Is Online Christian Dating Difficult?
11-02-07

Online Christian Dating is actually easier than real dating.  Really!  Why is this so, well let's take a look at some of the factors.  First, what is involved in dating?  Dating, in general, involves time, effort, money, patience, risk, emotional energy, freedom and a multitude of other resources that are often draining.  How does dating online Christians compare?  Well it is the same, but there is a major advantage in online Christian Dating.  In one word it is technology.  It is the nature online Christian dating that incorporates technologies which allow you to maximize the effectiveness of your search.  These advantages include a listing of other available members, easy communication tools, safety in anonymity.

 

 


Let takes these one at a time, the first is a listing of available members.  In the Christian dating world you are supplied immediately with a large directory of other potentially like-minded candidates who are searchable by multiple criteria and their basic information is available at your fingertips.  This is old news for some but lets take this in a traditional perspective.  Imagine going to a Christian church community event where all Christians present were single.  You enter the event and are given a nametag and then you proceed to a large area with hundreds of people talking.  Sound familiar?  What is happening here in regards to finding a potential date?  First, you are not interested in all the people in attendance.  Not that they are not nice people, but they are of different age, live in areas that are too far away or have completely different life interests.  In this situation you will have a difficult chance on meeting anyone you may have interest in.  Now lets paint the picture of online dating using the same story line.  Okay, you are given a name tag and when you enter the event you are given a directory of even member with basic to advanced information on their age, where they live, what are their general interests, what career they hold or are pursuing, what is their Christian faith and how it affects their life and so much more.  Additionally, all members standing alphabetically so that you are easily able to find who you would like to meet!  Can you imagine!  Yes, this is unrealistic in physical world, but through technology this is what you get and so much more in the online world.  Oh yes, the directory that you were given with thousands of names, well with technology you can find within seconds the person you think you would like to meet.

 

 


The next advantage is communication.  Image again you are attending the Christian church community event where all Christians present were single.   In large groups like this, people usually form small groups of two to five people who are all talking about a multitude of topics.  You are welcome to join any of these groups but you may not be able to talk about the things that you would like to talk about and with the people you would like to talk with.  Again, this is where technology plays a large role in Online Christian dating. Online you can reach out and talk to any person about any topic you would like to talk about.  This topic could be based upon something you read in a profile or it could be anything you find fun or meaningful. Additionally, when you are at a Christian event, the only opportunity you have to communicate is when the event is in progress.  Now with Online Christian Dating, you are not limited by the length of the even, but rather can talk to any member at anytime.  Also, you can send topics to another member and this person will be able to respond when they are able.  You can be assured that your message is sent and received.  Even more, you will multiple methods of communicating.  These include private messaging or real time chat where conversations occur in real time fashion. 

 

 


The final advantage is anonymity.  Browsing profiles, sending messages, finding potential Christians who you may want to date can all be done without worry of repercussion.  Your email address or other contact information can be disclosed at your pace when you feel comfortable and at your leisure.  Also, you may choose no longer to have conversation with certain members.  Try avoiding someone in a Christian event!  It doesn't work and is not easy to do without feeling uncomfortable.  Online you can choose to not receive message from members leaving you free to continue on without pressure of unwanted communication or running into someone that you do not like to talk to.  So, you may ask, how do I know if this person is a good person or not?  The answer is simple.  True character and Christian faith cannot be faked.  Someone cannot pretend to be something that they are not, all of the time.  A person's character will come through as they communicate to you.  Again you will disclose your personal information when you feel comfortable. It will be a situation where you will want to take the next steps and not the situation where you will feel pressured.  Therefore, you can have the security of anonymity while still being able to find someone who may share common interests as yourself.

 

 


Therefore, advantages online Christian dating which include a listing of other available members, easy communication tools, safety in anonymity, actually make dating easier.  The advance of technology will make your effort more efficient, lessen your time spent and give you a greater number of people you can relate to.  Online dating allows you to spend less time, effort, money, emotional energy, risk and freedom when finding someone potentially significant.  In one word, technology has truly made Christian Dating easier!
