It's often hard to find someone in your local parish or
church to spend the rest of your life with. Especially for young people,
who have a very hard time finding someone of their age group in the local
church or synagogue. Road trips and chaperoned revivals are a good way to
meet people who are interested in the same religion you are, but more and
more people are turning to the internet for help in finding the love of
their lives.
One answer to this dilemma is to join a singles group via the internet
based on your religious upbringing, an online dating service geared toward
the religious background of its users.
Christian online dating became popular in the mid eighties, when online
dating web sites first hit cyberspace. Christian online dating services
promised the users that they would find like-minded people and all their
dreams would come true. For some people I'm sure this happened, but you
can never be sure who you are talking to online. This is true of course
for any online chat room, whether it be Jewish online dating or the newer
catholic online dating services for young people.
The bottom line for dating online is simple for people of religion. To
feel safe and be sure that the person you've met online is righteous, plan
your first date to meet at church. It's the smart thing to do, with cyber
stalking and misrepresentation running amok on the internet. Plan your
first few dates to be at church, especially if you've met someone online
who wants to come meet you from another city or state. A nice church
potluck after service is a great, safe way to tell if this person is truly
the person of your dreams.
The internet is a fine way to meet people, if a few precautions are taken.
Meet the person after several chats, not just one or two, and meet them in
a public place. Stay in a group of people the first few times, and let
them know up front why. Honesty in relationships is important and if they
are sincere, they will understand your need for caution.
