Christian Dating Sites to Avoid

Thumbs Down!

Note: As of 5/10/2007, I am no longer updating this page. The Christian Dating Watchdog is doing a much better job than I was here, so I'm recommending you go to his site for the latest information regarding Christian dating sites to stay away from.


Christian dating sites are everywhere these days. Some are legitimate, and many are not. In my single days (I'm now married thanks to one of the recommended sites), I checked out a lot of these web sites, and learned a lot about the Christian singles / Christian dating industry. First of all, many of the sites advertised as "Christian" are in fact not. More secular companies are putting up "Christian" dating sites every day. It's difficult to keep up with them!

Note certain words on this page might appear strange due to our efforts to prevent this page from being penalized for mentioning s e x u a l l y oriented sites.

Recently Added:

eHarmony.com - After recommending them for several years, I no longer recommend eHarmony due to some recent discoveries about Neil Clark Warren and eHarmony that quite serious.

Christian Mingle (www.christianmingle) - This site is owned by Spark Networks which owns a number of non-Christian dating sites, including AmericanSingles.com which has g a y and l e s b i a n profiles listed on it.

Christian Lifestyle (christianlifestyle.com) - Owned by First Beat Media (firstbeatmedia.com), as secular company which also operates dotMate (dotmate.com), a site which has many g a y and l e s b i a n profiles.

ChristianHearts.com (domain is christiansinglesnet.net) - Owned by Church USA, a site which had an ad for a "g a y Christian dating" site (rainbowchristians.com) on the homepage when I checked it out.

ChristianKisses (christiankisses.com) - Owned by a secular company that sells dating website software.

ChristianLoveNetwork.com (christianlovenetwork.com) - Another secular company trying to get in on the Christian dating market.

Christian Cupid (christiancupid.com) - Owned by a secular company which also operates a site site for g a y men and one for l e s b i a n s.

Executive Christian Dating (executivechristiandating.com) - Appears to a secular-owned site. Do you really want to pay big money to have non-Christians advise you on one of the most important decisions in your life?

Integrity Christian Singles Nework (integritychristiansinglesnetwork.com) - It appears to be a Christian website, but if you click on the "dating directory" link at the bottom of the page, you'll find links to g a y dating services, astrology sites, deviant s e x u a l fetish sites and other sites inappropriate for a Christian singles site.

Together Christian (togetherchristian.com) - A secular site disguised as a Christian dating site. Check out loveaccess.com (a non-Christian site) and you'll see find the same profiles. They also operate MatchRanger.com which includes g a y and l e s b i a n profiles, Kajama.com, an astrology/psychic site and a bunch of other secular sites which all look the same except for the domain name.

ChristianDatingForFree.com - There is nothing on the site to indicate that is it Christian-owned. It says it is owned by "E Dating for Free, Inc." a company which cannot be found anywhere on the Web.


More sites to avoid:

Adam & Eve Singles (adamandevesingles.com) - A secular site disquising itself as Christian. Uses questionable methods of advertising*.

BigChurch (www.bigchurch.com) - This web site is owned by one of the largest p o r n o g r a p h e r s on the Internet (Friendfinder Network, owner of A d u l t Friendfinder, a site where people find partners for s e x.) P o r n o g r a p h y is destroying men in this country, even Christian men. Please do not do business with this company.

Christian Faces (christianfaces.com) - They give no information about themselves on their website, but it appears not to be Christian owned or operated. Uses questionable methods of advertising*.

Christian Matchmaker (christian.matchmaker.com) - This site is owned by Date.com, which also runs a g a y personals site (g a y.date.com).

Christian Mingle (www.christianmingle.com) - As of May, 2005, this site was sold to a secular company (minglematch/Spark Networks) which operates a number of non-Christian dating sites. (See information for Relationships.com.) Uses questionable methods of advertising*.

christianrelation.com - They give no information about ownership on the website. Uses questionable methods of advertising*.

christian-services-savvy.com - This is just a site with links to other sites, most of which we describe here as ones to avoid. Uses questionable methods of advertising*.

christiansingleconnections.com - This is just a site with links to other sites, most of which we describe here as ones to avoid. Uses questionable methods of advertising*.

Godly Companions (godlycompanions.com) - Uses questionable methods of advertising*.

Love and Seek (www.loveandseek.com) - This site is also OWNED BY MORMONS. Compare loveandseek.com to ldsplanet.com.

Soulmatch (www.soulmatch.com) - Owned by Beliefnet, which supports all religions, including Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Humanist and Pagan.

SeekingChristian.com - This site, operated out of Moscow, is basically one of those "Russian Bride" sites. Based on the photographs of women on the site, it is obvious that this is not a Christian site. Please stay away from this website.

SinglesOfFaith.Com - Uses questionable methods of advertising*.

TrueSpice.com - Another secular site from True.com. Don't these people ever give up?

Where Christians Meet - (wherechristiansmeet.com) - Owned by a secular company (azoogle/azoogleads.com). Uses questionable methods of advertising*.

The following sites advertise under "christian dating" and "christian singles", but are not Christian, and I do NOT recommend using them in seeking a Christian mate. Why? Because the people they attract are either not Christian at all or not serious about their faith.

  • American Singles (www.AmericanSingles.com)
  • Chemistry.com (.chemistry.com)
  • DateFloor.com (www.datefloor.com)
  • Finding-Singles.com (www.finding-singles.com)
  • Great Expectations (www.great-expectations.net)
  • Match.com (www.match.com)
  • Lavalife (www.lavalife.com)
  • Love.org (www.love.org)
  • Perfect Match (www.PerfectMatch.com)
  • TheRightOne.com (www.therightone.com)
  • True (www.true.com)
  • Yahoo Personals (personals.yahoo.com)

Many other "Christian dating" sites recommend some or all of these sites. The reason? They choose money over integrity. I will not recommend a Christian dating site that I have not personally checked out, and that is not Christian owned.

Ever vigilant...

 

* "Uses questionable methods of advertising" means that the company used deceptive, misleading or unethical means of advertising. This includes, but is not limited to, using competitors' names in ways that bring in visitors looking for the competitors site (e.g. paid advertising using the competitor's name.), loading their site up with their competitors' keywords, claiming to be a "Christian" site when, in fact, it is a secular company exploting Christians who are sincerely seeking a godly mate and other ways of advertising that are somehow not completely truthful.

 

"But if we hope for what we do not yet have,
we wait for it patiently."

-- Romans 8:25 (NIV)
