When connecting with someone through a Christian dating service safety, is
important, go slow, exercise caution, use your intuition and follow your gut!
In the Beginning remain anonymous.
When filling out your profile, remember it’s about your likes, dislikes and
personality. No personal contact information.
Protect your location for instance if you live in a large city with several
Baptist churches and you attend a Baptist church, no harm in saying so. However
if you live in a small town that may have only one Baptist Church, you may be
giving out to much information. The same rule applies to where you work!
Once you have made a connection
Use only the email provided with your Christian dating service membership! As a
relation progresses you may want to consider using a free throw away email from
Yahoo or hotmail.
Give yourself time to really get to know and develop a feel for the person via
email and chat rooms. Don’t allow yourself to be pressured into giving private
contact information or meeting in person until you are completely comfortable!
As the relationship progresses.
You have exchanged emails, spent a few hours together in a chat room and you’re
feeling comfortable. If your connection has asked you to call them on the phone
( a good sign) give them a call but with some precautions.
When calling from your home phone block your caller I.D. for the first few calls
by dialing *67. Your telephone number can be used to track you down. To see how
easy this is go to Google.com and type in your phone number, the result will be
your home address. Next type in your address and up pops a map with driving
directions to your house!
Before you meet in person.
As stated above, even though you met them through a Christian dating service
safety is important. Just to be on the safe side check them out on sites like
The National Registered Offender List
If you want to check them out in depth you may want to use a service such as
Web Detective, which
is very dependable service that has been online for many years!
