Christian Dating Site Reviews
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your
strength. The second is this: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
Mark 12:29-33
Is there anyone out there looking for a true Christ centered relationship?
Are the Christian dating service and relationship sites really worth the money?
These are 2 questions that many Christian singles are aksing. I decided to get my good friend, Lacey, a single female and
myself, a single male and go out and investigate the online Christian dating websites and services. These are strictly our reviews but my
advice is check out each one. Why do this? Because you don't know which site may have a profile that may cause you to stick around
longer. They all have free trials so its best to check them all out. You have nothing to lose. Currently, we've found only 3 sites
worth considering at this time.
Relationships.com
Relationships.com came in as my number one choice in Christian dating sites of the sites reviewed. I found that this site was easy to use and
offered the most features some of which included live toll free customer service, real time instant messaging, a color coded personality profile
and the ability to search within a fairly small radius of my zip code.
"Relationships" also allowed me the most viewable matches which was nice because I found that other sites have limits. And as a
convenience, they can email you (at your request) when your profile receives a smile and/or email and can send daily matches too. I would
definitely recommend this site to other users, especially those with a more specific search!
Christiancafe.com
Christiancafe.com comes in as second best of the reviewed sites. It's search isn't quite as extensive as "Relationships" (no personality
matching), but it is still pretty thorough. The site highlights which members are new, shows when the last time someone was online (ideal when
looking for someone who is actively using this site) and allows you to list what the nature of your relationship with God (i.e. it defines who I
am, has it's place, etc.).
However, the site can be slow and only allows 300 search results at a time. I also had difficulty when it came to customer
service.
SingleC Singlec.com, Single Christian Network, has been in business since
1991 and boasts over 80,000 profiles. Pages on this site load quickly, inactive profiles are deleted on a regular basis, and they offer an IM
(Instant Message) feature (which can be cumbersome at times). The site itself is not quite as robust as the 2 previous sites reviewed but is
still decent enough.
Singles.org Singles.org, aka Christian Singles Connection, is difficult to
evaluate at this time. I will give you my thoughts but please be aware that ownership of this site has changed so I am not able to recommend
this site until I gather more information.
They claim to have 40,000 profiles but I had a hard time finding many people within a 300 mile radius of me. The bad news is
searching for someone is not as convenient and it has been my experience that a lot of "scammers" use this website. You befriend someone for a
while and before you know it they are asking you for money (google: dating sites scam + Nigeria to get more information). I know this is
prevalent on all the sites but it seemed to be more active on singles.org. I'm not sure if it's their lack of screening or just my bad luck
for during my time there. I need to re-evaluate this site again before I can recommend this site to anyone.
