Yes, christian internet dating, do you think its a scam, or is it safe. Has anyone used a site like this. Has anyone met anyone through a site like this, and what do you think about a internet romance from a site like this. I would love to hear your opinions in this?????Thank you in advance.

I'd want to be extremely careful about this - not just b/c I'm a Christian - but many people can pose as Christians who are of other sects or cults. N.B.: I'm not referring to ANY member on this site!

Thank you, actually you are right, in my experience of late I found a lot of very unbalanced people on the site who posed to be christians but were not. Thank you, for the warning GBU

I have a friend who met her husband on a Christian internet dating service. They are in their 6th year of marriage and are blessed. However, my brother met his second wife through a Christian dating website. They were married for about 12 years. The internet dating service was not to blame for their eventual separation: I think that the problem, in their situation, was that my brother was too eager to marry and chose his wife from her picture, corresponded online for a couple months, met her only once and married her.

I think that the internet can help you to meet potential suitors, but it is still important to spend a lot of time together in person before deciding to commit.

When you are signing up for an internet dating service, pay attention to the questions that they ask you. Are they superficial or are they about things that really matter? If they website requires applicants to do some deep thinking about their convictions and personality profile I think they are less likely to have "nuts" sign up.

Also, as a safety precaution, my girl friend met her future husband for the first time in the company of some of her family. I think that is a good idea and not out of line with traditional dating standards.

Another thing that someone just pointed out to me yesterday, when we were discussing this, is that when you search online for a partner you will only get a bite from other people that use the internet--and of them, only ones that will actually use it for dating. That precludes ALOT of people and may attract mostly people with poor social skills. (Sometimes they feel more comfortable presenting themselves online than in person.)

Seeing how a potential suitor acts in social situations is essential: Especially observe the way they work with others, the way they handle responsibility and the way they treat people that they don't really like-- believe it or not, that will be the way they treat their future wife on some days. LOL
