Guides for Christian singles
Christian Dating Advice: Date Wisely, Keep Your Faith
Kind, honest answers to the questions Christian singles ask most.
Wise words for every step of dating as a Christian
Dating as a Christian raises questions that a mainstream dating column rarely answers. How far is too far? Should I date someone from a different church? What do I put on my profile without sounding like a sermon? Is it safe to meet someone I found online?
These guides answer them plainly and kindly. Where Christians disagree, we say so and set out the main views fairly, so you can pray it through and talk to your own church. Pick the topic closest to where you are today.

Questions about our guides
Who writes the Christian Love guides?
The Christian Love team writes them, drawing on years of helping Christian singles meet since 2007. They are practical advice, not church teaching, so for questions of doctrine we always point you back to your own minister or church family.
Do the guides favour one denomination?
No. Christians of every church are welcome here. Where traditions see things differently, such as remarriage or physical boundaries, we set out each view fairly.
Where should I start if I am new to Christian dating?
Begin with can I date and stay true to my faith, then read the profile tips before you create your profile.
