ChristianMingle.com is one of the most established online dating sites for Christian in the world, being in operation since 1996. The fact that it’s still around today is proof of how good it is! When I joined it I had absolutely no hesitation about it because of its excellent track record and morallu uplifting appeal. The focus among members of the site is much more focused on who people are and what they believe, and not just based on physical appearance.

Christian Mingle exists for us good Christian girls find a special someone of our faith without special consideration for denomination, offering a wide range of features like chat rooms, message boards, photo personals, a photo gallery, and anonymous private mailboxes. It was super easy to use and very different from the degrading nature of other online dating websites. I found nothing obscene or offensive, and the other members are very polite and respectful to one another!

I highly recommend this site to Christian singles, no matter what specific religious denomination you belong to. It’s a safe place to meet others that share your religious views!

Christian Mingle Review – What I Liked

Christian Mingle Review – Click Here To Join

The community was created specifically for Christian singles in search of a new friendship, a romantic relationship, or even marriage among people with strong faith. Upon registration, user still fill out all the common, basic profile information such as physical body type, your height, your education level, your ethnicity, your profession, and whether your are unmarried, divorced, or widowed.

The profile questions include elements of religion, answering what church they were born into, how actively you attend religious services, and what specific denomination you belong to currently.

One feature that really set Christian Mingle apart for me, is the very large and dynamic social community the site has built. The message boards are always buzzing with discussion about anything and everything from dates to health and fitness, from current events to dining and devotionals. The sector of the site dedicated to Christian adoration is the Worship Center, where the members can request prayers, read an online Bible, participate in scholarly Bible discussions, and more.

There are several profile features which are totally unique to Christian Mingle such as the Readiness IQ report, the Color Code Personality Profile, and the COMPASS matching test.

Christian Mingle Review – What I Didn’t Like

Unlike many of its competitors, Christian Mingle does not have a mobile application, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t mobile-friendly. A mobile version of the site can be accessed from any smartphone browser, providing a version of the site that’s optimized for mobile use. Users on-the-go can search profiles, view photos, view matches, check their inboxes, read messages, and send smiles.

The Color Code Personality Profile provides an evaluation of your personality type and calls attention to some of your subconscious behaviors in relationships, which can be helpful in minding that perfect Christian Match. This was ‘fun’ but didn’t seem really ‘practical’ to me.

Christian Mingle Review – Final Thoughts

Christian Mingle Review – Click Here To Join

A free version of Christian Mingle is indeed available, but it has a several limits and restrictions that prevent members from enjoying the best aspects of the site. Although the free members can create profiles and search profiles of other members, no communication is allowed.

Paid members of Christian Mingle are allowed to send and read emails, converse through instant messenger, post on the message board forums, and take advantage of the online live chat. The paid subscription is inexpensive compared to most other religious dating sites, which probably explains the huge number of active members. The paid subscription offers a much fuller experience than the free option, which is really just to ‘observe’ without really participating.

LDS Romances is the best LDS singles dating site I have participated in so far. I tried many different LDS dating sites and chats before, but this one was the winner. On this site I’ve reviewed all of the sites I tried but the one I would always choose first and foremost is LDS Romances.

LDS Romances Review – Why I Was Hesitant

LDS Romances Review – Click Here To Join

I always thought that this kind of site was something for those who just couldn’t get a date on their own and I viewed this entire genre very negatively. But it isn’t so much about trying to land a date! Since there are so many single adults in the church that live in remote areas where there are few or even no other LDS singles, these sites are more about LDS friendships among singles. When we have a great site that brings people closer without the pressure of trying to get married, we find out how helpful it can be for many LDS single adults.

LDS Romances Review – What My Friends Thought

One reason why I like LDS Romances the most is because I met so many interesting people. There are ways that you can even find out if they match with you or not by simply viewing their features and seen what they are looking for in a woman. The more people there are to contact, the greater will be the possibilities to find someone special that may be waiting for someone like myself. LDS Romances had the best pool of members compared to the other sites I visited. At first when I started to use the site I was impressed by how many people use it. I also enjoyed that there are other useful things in the site like the forum and the lds news, among others. I love forums especially, being able to communicate with others that have the same interests as you.

I have told some of my friends to participate in it because I have found LDS Romances really fun! I really liked the ability to browse profiles and the interface of LDS Romances better than the other LDS singles sites I tried. I can just go make a quick evaluation to see what interests me the most in that person, looking for common interests to see if it would be worth starting a friendly conversation. I mean, I care about how many things we have in common that I find important and what he is also looking for in someone as well.

LDS Romances Review – My Recommendation

Ok, so everyone thinks that the asking out is the hard part. Yeah, it can be scary and rejection is tough, but what happens after the girl you’ve been eyeing across the living room during your YSA FHE says “yes” when you finally build up the courage to ask her out. What now? You need a game plan, but you don’t want to do the standard LDS date of a movie (preferably of a G rating), punch and cookies, and then the super spiritual discussion that always seems to follow. You just want her to have fun, and you don’t want to be lame. LDS dating can be tough, especially when you get into the same old dating routine. So here are some unique ideas for that special date you would rather not bore to death.

LDS Fortune Cookies – Ok, I know what your thinking, and it’s a lot simpler than you may think without having to figure out a way to get a bunch fortune cookies from a Chinese restaurant, get the tiny slip of paper out of the cookie without breaking it, and then slipping another of your own back inside, without breaking it again. Just make your own. There are simple recipes that you can find on the internet that will explain exactly how to make your very own fortune cookies, and then you can create your own LDS fortunes to put inside. Some LDS fortunes, for example, could be: “You can only change yourself, so start with your attitude”, “Be an example by choosing the right, even when you are alone”, or “Gratitude is the first step towards future blessings”.

Flea Market – Go to a flea market and find cheap, random items that are interesting and make up stories about the imaginary previous owner. Whoever can come up with the best story has to buy the other ice cream. Or you can learn how to haggle prices at a flea market, so not only will your date be entertained, she will learn a skill too, and you can’t have too many of those…like, the old LDS saying, “don’t bury your talents”, here’s your time to shine!

Finger Painting Pictionary – It’s not just for kids. Go to a craft store, buy some finger paints and a huge piece of butcher paper for your canvas, and write a large number of LDS things on strips of paper to play from. I think you know where I’m going with this, instead of drawing with a pencil, pen or marker, use your fingers and paint! It’s fun and messy and also a good opportunity to flirt with paint.

Dessert Contest – If there is one thing to be said about LDS culture, if there is food, people will show up. Same goes for LDS dating…you can never go wrong with a date that involves food. So for a group date, have a dessert making contest. Make and then sample all of the desserts and see which couple is compatible enough to make an award winning dessert.

Hopefully, one of these LDS dating ideas will inspire your date to be smitten with you because of your creativity and thoughtfulness. She won’t know what hit her when you bust out finger paints instead of a well worn DVD of the “Single’s Ward”. Good luck!

Unique LDS Dating Ideas is a post from: LDS Dating Review

Latter-day Saints (including singles) are encouraged to spend Monday nights together in activities known as “Family Home Evening” or “Family Night” which is to be a night of spiritual instruction, fun, and family bonding.  The kids in the family are often given important roles, such as conducting the meeting which is begun and closed with prayer.  Parents take advantage of this opportunity to prepare their children for the social pressure they will face as teenagers and young adults to enter the world without the oversight of the parents. Singles are encouraged to have such nights as well among themselves, which is an opportunity once again for Latter-day Saint singles to meet, form friendships, and start to date.

LDS church activities that are targeted to Latter-day Saint singles are often planned with the intention of interaction among young people that could possibly result in dates among the members.  Church leaders preach the benefits of dating other members since they hold the same LDS beliefs and standards of behavior.  Since premarital sexual activity is preached as sinful, these friendships and dating relationships are considered much ‘safer’ spiritually.

Often when a member expresses the desire to date somebody who is not a Latter-day Saint single, he or she is encouraged to bring the nonmember to church social gatherings to be used as a low-pressure environment to introduce the nonmember to Mormon culture and beliefs gently.  These nonmembers see young church members having fun and gradually becomes acquainted with the more of the church’s doctrine and standards.

Latter-day Saint singles at this junction usually invite the full-time missionaries assigned to their region to visit the nonmember and teach a series of lessons which introduce the complete foundation of the Mormon faith.  Should the ‘investigator’ become willing to accept the church’s beliefs and lifestyle, these people are usually baptized into the church as a ‘convert’ and are accepted into membership, allowing the Latter-day Saint single to now date a member of the opposite sex that shares the same beliefs and standards.

Latter-day Saint singles who choose to date a non-LDS person who rejects the church’s beliefs, generally suffers socially as this creates an uncomfortable environment and are often shunned.  The lack of social support for a relationship is usually enough to discourage dating of a nonmember.   Latter-day Saint singles who become engaged and choose to marry a nonmember often causes cultural and social pressure to keep trying to convert the nonmember spouse.

I know what it’s like trying to plan a fun LDS date.  Let’s be honest, it requires a little more creativity than non-religious folks who are content to go hang out at the bars buying alcoholic beverages for one another.  Here’s a list of the three very fun dates I have been on with other members of the church.

An afternoon at the zoo – Although some may consider it childish, a visit to the zoo is a great environment for a lot of reasons. It’s not too noisy so it’s a great place to talk (unlike a movie theater), however, there is a ‘show’ to watch for when conversation dies down a bit. Watching the animals can often help generate conversation since animals often do strange and funny things. You can get a snack, sit together in the shade, scare your date in the reptile den, etc. It’s a good one, if you’ve never done it, go for it because I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. 

Play paintball – If you do this one, make sure you’re on the same team as your date and go in groups.  Never make the stupid mistake of playing against your date and blasting him or her up with paint (it hurts). If you play as a couple, it unites the two of you to a common purpose, something to work together on. You cover each other’s back and ambush other players or couples. Many guys will think that girls stink at this kind of game, but they will actually be pleasantly surprised at how well many young women can play paintball. Oh, and guys, your girl will appreciate you protecting her only as long as you don’t make her feel inferior by doing it!

Small Town Tourism – Sometimes people feel like they have to ‘go big’ to impress on a date. The truth is that people are (or should be) more interested in the person they are with than what they are doing together. Planning a trip to someplace close to see something that isn’t nationally acclaimed but considered interesting by locals can actually be very fun.  You might feel like you have to be creative to pull this one off but not really. Nowadays you can simply do some Google searching to dig up two or three places of local interest to visit. It can be a tiny museum, a statue or a monument, abandoned historic buildings, or if you’re feeling courageous, a haunted building! While you are there you can talk to the people that live close who understand the point of interest. They might be able to tell you more about it, which can make for great conversation. It gives you a great story you can tell friends and family about later, how you went and visited this little-known tourist attraction which was really fun. This kind of date was one of the most fun I have ever been on!

Three Ideas For Mormon Dating is a post from: LDS Dating Review

Most teenagers in the world have begun some kind of dating practice by age 13 or even earlier. Many parents are willing to trust young adolescents to pair off, which naturally leads to greater intimacy among teens. Young people raised in LDS culture are encouraged to hold off on dating until age 16, and even then are encouraged to maintain the relationship in ‘group’ dates, avoiding exclusive or steady relationships until the young man returns from serving a full-time mission. The young women are encouraged to hold off on exclusive dating relationships at least until after they graduate from high school.

Regardless of what stage of LDS dating takes place, the members are taught to keep the relationship free from physical intimacy until after marriage. Members are taught to remain virgins until they get married, and sexual purity is a requirement to be married in LDS temples where the couple will make binding marital covenants not only mortality on earth but also after death and into eternity. Chastity is considered spiritually essential so young couples are urged to postpone all physical relations until they are legally married.

The LDS church is publicly in favor of the institution of marriage, and has gone as far as to encourage its members to fight for it politically to maintain traditional marriage as currently constituted. Members believe that marriage is required to reach the highest levels of celestial glory after death. They also believe that their families will remain intact beyond death and continue throughout all eternity. LDS church members take dating relationships very seriously and do not usually maintain dating relationships for very long before deciding about marriage.

A big difference between LDS young people and most people nowadays is that they are taught that the sin of adultery extends far beyond marital betrayals. The ‘law of chastity’ also extends to fornication, which is physical intercourse prior to marriage, and also a serious sin. Dating activities which tend to lead to such fornication, such as passionate necking and ‘petting’, are also sinful.

LDS dating strives to maintain the focus on ‘having fun’ without physical relations during social activities. Church leaders have stated that courtship is important serves to allow people to meet and interact with members of the opposite sex with the purpose of finding a suitable partner with whom to share this life and the life after death. The search for an ‘eternal companion’ is the driving force behind LDS dating, one which can lead to powerful emotions deeply rooted in religious beliefs.
