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.
