What is a Christian dating online service? How does it work? Is it safe?
A Christian dating online service is the safest most reliable way for Christian
singles to connect. New research from the University if Bath shows that:
"Internet dating is proving a much more successful way to find long-term romance
and friendship for thousands of people than was previously thought." (Full

From the safety of home you can preview thousands of
potential contacts.
Most if not all of the online services provide information and pictures of their
members. Pictures and profiles give the ability to decide to initiate a contact
or respond to one.
Joining a dating service is easy and straight forward
The best of the paid services will give a seven to ten day free trial period. A
few sites will allow free membership until you decide to contact another member.
The signup process begins by picking a user name and password. Upon signing into
the site for the first time you will be asked to fill in a profile (profile
writing suggestions) with your personal details and information about what type
of person or relationship you are looking for.
The next step, and you are just wasting your time if you don’t do this step, is
to upload a picture of your self. (How do I upload pictures?)
Online safety and dating safety are two separate but equally important issues.
Online Safety:
If you are providing your information to any website make sure that site is
secure!! For all browsers look at the U.R.L in the address bar, if the U.R.L.
begins with “https:”(see screenshot) then you are dealing with a secure site.

Dating Safety:
Dating safety is all about caution. E-Mail and chat rooms give you the chance to
really get to know the person that you are communicating with. Once you have a
good feel about the person then and only then give your phone number. Make sure
the first meeting occurs in a well lit public place.
