There are currently a number of myths surrounding online dating and Christian singles websites in general. This article aims to clarify these misconceptions and is meant to aid you in your attempts at finding that perfect life partner online.
Myth #1: “The words of The Bible define pre-marriage guidelines clearly”
This is simply not true. Check over the postings at any number of Christianbased datingwebsites and this point will become clear. Yes, there are many biblical principles that are considered essential in dating, but you will be hard pressed to find any specific guidelines for Christian dating practices.
Myth #2: “Christian singles websites differ greatly from other matchmaking services”
Through my research I found very little difference between the services offered by established online dating communities such as eHarmony and Matchmaker.com, and Christian specific sites such as Christian Cafe or Adam Meet Eve. If anything I found the popular more established services more effective. Unfortunately, many of the Christian singles websites can be quite limiting. Their lack of structured options for matching up compatibility was frustrating and more time consuming than was really necessary. I met a wonderful Christian woman in the Fall of 2007 and it wasn’t on one of the numerous Christian singles websites I regret to say.
Myth #3: “Looking for love online isn’t a very Christian way of going about it”
This is simply nonsense. As myth #1 states, there are no predefined guidelines for the right or wrong way to meet a life long partner. Meeting a prospective mate online, whether through one of the Christian singles websites, or a service like Matchmaker.com, is one of the most effective means of finding a soul mate in today’s society. It serves as an effective way to “break the ice” without the pressures involved within the singles dating scene. My success with finding a wonderful woman over the Internet serves as a good example of this. Regretfully, it wasn’t through one of the Christian singles websites.
Myth #4: “I will never meet a quality Christian man/woman through a computer”
More nonsense! One important fact is that your computer is just the tool that can be used to meet someone you would have never met without it. Think about it, If for example you are attending a party with other Christian singles in attendance, There’s only so much time available to talk to each individual and try to determine the level of compatibility you both share. You would basically have to devote the whole party to one or two individuals total. When using a free online matchmaking service, or one of the Christian singles websites for instance, you can get the initial compatibility out of the way much more efficiently.
I hope this article cleared up some of the common myths surrounding online matchmaking and Christian singles websites. Remember, In order to broaden your scope in your search for the perfect soul mate, try not to limit yourself to Christian singles websites alone, As in my case, the real success was found by broadening my search to other free dating services. With over 33,000 marriages annually, I have no qualms recommending the service my fiance and I had success with.
I wish you the best of luck in your future search for the perfect life partner!
