Your church or place of worship can be a great place to make friends and meet singles who are in the same position as you. As a single Christian, regular visits to your church can offer you a great opportunity to widen your social circle and get to know other worshippers who may be looking for a relationship like you. If a budding romance does happen, you’ll also be safe in the knowledge that it’s with someone who shares your religious beliefs and may share your attitude to love, sex and marriage. If you don’t think there’s enough going on for singles at your church, why not take the initiative and volunteer to organise some events and outings? There’ll be plenty of people who’ll be grateful that you did and even if love doesn’t blossom, you’re sure to make some great new friends.
Christian events
Did you know there are Christian concerts, seminars, and even Christian theatres out there? Network Christians for example provide events for Christian singles in the UK, including Christian days out and holidays. Grab some friends and head to one of the events in the thriving UK Christian scene and you’ll be sure to bump into someone who’s also interested in Christian dating. There are also lots of listings online for music, festivals and arts events, not to mention dozens of talented Christian rock groups to get those feet tapping.
Friends and family
Meeting potential dates through friends or family is a popular route taken by the Christian dating population. Being introduced to people through those you already know and trust is a brilliant way to find people to date who are on your wavelength. You can increase your chances of romantic success by making sure you accept all invitations that come your way, even those you wouldn’t usually attend. Broaden your horizons by asking your friends and acquaintances if there’s anyone they haven’t yet introduced you to, and go out as a group so you don’t feel under pressure to hit it off.
Online dating for Christians
Last but not least, online Christian dating is an excellent choice if you want to broaden your horizons and meet other Christians who you might not necessarily encounter in your everyday life. Dating online gives you the chance to focus your approach and go for the type of dating partner you really want, rather than leaving things up to chance. If you’d like someone who shares your focus on God and your outlook on life in general, then this could be the Christian dating method for you. Sites like match.com and matchaffinity.com allow you to customise your dating profile with your own personal details and photos, and to include what you’re looking for in a partner. Be open about your faith and what it means to you; but also talk about your interests - adding a bit about your hobbies and how you like to spend your free time will show likeminded singles who you are and help them to connect with you. Remember that with online dating you are fully in control of your search for love and can choose to take things at your own pace. If the other person is sincerely interested in you, he or she will want you to feel comfortable and will be happy to take things slowly.
