Christian Dating

When I hear all these grown-ups talking about how fornication, masturbation and premarital sex are all sins no matter what; I sometimes wonder if the people who preach those things are Christians who never had a problem getting a date during adolescence and married in their early 20’s … and therefore never felt true sexual frustration.

I also wonder if these people think of "single" as only unmarried. The so-called ’single christian’ advices are usually aimed at people who are already dating.

But do they ever stop to think about the Christian who simply has not dated ?

What is their advice for these people ? Just wait ? It will happen eventually.

Well, I will tell you what. The only thing "absolutely not masturbating" while one remains completely single causes is – jealousy.

And In my mind, jealousy is a more dangerous sin than all others combined.

I want to hear you. What do you say to the young adult Christian, who has not been blessed with marriage or a dating partner ?
Here’s simple prayer :

"Lord help me to make a good impression of myself when I meet new people"

Every time I find myself in a new situation with new people I pray for this. Yet the only thing i succeed in is embarrassing myself.

I cannot go straight from being single to being married. I know that I have to date first.

All I wish from the Lord is that he help me not to make such a bad impression of myself when i meet new people (especially new women).

It is a rather simple prayer

I cannot even give younger teens advice, because I have no experience from which to draw it from.

Don’t be a hypocrite like them who preach.
Don’t be a snob.
Respect other people’s belief in God.
Don’t allow religion to tamper with your judgments.

A few years ago I read the excerpt of a book on Christianbook.com, I really liked it but because I couldn’t buy it at the moment, I was stupid and never saved the title of the book, or the author. I’ll try and give you the gist of the story but it was a long time ago and I can’t really remember. It’s a romance novel about a girl who is living with her father in another country. [I'm pretty sure they're Americans.] Her father is someone high up in the military and is there for work reasons. They’ve been there for a while now. Anyway she is some with friends at a little shop when a colleague of her fathers comes to pick her up telling her something is wrong and her father sent him to get her to safety. She’s getting into the car when two other men show up. There’s some shooting and the man that come to get her first gets killed, and she is thrown into a car with the other two. It turns out her fathers colleague was actually the one trying to kidnap her and the other two were there to save her. That’s as far as the excerpt went. Does anyone know the book? Thanks!

If you like romance, christian romances tend to be given the classification of "Inspirational."

I have been dating this guy for about a year. God has honestly told me that i dont need to be in a relationship with a guy right now and says i need to end it. I want to marry this guy i LOVE him to death and i want him to wait for me until God says its okayy to start dating, But that seems so selfish and i dont know what to do. I really dont want to break up with him and im just scared because i know im not listening to God. What do i do?

You are so right that it is selfish of you to ask him to wait around for you. Maybe you should talk to your minister or his wife and see what they might advise you to do.Are you sure it was God that told you that ? Why would God not want two nice Christian people to be together ? Sounds like maybe the Guy from down below might have a hand in this.Talk to you minister.He or she will know best for you and your boyfriend.

I have tried www.christiandatingforfree.com with no luck…

There are plenty of christian dating websites, though the best in my opinion christian dating website is Christan Cafe. I used it for a while and I think it is definitely a good place to find a partner for a long term relationship.

I don’t think that any site can make guarantees that you will meet the person of your dreams however you will have a better chance of doing so, if you join a site that has a proven reputation, has an effective matching tools and one that has been in the business of matching christian singles for a while now. One that comes to mind is Perfectmatch. If you come across a site that guarantees that you’ll meet someone run as fast as you can.

Keep God in the middle of your relationship and don’t be afraid to pray with your mate. After all, by staying connected to your spiritual connection, your love will continue to grow and grow and grow. Only when you take God out of the equation and not exhibit unconditional love will you have issues.

I’m in highschool. There is this guy that I’ve liked for a while and we chat on facebook every night. He is really nice, and fun to talk to. Well I’ve really started to like him… but last night I went to his profile, and it said he was an atheist!!!!!! I’m a Christian and I know that I should only date christians….. so I freaked. What do I do? I stop liking him right? We talk every single night. so if i stop talking to him…….. that would seem…. odd. Because he is all: i love talking to you. Idk what to do. Please Help.

Well I’ve dated a guy who was an atheist and it bothered me. I could never get serious about him. It would cause problems in a marriage with children. But you are in school and not at that point in your life. Some people feel funny about their faith and put stuff like that on facebook. They also are not convinced and are confused about their beliefs. Still talk to him, be friends, ask him about that. Maybe this is a chance to help someone who is questioning their faith.

Hi Pal,

Online dating sites are a great success if you use it properly and it can be a big mistake if you just got into some fake profile… christian dating sites are the same…

However if the approach is right than… you can use this online dating site experience as one of the best dating experience of your life time…. and you can do this by not giving your details like your cell phone number or email ids….. and if you are intended to give your E mail id to him or her then you must make a new mail account and chat to him through it…. this can be the right thing and once you are sure that he is worth trusting then you can involve in the things that your heart says… but at first you have to be cautious about the whole thing….. all the best :)
