I've been on christian mingle for 1 year and just today found a nice match. Looking at her profile we are very much a like. We share the same beliefs.

So what do I say to her?? Should I message her??

I would have thought that was the aim of being on a dating site?

My advice, given your other posts, is to take things slow however they progress.

Remember you just went through a painful situation with a member of the opposite sex, and as others have suggested it's a good time to get closer to Christ while you are single. Go ahead and let things progress, but take it slowly.

Ask her something about herself. Share something with her that you both have in common. "I see you like playing tennis, etc etc." Show an interest in something she wrote about.

Most women get contacted by a lot of men on those sites (who are contacting every woman they see with the same pick-up line), so she needs to know that you weren't just trolling through and writing to a hundred different women, but that you saw HER and thought her profile was wonderful. :)

Thank you all! Yes I will be slow. I was before and that didn't help. I think I wasn't what I did last time, it was who I did it with!!

This girl has 100% same beliefs as I do according to her profile.

You'll be fine :) the chances are because you have so much in common you will feel relaxed with her once you get to know her.

Well even on Legit datings sites can be fake profiles, So saying why not is not a great encouragement. Just because a profile pic with details that's sounds to you as good as you think, Don't mean its really them. However, if you are lead to start talking to her, then Maybe pray for God's will in it first. I know you can trust God to give you the right words to say. Pray about it. No Offence, you asking people on here is going to get you even more confused and mixed views as to what to say, and possibly no encouragement. The best thing for you to do is, Start off with a hello, how you doing, nice to meet you. and maybe ask her to show herself on webcam? Because anyone can grab a pic from google or other internet and make up a profile to pretend that's the person. Sorry it happens!. If she makes excuses that she cant go on webcam, Not all the time, but most young people has webcams, and if they are genuine enough they will show themselves on cam, at least that way you are getting a bit more security that you are talking to the genuine person. But those who fake will make all sorts of excuses.

Im not saying that the person you met is not real, but just giving you the taste of the real world of fakes who loves going on the dating sites to mess and troll with innocent people. So be careful for those reasons, but the best thing you can do is pray about it, make sure its his will for you to date, for you to meet and have relationship. that why you will know for sure. and know what to say too.

No way. Plus that not the guy I am. I see she says she loves her family...so do I. She loves god so do I. She is studying to be a nursing assistant.

She is Baptist so is my family (I'm non-denominational)

As others have said, sometimes people claim to be someting they are not. Be careful.

But even if you two are a 100 percent match, it can still happen to fast or during the wrong time frame. Trust me. My advice is to take things slow, or you may find yourself bewailing how God wanted you to be together.

Take it really slowly. You seem a bit too anxious right now, and women can sense that. Just make sure Christ is enough for you that you're 100 percent happy, then any relationship on top of it is extra gravy, and you will be truly blessed.

If you found a woman with the same beliefs based on faith then I would say give her a hollar what have you got to lose as long as it is good faith but as far as an intimate relationship I wouldn't even have that in mind but we could all use someone to talk to

Okay, what I'm going to say is probably going to sound harsh, but it was the first thing that popped into my head when I read this...

It's great that you found a girl that you feel compatible with, but it worries me that you are THIS anxious over saying hello and are asking so many questions and wanting step by step instructions. It's okay to be nervous and excited, but this just seems a bit too...much, especially considering your previous posts on wanting a girlfriend.

By all means, message her if you'd like, be casual but friendly, but in the meantime, it might be a good idea to grow in your confidence and maturity.

Erm... yeah... i was just joking. I would never approach a woman in that manner. Ask around, i've yet to hit on any woman in the forums. Not that i haven't noticed some, but its not me to act like that.

No you were not to harsh.

Now I'm going to be 100% honest. The reason I feel like I need "step by step" guidance is because I've never ever dated before. I'm embarrassed to say it, I really just don't even know what to say!!
