Do not just settle for anything that comes your way. Go on dates, talk to people, stick to what you are looking for, and remember despite being in what feels like a wilderness season, God is with you every step of the way and will guide your steps and bring you your person if you let him lead and stop doing things your way instead of His.
Hello everyone, nice to meet you!
"Strange" is a proper description 😆 Some of us are socially awkward 😳 to the opposite gender.
One thing that some men don't understand about Christian women is we are just waiting for men to shoot their shot. 😁 I mean, the "Ruth's" are already on the field. They're here "on the field" and they're waiting for "Boaz" to shoot his shot. Also if a man can't afford to pay here, what else can he afford to not pursue? ☺️
A date is an event, not a commitment.
Whilst this is true, as Christians we should date with intention - an intent to get to know the person and consider whether a relationship may form. Of course it can and should be fun/lighthearted, but it is not “dating for fun” as the world does - which is an important difference for new Christians to be aware of. We should honour/value/respect/bless those we meet, as they’ve given up their time and perhaps travelled a fair distance - the least we can do is take it seriously and prayerfully.
@Jessica and an consistent event of dates can lead to real commitment 💕
Well said @Jessica
I read some comment in here yesterday and must admit they were very discouraging.

Hello everyone😊
Aloha! Bendiciones Dios es bueno!
I just joined today. Is it advisable to pay? I thought it is free app??
@Gladiorus J hi i have yet to chat to one person and have been on the free version for over a month. I have had no notifications and the likes are blurred whicb means i cant respond. If you want more interaction and communication my guess is you need to pay

"Life teaches us that we can’t always control what happens, but we can choose who guides our hearts. For me, peace begins when I remember that God still writes beautiful stories, even in difficult chapters.”
🇧🇷 Boa noite good evening
Hola bendiciones, saludos ✨🫂
Dont get discouraged if dating app does not work for you. Its 100% normal. All thr christian married couples, i know, they met through real life church events. Even some moved to a bigger town with a bigger baptist church to increase their chances and it worked 😄
I am here because have faith it will work for me
Hola!
A 50-60% ghost/fizzle rate is standard for conversations on any dating app. This app is no exception. Just keep moving.
@Jessica I have noticed something similar. Still, I have made some good connections here over time.
Don't let it become the main event
Prayer to God for His will to inspire your decisions
Holaaa!

Good afternoon everyone?. Psalms 25:4-5 Show me your ways O Lord, teach me your paths; Guide me in your truth and teach, For you are God my saviour and my hope is in you all day long. That's my favourite verse just thought it will be best to share it here.
@Sophia pure wisdom. Let's connect, our daughters might be friends or even sisters some day
@Isabel - Team SALT greetings.
Olá! Alguém de Barueri-SP?
Soy nuevo en esto 😪 alguien del estado de mexico o alrededores?
Smile more ...even at strangers or people of a different demographic who don't look like you Limit online scrolling and swiping... replace with IRL dating events and personal introductions Go out and enjoy life more - explore your local park, museums, bookstores, music stores, free events, concerts, plays... At church be friendly, serve, stay behind for coffee etc Visit other churches once in a while Go on holiday or a day trip Refresh your wardrobe Make new friends Spend time with family 😊
I'm not speak English

Wise words
God will surely bless us all only we trust him wholeheartedly and the right person will come at a right time that God knows it's when. I was thinking that we can use this platform to search for people to love us but we have God who does everything in our lives so what we really need is to trust him that he will surely provide good people for each of us. There is no need to rush and run because God have it all.
Hey everyone, is there anyone here who lives in Christchurch, NZ?
I've been ghosted for 2 days and he seen all my chats without any reasons. We've been good to each other. But I already release blessing for him. God knows I didn't do anything bad gor him. It's just that I was too shocked for what he has done to me. Still, No contact for how many days. So ai let go and et God do the rest. I hurts but I need to. 😢
Please be wiseful in searching or knowing someone he they are really sure about you. And pray for God's affirmation and confirmation if that person was sent by God or just a distraction.
@Karen thanks for sharing. It is well
Stay Vigilant and dont given in to scammers or fraudulent actions.
@Brenda Given that there are selife verifications here, how much are the possibilities of being scammed?
single and searching
Dios les bendiga y les guarde
As a Christian, I’d say: let faith guide your heart, but don’t ignore wisdom. A genuine connection should reflect respect, peace, honesty, and consistency—not just words. 🙏🏽❤️
Good morning 🥰
Good night everyone. Blessings, brothers and sisters. I'm looking for a nice gathering to share more of God's word. 🙏🏽
Limit expectations when having a conversation, and have an opened heart and mind. Do not be limited by your denominations.
This world is a bit out there. It doesnt seem to represent the fairh majorities in Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Protestantism so im finding if hard to esnt to form a mesnkngfuk connection
Firstly get a friend, then share hearts. Pray for each other and ask God to lead
it's a good time
I woukd first need to be FOUND by a Christian woman to begin this lifelong social experiment haha
@Zeb loving that wicked sense of humor 🤗
Every character and behavior can be faked or staged. But a genuine love God and His kingdom cannot be successful staged. Used The Love for God as your guide. It never fails
Wise words with naked truth
Amen 🙏
Ich brauche auch Hilfe
I need some advice as revently saved. Obviously old dating practices no longer apply! Help!
Welcome dude! Firstly, get on an Alpha course or similar (“Practicing The Way” - vids on Youtube) to grow deeper in faith. Find fellowship with other Christian men and also a mentor who you trust. Build a firm foundation and learn to hear from God without romantic feelings muddying the waters. As for Christian dating, it is supposed to be different to the world, but can be very harsh. Take things slowly and prayerfully, pay close attention to a woman’s character and how she lives our faith.
@Andy get filled with the Holy Spirit, if you haven't already. A good foundation.
Welcome Dating as a Christian is definitely different from worldly dating and if you need advice about faith in general it is always important to surround yourself with people with like minded, people who will help you on this new journey and grow your faith

Hola

Pray a lot! Don’t let the feeling of desiring a partner or loneliness get in the way of learning about God, his character and his plan for your life. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33 NKJV Ask God to reveal character and intention because God wants the best for us. Love pushes us towards God, not away from him. If you’ve read this far, God bless you ❤️
True salvation will never give you something that is incomplete
God bless you all everyone
Nobody can be valid to pass relationship judgement or opinions. Each to there journey no short cuts. Don't be passive get productive
Olaa
Hi, how are you all doing?
Hola
Hola
I think the biggest problem is getting to a place where you are completely content and settled that if you don’t find someone or not you will be ok. Your best friend and one that completes you as Colossians 2:10 says is Jesus alone. From a place of completeness in Jesus. Most relationship end bad because you move out of brokeness you make bad decision and go further then you should because you are moved by emotions instead of by the Holy Spirit.
This 💯 spot on 👌🏽
And truth
Now this is wisdom!
Actually, i have one short dating tip: Take care of your profile. While your character should and will be the most important thing in a relationship (secondmost next to godlyness for you all) it can only be visible through an expressive profile. As much as we will all pretend that one value (family, godlyness, kindess etc) is enough, as humans we need more from a connection than one thing in common. Especially when you already joined a space that has one main thing you are looking for.
As far as i can see, you are all good christians of many denominantions, so that is a given and should not be explicitly highlighted. But please tell me if you disagree, i am very intent on really getting to know this space.
@Mo it should definitely be explicitly highlighted because unfortunately there are some people on this app who aren't really believers.
Unfortunately, whilst this is a Christian app, faith commitment and basic standards of behaviour/decency (including kindness and integrity) cannot be assumed. It’s important to establish where someone is at with God and how they live out their faith - a profile only gives a quick snapshot, but is an essential starting point.
@Mo hi
Hello everyone, i can‘t speak for the christian experience but universally i can say that nowadays we are flooded with beautiful people outside of our reach. And happiness comes from choosing someone and loving them, there is noone out there that is perfect for us, since we are also not perfect.
@Mo also, 500 characters is woefully inadequate at giving any kind of nuanced tip. 😅
Find God, Find yourself, then Find your partner. Don't put God on hold when you're dating. If they don't help you spiritually, they're a distraction, not a blessing.
A godly relationship should encourage your walk with Christ, not cause you to become spiritually lazy or lukewarm. True partners help you grow, while distractions drain your soul & cause you to settle. Ultimately, the right person will encourage you to draw closer to God, not further away. A real relationship from God won't distract you from God!
We should always follow God's path, but it's not easy. I believe that finding a loved one is, first and foremost, about shared Christian and life values. But this must be coupled with something we see in the other person: personal charm, or the potential for a future together in our eyes. Then everything falls into place, a decision is made based on faith, and we can walk together through life with God and trust in our loved one, creating a family.
Amen
I searching a girlfriend
@Veselin I hope, that you search for your future wife. Correct?
I would just say be careful. Don’t think that because you are a christian now that you won’t struggle with temptation or being lead by your feelings.. bring everything to the Lord in surrender asking him to lead you and he will!
@Jessica I agree 100% and we tend to forget this and want to do things our way and not his.
@Steven yes it is such a human temptation to want to go our way and trust our own understanding.. but thank God he made clear that we can’t trust our own understanding! We must acknowledge him and seek his will in all of our ways and he will show us which way to go. Proverbs 3:5-6
@Jessica it is crazy to me that is the Scripture you quoted. In my Bible plan I am currently in Proverbs, Romans, and Psalms. If you are up for it, send me an intro or heart and let’s chat more off of this :)
My advice is to test every spirit if its from God or not !! Cause there is plenty of people who claims to be christians but they are not!!
So true.. often people genuinely believing they are saved but they arent yet.. I used to be that way for years before God saved me.
My advice is to intention court not date like the world and have day outings out only.
@Marissa tienes razon , pero antes de una cita, deben conocerse mejor
Always remember that God has something prepared for you, but it is also said in Isaiah 60:22 "at the right time He will make it happen, and remember Adam at the garden of Eden, when God created man from dust He moulded him like a masterpiece. When God notices something And the LORD God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” Pray for it; Psalms 37:4 says “Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart”
Psalm 37:4 is such a blessing in this process and it is interesting how much we change and our desires change when we are delighting ourselves in him!
Me encantaría encontrar ese amor verdadero enviado por Dios pero seguiré esperando con fe en que el señor tiene alguien especial para mi
I’m 22 years old I have a intellectual development disability I’m a podcaster a author I have a full time job I’m a young life leader I still live with my parents I’m 6 months fresh after getting cheated on and I have a desire to be a husband and father please pray god will use me and he will help me grow
Will pray for your healing and for the Lord to use you brother!
I would also add, take your time. Bring your wound from the past betrayal and let God heal that. Let him work in you and don't feel a need to rush.
Coloque Deus no centro de tudo. Quando duas pessoas caminham juntas buscando a Deus, o relacionamento se fortalece naturalmente. Não é só sobre gostar um do outro, mas crescer juntos na fé.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs” (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). Building relationships grounded in God’s love helps guide Christian dating with wisdom and integrity.
You are very beautiful
Seek first the kingdom of God and every other will be added unto you, the phrase “ every other “ means what is rightful and beneficial to every citizen of the kingdom of God, for ye shall obtain knowledge and wisdom to approach every decision. Be bless
Seek the kingdom first then search for your soulmate
Saludos a todas las damas de este lugar
Hi, I would say build your relationship first with God. Seek Him first, be rooted in your faith, feed your faith, make the word of God your priority and while doing all this you will realise that finally your are ready to be equally yoked with someone for life.
My advice: build your identity in Jesus and not in lack. The best way to know how to build health boundaries and be clear on the first dates is to know your NOs and Yes’s. Which mean, SELF-Awareness. Not all Christians have a relationship with God so be aware of that :)
Clarity of the direction of the relationship matters so that you dont play guessing all the time.
@Constance well said Constance By the way you are cute and pretty
Just a piece of advice to men here, Please if you really wanted a your girl not left behind or starting thinking out of her ego then then show her what she wanted.. DON'T GHOST HER! She's praying for her whole life. We are Christians and speak for truth 🙃
This applies both ways - we should, especially as Christians, behave and treat others with integrity and kindness.
Hey pretty Karen
I think what you said here is true, and people should also be honest with themselves on why they are dating. There should be a purpose to everything...
I go by “if it’s not mutual, then it’s not meant to be” and that God has your future partner/plans laid out for you
Speak life into your life, speak blessings over yourself, pray for your future covenant partner you bless yourself by doing so. Pray, read the bible, have faith and trust God to guard your perspective. ❤️🔥✌🏼
Not everyone here is a Christian like you 😉 Take what everyone puts on their profile as what they aspire to be like. Don’t chase someone if you feel things are consistently one-sided. Let people see that you have friends (if you do lol), 7 mirror selfies? Well..👀 Ladies, the men are often better looking in person compared to their images🤭 Expect app dating to be tiresome. But always remain hopeful & trust God. Take a break if it becomes obsessive or discouraging.
Hello Liz would like to get to know you more
Bittwr truth Book can not be judge by its cover alone
@Liz Great points 😀 But one thing I’d say: I agree about letting ppl see from your pictures that you have friends. But one reason I don’t post pics of others is that I just don’t like to put people’s images out there. Maybe it’s because I work in social services, lol, but point being you never know why someone posts lots of selfies. 😀
@Liz You are right not everyone here is a Christian
Hiii 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
See the actions of the other person and not just what they say they are.
No need to rush
Stallone once said in a podcast with his daughters that someone can seem perfect — but you do not see what they are really like until you get into a serious argument with them.
Beware those who talk spiritually. It might be performative, for show, for validation. Look instead for someone like Paul who acted on the basis of what was important even though he was alone and had opposition. He did not do what he did because he had to be pushed, but did it thought he was pushed against. Look for someone who, when they have every justification to do the wrong thing, and no benefit for doing what is right--does what is right.
If you’re new to faith, prioritise your relationship with God. It’s important to find your identity and contentment in Christ, before even considering a relationship. Build same-gender friendships with mature Christians, spend time in the Bible, learn how to pray, serve and “be” in Christian community. Depending on your lifestyle pre-faith, there will be friction points/things to work through. Knowing how to live as a Christian will help you identify a suitable partner when the time is right.
We’re all on a journey and none of us have it all figured out, but seeking a romantic relationship when faith is all so new, isn’t giving your faith time to blossom. Take the time, which will benefit you, and your future partner will thank you for it.
get your doctrine aligned with the bible first or youre just setting up a disaster for the one interested in you.
All I can say from a specific past experience is do NOT rush into anything or be tempted to do so, and always pray about it.
@Dave ok 👌
Hey beautiful You hacw nicw color
Great advice
Can you clarify, do you mean new Christians, or Christians new to dating? Title and paragraph seem to refer to two different subjects.
Christian new to dating
