I'm pretty sure that is Pagan
It may be a sin
In fact, it may be one of the Seven Deadly Sins
I believe during the times of the Early Church, people were put to death for doing things like this

On the OTHER HAND

If it promotes Christian values, and is Governed by Biblical Teachings, it sounds like a good idea to me!

Too bad Christian dating sites have worse reputations for dishonest memebers than secular sites. And a worse reputation of people looking for sex.

There are already many out there. Owned by both Christians and non-Christians. Even the owner of CC, Robo, owns a Christian dating site on top of this one.

Heresy I say! Heresy! How dare thou try to find thine own true love with such a petty thing as the dastardly and reprehensible internet! ;)

I didn't know that. Probably because I've never been to one, but hope his does well.

Most dating sites are worldly, since many are only looking to hook up for sex, and not an actual relationship.

Get your Bible out............study the "principles" of a Christian lifestyle.......promote these principles........do not promote earthly desires........put some effort into learning this stuff for yourself........as you are the one to create the Site.

Do not rely on the wisdom of man, turn to God, and seek His wisdom.........this you have to do for yourself......

Have you made ANY EFFORT at all? If so, tell us what you have done.

To many Christian dating sites already.
For something different, try a Christian-Atheist dating site.
They say opposites attract.
Would make for some hilarious conversation.

Ya know what, on second thought, forget that idea...

Dating leads to marriage, which leads to having children. Procreation is kinda important... you know the whole furthering the human race thing

If you were to create a Christian dating site what is the reason and purpose of it? the obvious answer of course is to bring people together and help people find love but even so that alone isn't sufficient because that was motive for almost all dating sites and I have never heard of one having a good reputation even Christian ones.

I am not saying not to do it but rather I am hoping you will search your heart and ponder the reason for making it the motive of doing and if your prepared to handle the chaos that may come with it. if your heart is not in it all the way then your site will never lift off the ground only those who have a deep passion and love and deep desire for their work are able to make it successful many people have attempted to make dating sites but few ever make it off the ground

If you think you can be bothered to have the responsibility for a site (uncluding keeping it up and running and fighting off trolls) og ahead.

I think my advice has to be; Make Clear rules and present them so that no one can claim not to have know about them.

Keep in mind that predators use such sites to try and lure Children, no matter the good intents of the site owner
