Three things that changed christian singles for me:

That list is where I would start again with christian singles.

Ben1989 is right, and I would add one thing. the part people underrate about christian singles are the conversion from match to conversation. How much to share early on is what separates a good week from a wasted one with christian singles.

The rules I settled on for christian singles:

  • leave a couple of weekends before deciding anything about christian singles
  • budget at least a week before deciding anything about christian singles
  • keep the first message to two or three lines when it comes to christian singles
  • budget ten days before deciding anything about christian singles
