5 Tips to Meet Christian Singles Online
1. Your Profile: Include a picture of you smiling and preferably not posing – look natural but happy. If you want people to know you're funny, or fun loving – then tell them something funny, or fun that you love to do. Don't just blurt out the obvious, give details and insight into exactly what makes you tick. In the Christian online dating world, showing rather than telling will help you stand out from the crowd.
2. Correspondence: Humor is the quickest way to win over Christian singles. Be light-hearted in email and chatting correspondence. Try to stay away from the 20 questions game, and leave serious topics, such as their 5 year plan for the future, or the past relationships, out of the equation. Be simple, upbeat, and remember to ask questions! Nobody wants to read a novel about you in email form. Try to create a dialogue.
3. Use Compliments: For example, you could start off correspondence with: "Where did you get that amazing (insert any positive physical trait, such as smile, hair, eyes, etc.)" When trying to meet Christians, it's a good rule of thumb to remember that everyone loves a little flattery, and compliments are a fun and easy way to break the ice. However, don't go overboard, which can backfire and make the other person suspect that you're fake, or that you hand out compliments to everyone without a second thought.
4. Use Spell Check: Reading an email full of grammar and spelling mistakes is cited as a turn-off in nearly every online dating poll ever conducted. Even worse are the people who intentionally misspell words, making it sounds as if a hipster 12 year old wrote the email. It's ok to let a mistake or two slip through the cracks, but get in the habit of re-reading your correspondence before you hit send.
5. Focus on Fun: Don't talk about marriage, commitment, children, or deal breakers before you've even met the person! Christian internet dating often leads to the same boring get-to-know you questions that quickly get old. So stick to fun topics that will put a smile on each other's faces. For instance – what's your favorite type of gelato? What? Never tried Gelato? You've just come up with your perfect first date option. Or you could ask about their ideal road trip destination, favorite bottle of wine, you get the picture. The idea is to lead into shared interests and possible activities for you to participate in together in the near future. THEN, you can get to the heart of the heavy, pressing matters, if you wish.
