Ever wonder where Christian singles meet other Christian singles for dating and/or dating? I know a few lonely Christian singles in one of the small groups I run who sure do. A typical question in our support group goes like this: “So how do I meet a nice Christian girl?”
Being curious ourselves (aren’t you?), we decided to do some research on the internet. What we found was quite interesting. For example, in 2003 American demographics surveyed more than 1,500 engaged couples to find out how they found each other. Here are the results:
Top Ways Singles Meet for Dating
So what are Christian singles supposed to do with these findings?
Start by noticing that each of the main ways singles meet other singles is through them. doing something.
In Matthew 7, Jesus encourages us to practice a proactive kind of faith when he said, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and To the one who knocks, the door is opened”.
Of course, our Lord could answer the simple prayer of a single Christian, and supernaturally drop his perfect match on his slip. That would be great! But more often than not, He wants us to broaden our faith by putting ourselves in a “seek and knock” prayer position.
I realize there are some Christians who feel that by their inaction they are being spiritual and submissive to the Lord’s will for their lives. But our God is a God of action, and he calls us to imitate him, as long as we do it with faith and humility.
So, in light of the singles dating survey above, here are some practical, faith-filled steps that a Christian single interested in dating could take:
- Circulate your stock. Let your family and friends know that you are looking for a partner and ask them to keep an eye out for you. Don’t be ashamed, but step forward in faith. Unless you express your needs, they will not be able to help you. Remember that they know you best and can find a good match for you.
- Get out of your comfort zone. Every year more and more Christian singles use online Christian dating services. Consider doing the same, and as you go along, remember most of the best Christian Matchmaking sites [http://christian-dating-service-plus.com/christian-matchmaking-sites/] offers free trial memberships. Another positive aspect of online dating is that you can search databases for the exact type of person you are looking to meet, all in your own local area. Just make sure you read up on online safety dating tips before venturing out.
- Take the time to participate in some fun activities that you enjoy. This could be as simple as attending a church singles group, hobby club, gym, or sporting event. These are natural ways to meet other singles in your area of passion and interest.
- Don’t put all your eggs in one Easter basket. Diversify your efforts by putting all of the above into action.
- keep a positive attitude. In part, this means claiming God’s wonderful promises of blessings and provision in his life (Psalm 37:4, Jer. 29:11, Prov. 3:5,6). Remember, He is in control and knows exactly what you need, when you need it. Has it ever failed you in the past? It’s a done deal then!
Overall, putting the following dating tips for Christian singles into practice should help you “break the ice” in meeting other available Christian singles.
