lot of potential traps to watch out for,
but dating itself is not a sin.
Perhaps the biggest example of this
is physical intimacy and how far you can take it.

A hug or gentle touch may be fine,
but sleeping together before marriage isn't.
A lot of people in the dating scene are only concerned with sleeping together,
and that's one good reason for seeking out other Christian singles;
they won't be pre-occupied with when to "do it".

The internet has made it easier to connect with other single Christians.
There are several Christian singles dating websites online,
but they are not all created equal.
If your faith is important to you,
then it makes sense that you would only want to deal with a website
that shares your values.

While there are many dating sites that claim to be Christian,
it's a good idea to do a bit of research
before using a particular site.
See what their mission statement is,
and try to find out about the beliefs of the people who run the site.

Once you find a Christian dating website that you like,
you need to fill out your profile.
You may be tempted to exaggerate your good points,
but be careful that you don't cross the line into lying.
We all fall short, and if anybody understands that,
it's another Christian.
To put it simply, be honest when filling out your profile.

As we are talking about Christian singles dating,
now would be a good time to mention differing beliefs.
There are hundreds of denominations that call themselves Christian,
but there can be major differences among them.
Those differences may or may not matter to you (or to your potential partner),
but it's best to be up front about the details of your beliefs.

Furthermore, some of the more strict denominations
may have rules that govern dating,
and that can include who you date.
If you are unsure,
then be sure to have a discussion
with your priest or minister.

After you meet somebody and start dating,
you will need to be sure
that your Christian values remain a priority.

There will be temptations and pitfalls along the way,
but keeping your focus
on what's truly important
will help you to stay on track.
Christian singles dating has a lot in common
with other people who are dating,
but there are also a few differences;
differences that will ultimately make for a better relationship.
