Acceptance is key. Accept someone for who they are.

Don’t stress over strict boundaries or perfection. You’re both students in the faith—learning, failing, growing. Be authentic, try things together, not alone. Communicate, be emotionally open, and let God guide you both. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Embrace your imperfections—because in your weaknesses, that’s where God moves most. Real love grows through grace, not fear or control. Stay humble and stay real.

No one Should be Taught that Love is how much trash you can Tolerate from Someone. I heard a quote the other day & it said I would rather adjust my life to your absence than adjust my boundaries to your disrespect. Just remember what you tolerate is is what you validate. Don't let that go over your head.

the advice i get from most people from the church concerning dating for new christian’s: don’t 😆 but for real, if you haven’t at least defined your longings and aspirations within the body of Christ, those things can be difficult to sort out after the knot has been tied

Don't get tired of waiting, be patient because the best thing happened to those who learns to wait and trust God above all for in him everything is worth waiting.☺️🙏

I'm going to go with the classic: Take time to fill in your profile. Make it reflect what's different about you. You don't have to answer every question, but you are essentially trying to summarise yourself!

@Lachlan I agree, people who don't fill out their profiles properly puts me off big time. To me it signals laziness, which may come through in how they go about the relationship with the other person.

It’s important to note that new Christians and those who are new to Christian dating are not necessarily the same (they could have been a Christian for years and haven’t dated or done online dating). So the advice differs For new Christians, the priority is to adjust to living with God and putting Him at the centre of your life. You’re building foundations, so give it at least a year before adding a relationship in the mix. Seek out wise older Christians to learn from, mentorship, discipleship.

For those who’ve been Christians a while, but haven’t dated or done online dating - the same applies in prioritising God in your life, as a God-centred relationship requires both people to take God seriously. As far as the dating process, take it seriously whilst also not holding onto it too tightly. Through verses like Psalm 37:4, the Church teaches to look for Mr/Miss perfect, but if someone lives out their faith, remain open - limit dealbreakers to important things, not minor preferences.

The dating environment, even Christian dating, can be a harsh one - people are people. If you don’t get responses or have negative experiences, it isn’t necessarily because you’ve done something wrong or misheard God. Pray and seek God’s peace - if you have a gut feeling something isn’t right, it could be the Holy Spirit giving you a nudge. Always be kind and bless those you chat with/meet, regardless of the outcome.
