Top 5 Red Flags on Christian Dating Sites

If you are trying to decide on someone that you’d like to talk to more who you have seen on a Christian dating site, there may be things about this person that you aren’t going to like. The problem with dating sites and especially with Christian dating sites is that you never know when someone is simply writing down things that they think other people are going to like, or when they are writing things down that are true. This means that you could be falling for someone because of who you think they are, not because of who they really are. It is hard to date people after you have seen their profiles on an online dating site, because you are never really sure what to make of them and what they have posted about themselves. They might be telling you the truth, and they might be lying about it. You never really can tell who is being honest and who is writing things that they think others might want to hear.

Luckily, there are some behaviors that you can red flag right away. These are things that you can take in account as probably being behaviors that can cancel out any attraction that you might have for a person. There are certain things that they might do which will let you know they aren’t people you want to be dating.

The first is if they have negative things to say about God or Christianity or Christians themselves. Even if they are on a Christian dating site, they might say something in passing that is negative about a faith that you hold strongly. If they are saying things that offend you regarding Christianity, you should red flag them because they are probably not someone you want to go on a date with.

The second would be lying of any sort. If you catch someone in a lie on their profile, you can red flag them right away. This might be something as simple as saying they are from a town that doesn’t exist, or saying that they go to a church that doesn’t really exist. It might be that they say they graduated in a certain year, and then later they say a different year. Any time that anyone is being untruthful, this can be a red flag for sure when it comes to online dating.

The third would be if they say or write something that makes you uncomfortable. This can be anything ranging from an off color joke that you don’t appreciate, to racist remarks or remarks about a gender that might be offensive to you. If a person writes something that bothers you in any way, this is a sure sign that they are not someone you want to be dating, so skip that profile and go on to something else.

The fourth would be that you should be careful of the profiles that contain statements about how a person has come around and changed their behavior in their lives. Now, this might be true in many situations, because many times people do turn their lives around and come back to Christianity and this might be the case for someone on the dating site. But, you should be wary if they mention these things in their profile, because it might be that they are trying to lure in true believers in order to get a date with someone they perceive as a nice person. While they might indeed have changed their ways and come around to their faith, just be careful when you are talking to them, and make sure that they are really serious about it.

The fifth behavior that you should red flag when it comes to Christian dating sites is if someone claims to be using this site just to meet people. There are many online dating sites that one can join, but if they are joining a Christian dating site, they should be doing so because the most important things in their life involve their Christianity. If you find someone who says they are only on the site to meet people it is going to mean that they are probably not someone you want to be dating.
