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.
