Online Dating Helps

From Julie:

Everywhere I turn, people tell me they wish they could find quality Christian dating sites. Below are some tips you might want to consider when looking for a decent site.

 

·         Do they display a statement of faith?

·         Do they have strict usage guidelines?

·         Is there a fee to use the service?

·         Do they have negative reviews on Google?

·         How many users do they currently have?

 

Following is a review of Christian dating sites that seem reputable. When in doubt, always check them out for yourself by doing a Google review search.
