Here are what we believe to be 10 Top Dating tips written by couples who met online so do take note of what they have to say.
1. Be Open… No Matter What
“Be truly open and realistic in the process. You will likely have more bad dates than good, and it is easy to get discouraged. It only takes one though, so don’t let the bad experiences turn you off to the process.”
2. Let it Flow
“Don’t focus on finding a relationship in the beginning, just keep a positive mindset about meeting new people and let the relationship blossom naturally.”
3. Know What You Want
“Because we had both been married before, we knew exactly what characteristics we wanted in a spouse, most importantly someone with a strong Christian faith. We knew pretty quickly that we were God’s match for each other as we felt we had found what we had been praying for.”
4. Be Honest
“Since we had both been married before and had kids from our previous marriage, we spoke openly and honestly. No topic was off limits. We spoke for weeks before meeting face to face. We even used ChristianMingle.com’s Compass Matching Test to cover a number of topics we would have not thought about otherwise!”
5. Use Every Tool Available
“What made ChristianMingle.com successful for us was the way it helped bring us together: through the search tools, the personality test, and the knowledge that the people we would find on there were not just people looking for a long-term relationship, but a relationship that would be built on God’s love.”
6. Think Outside the Box
“I was so picky about people that I didn’t think fit into my “box.” What I learned is that God busts boxes wide open and always gives us better gifts than we imagine for ourselves.”
7. Rethink Your Idea of “Perfect”
“Focus on the essence. There is no perfect man or woman, but there is a man or woman who is perfect for you.”
8. Don’t Overthink It
“I think that as women, sometimes we think too much. We create a picture of someone who we think would be a good match for us, when in reality, no one knows what a good match is until people meet in person.”
9. Learn to Trust
“Never stop praying for the one that God has out there for you. I never thought that I would end up finding my future husband on an online dating site, and sure enough, I did. Joseph felt that he was just throwing away money, and look what happened! Even just a one-month subscription is all it takes sometimes. And, for us, it was trusting in God and much prayer.”
10. Never Give Up
“I went out with over 100 people from JDate while I was on the site from 2004-2007… I was just about to give up, but then I Instant Messaged my future husband. He was up early on a Saturday as he had just recently signed up for JDate. He Instant Messaged me back and we talked on the phone for the next week. Having gone on over a hundred dates, I truly appreciate having found my perfect other half. He completes my sentences and shares my dreams.”
