What's the real 411 on Christian dating

[leocat815]

I would like to meet a man and have a true christian realationship which means celibacy, but I'm afraid no matter how much a man says he's saved he's still going to want to go there and therefore I'm reluctant to date.:prayer:

Finding a man who is saved is the first step, If he's a Christian is he living a Christian life. But if you are reluctant to date you won't find the man for you. I think if you are honest upfront it will be easier.

Don't date someone who claims to be a Christian but doesn't live it.
I Corinthians 5:11, "What I meant was that you are not to keep company with anyone who claims to be a brother Christian but indulges in sexual sins, or is greedy, or is a swindler, or worships idols, or is a drunkard, or abusive. Don't even eat lunch with such a person."

Don't date a lazy Christian.
II Thessalonians 3:6, "Now here is a command, dear brothers, given in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ by his authority: Stay away from any Christian who spends his days in laziness and does not follow the ideal of hard work we set up for you."

God Bless,

Go ahead and date men who claim to be Christian, and by their actions you'll find out if they are or not. If one wants to "go there," then show him the door. And if he tries to "go there" without your permission, kick him in the nuts.

Not true, christian men will not go there before marriage. Now some christian men may want to go there, it's normal for a guy to feel a strong attraction for a woman, but if he is truly a christian he will ask you to marry him first.

I truly pray that you find a godly man who is a good match for you.

Don't expect perfection, he is a man after all, if he was perfect, he wouldn't need you.

You can handle things pretty well, at least in the beginning, just by your choices of what to do and where you go. Fun things in public places promote both a good time and good behavior. That allows both of you to relax and be yourselves more than being alone together.

More than a few christian fellows feel pressured to make advances even if they don't really want to. I know it sounds strange, but there are so many women out there that think a guy isn't interested at all if he isn't trying to tear their clothes off that many guys have been dropped just because they didn't behave improperly. More than one has been accused of being a homosexual when he isn't. So realize that a fellow that is interested in you is trying to walk a line of letting you know he is interested and at the same time behave properly. It is more difficult than many women appreciate.

Sometimes, with all the people out there treating the opposite sex poorly, I think it is truly amazing that anyone treats anyone properly.
