Finding That Special Person

Searching for someone you want to spend time with that is outside your usual social circle of friends, your church, or work is never easy at the best of times. So it's easy to see why more and more young Australian Christian singles are exploring online dating sites as a way to find that special person.

Why Choose Online Christian Dating Apps

There are a host of reasons for using online Christian dating sites such as Veemance.com, one of which is that they offer users a fantastic opportunity to put their best foot forward and explore the world of dating in a safe, secure environment that is full of like-minded people that all have the same beliefs and who are looking for similar things in life.

Matching Your Personality

Another reason many young Australian Christians use dating Apps is that they allow them to mingle with people with similar personalities, religions, and preferences. As a result, many believe that this helps narrow down the options and gives them a better chance of finding the right person and for the relationship to succeed.

Lets Your Intentions Be Known

For many young Christians, marriage is the ultimate goal, and so dating Apps not only allow them to find true love and the opportunity to share their life with the perfect partner. It also allows them to clarify their intentions at the start of the relationship, so reducing the chances of either one being misled or disappointed. 

Being Cautious When Using A Dating App

With over 3 million people here in Australia using online dating services, it stands to reason that, unfortunately, not everyone who uses an online dating site or App has the same moral compass.

As a result, there are some evil people out there who hide behind their keyboard profiles and are looking to take advantage of those who are shy or introverted.

With this in mind, it is essential that you don't let yourself be misled and so be cautious about protecting your personal information.

This goes for your profile, when you're chatting online, and when you are on an actual date.

Hold off revealing too much about yourself, like your full name, home address, or workplace, until you feel comfortable and at ease with your date. 

Also, remember it pays to do your research and fact-check your potential matches. Multiple sources suggest that over 50% of people exaggerate their online dating profile, so Google them or look for their social media accounts (check that they have the same photos as their dating profile).

Before setting up a phone/video call or meeting them in person, make sure you trust the person and not just the profile.

Don't Let The Dating App Take Over Your Life

While dating Apps have become an increasingly accessible way to date and find love in the modern world, they can become addictive if not managed correctly, so much so that some experts have gone so far as to say that Apps can have a 'severe' impact on mental health, with over 70% of singletons feeling anxious or depressed after using them.

As a result, it is vital that you monitor how much time you spend on a dating apps when you use them and be mindful of how many people you're speaking to at any one time.

Don't let the dating App take over your life.

Whatever You Decide, Stay True To Yourself

Whether you use a dating app or an online Christian dating service to find your perfect Christian partner is very much a matter of personal choice. As a result, you should never feel pressured into using one if you don't feel comfortable doing so.

But whatever you decide, it's important you stay true to yourself and your beliefs. 

Remember always to be the best person you can be and treat others with the love and respect you expect others to show you, and even though it might take time to find true love, be in no doubt that God will still be working and helping you in the background to find that special one.

FAQS

Am I guaranteed to find my perfect Christian partner using a Christian dating App?

Unfortunately not, no dating app can ever guarantee that you will meet your perfect Christian partner; if they do, it's probably wise to steer clear of them.

However, using a dating App or online dating service such as Veemance will improve your chances of meeting compatible single Christians here in Australia compared to the more traditional ways, such as via your godly friends, church, or work.

Are all online Christian dating Apps free of charge?

Although many Christian dating apps are free to use, and opening an account is almost effortless, their features are limited unless you upgrade to a paid subscription which can be expensive.

However, that is not the case with Veemance; here, you can register to meet other Christians and view their dating profiles free of charge.

How can I be sure that the profile somebody posts on Christian dating websites is genuine?

Unfortunately, there are plenty of horrid people out there that try to exploit the charity and kindness of our Christian faith. So while most dating Apps try to guard against this, it is impossible to keep these types of people at bay all the time.

Therefore, to help reduce the chances of this happening, one must be cautious before revealing yourself to strangers in the outside world, so always use a highly respected and recognised Christian dating service like Veemance.
