I have used a few different dating sites and I am slowly getting over the whole online dating thing. Either its the Wrong type of people who are very dodgy or never read profiles or that men's membership prices can often be much higher than the woman's-which suck!
I am currently only a member of one and that's an Australian website and I am finding it ok. I think of course being a paid member, and being very specific on you profile about what your seeking are two things that will often help when sifting the genuine people from the dodgy.
Chey60, I say God for it. Its good to put ourselves out there I reckon, and though I don't know ya from a bar of soap, you come across as articulate and very down to earth. Just be really sure of what your looking for and more importantly what your NOT looking for when online. Either way God knows what you want and need and all things work together for the good of those who love him

Thank you, great response..
Actually, I found out that much of what's on the free sites is on the paid christian sites..
and honestly?
I think I am done with them for the reasons you just mentioned.
for 5 years I have been on them off and on and gosh? now I am just tired..
tired of people not being who they say they are, telling you what you want to hear..
tired of the wishy washy christian men..who want to go to church and minister and then behind
closed doors be very worldly not set apart at all..
tired of getting my hopes dashed every time a tall handsome "Seriously christian" man writes to me that lives near me and turns out to be one of the above.
..compromising their values..because THEY don't believe in a particular scripture (I call these people buffet christians.. take what you want to accept and leave what you don't because you are looking at it through human eyes not the Holy Spirit)
it's just tiring.. I may be a young 53 1/2 but I am still over half a century old and I am just tired of waiting and hoping TBH.
I think men in my age range that love God, want to be a spiritual leader and cherish God's ways and their future wife
just don't exist.. they are already married or already getting married...
i think that I messed up when I first chose on my own instead of waiting for God's perfect will for me..
and then , when things went awry.. things went awry (well sorry, they had already gone awry and just plain stopped going awry cause the marriage ended) it was too late to hope that I could start over..at age 45...
Oh and thank you for the articulate and down to earth comment.. I think I am .. I like to hope so
I also think I would be a treasure to a man (and it took me a long time to believe that) because I have that kind of heart...and love for God.
but.. I just think it's too late..and I am just going to continue to serve God, love God and just forget about being a wife again..
thanks for what you said! it is a blessing!

I agree with the person that said the "best apple" .
I can't speak for someone with your age group..
I personally think the most sincere guys on these sites are between ages 28-36..
the only reason I know is because since I don't look my age, these men would message me..just to talk..
and we ended up friends (online only) ...they were sincere in what they were looking for in a wife..
and they were really nice guys with good values..
something happens to them later, I guess failed marriages and all that, ends up hardening them..
(not all but most that I met)
sometimes the dating sites remind of of the island of misfit toys from Rudolph the Red Nose reindeer.
I'm one too
we are the missing sock from the pair that disappeared from the dryer..
and many other metaphors..or analogies..
but it's like none of us match up!
it's disheartening..
thank goodness my joy is not found in all that..but..
just know that if you are going to stay on the sites and you are sincere in your faith and walk,
make sure they have your same values..before you go out with them..cause why waste
time unless you just want a free dinner just kidding..it would be hard to eat across from someone
you don't even like..

I joined one "free" site. It's free to put your info up, but you have to pay to message the person to set up any sort of meeting, so it's not really free.
I then joined Christian Mingle a few weeks back because some people here were talking about the color test thing they have and it was kind of fun to take. I am a combo of blue and white - white was just one point less than blue - - not enough to really count as a "secondary color." Does that make me "sky blue?"
Anyway, I will probably take all my info off. I didn't put my picture up or anything, but I am sick of email notices about who is perfect for me or so-and-so tried to contact me. Besides, I've got too many music gigs lined up for the holidays. I have no time!

"the partner laid..." When I read the story of Rebecca and Isaac I would agree, but I also see Rebecca WASN´T BLIND and that servant looked to GENEROUS for Laban, Rebecca and her family and, according to ALL THOSE WORDS the servant said, she was MOVED BY ECONOMIC STATUS. She never saw a picture of Isaac, but she was "lucky" when both like to EACH OTHER, at distance.
Does God´s blessing come in a PACKED? I mean, with BEAUTY and money? Since THEY NEVER SPOKE ABOUT THEIR LIKES, dreams, beliefs, and those things we today chat and consider...
The Bible teaches how important economy is before being engaged and MARRIED. Beauty, on its side, is well considered to wedding so, as dating sites refers, they will help ME a long shut to reach people from afar, profhilactically to know WHO she is and WHO I am...
My concern is how much God woukd be involved in this, since PASTORS CANNOT DO as chaperons and, besides, there IS NOT A MINISTRY to help SINGLES or divorced ones, in a way one MARRY THE RIGHT ONES and the others could work out again.

I have paid.
Twice.
Always said I would never pay but I did and regret it.
Was so lonely.
Not connecting with anyone or meeting anyone can talk with /to and be with , truly.....
Also I keep removing pictures because when someone writes to me they do not feel like they could be romantic future and no real connection is established.
Its like empty my inter netting....no "spirit" in it.
Also I feel that I am in a commited relationship so I want to wait for this special someone I made contact with although we have not met in person I feel commited.
But the years go......
I wanted some love, support after cancer and saw others kissing , travelling and living but i was workaholic and still not received money for it but soon soon as court hearing decided I will have it now.
To have friends chat with would be nice also.
Catholic aged care would not even give me volunteerwork despite visiting more than 4 times and handling in all forms.
Heard of a thief who had surgery of someone elses time and ....
I wanted to do a few hours physical labour as well.
I get shadowed and holo....c
Room living in has no energy or air so difficult breath and be in despite open windows.
Will pray for room feel better.
Thing is my computer been hacked for many years.
I used to chat with someone who builds computers.
Every day for 3 yrs and we only met once.
Think he hacked me maliciously.
If your hacked you will only get mocked at every site and hate fulness in intelligent ways someone as educated as these people it is advanced maliciousness.

I think meeting someone who lives in a different country and bein in a virtual relationship isn't a good idea.
For example, If I met a Christian woman on CC that's from Albania, we are in a virtual relationship and wants me come visit her, I think she needs to pay for my plane ticket.
CC isn't a type of site to find a relationship, its for getting closer to God and have a good relationship with him.
But I don't mind meeting new ppl and visitng em in the US but not in different countries I want.
U cant trust anyone who u meet.
