Yesterday returning from a seminar I met a man who stopped me to say "lady you can make a good wife" I just smiled and went my way. But it got me thinking,

How does a Christian single approach another single for a date?

what are some pick-up statements that Christian singles can safely use?

By the way inspired by @seoulsearch I am gathering the singles of my church for a retreat during the summer holidays. I wonder what we will be teaching, please any ideas?

Be sure you have a good strong stomach before you click on that. Some of them can be very, extremely cheesy.

Ok....
I got a "different" view in that you should NEVER NEVER NEVER date anyone you don't know a LOT about.

IOW.....you should date friends instead of acquaintances. So be friendly, generous, kind, and genuine to LOTS of people....
It really doesn't cost you much but time developing relationships with everyone. Get to know those who have a thin line of attachment in your world. (Attend your church, deliver packages, delivers water, sweeps halls, repairs equipment or whatever. Asking questions about them....

But I love pick-up lines....they are a fun way to flirt without doing anything harmful or wrong. Everyone smiles at the pickup lines I use... they are NOT intended for actually picking someone up.
Dunno anything about that.

The non-Christian dating scene is very predatory. People look for lines that will "work"; in other words, snag their prey. People, and women especially, can smell pickup lines a mile away. In my opinion Christians should avoid them. For the Christian, dating shouldn't be a predatory sport but an opportunity to share yourself and learn about each other. If one must resort to pickup lines, I always found Seinfeld's approach original and amusing. He came up with some pretty good ones, like: "You may not know it by looking at me, but I can run really fast."

here's one i thought of: after a Christian guy gets to know (thru a pastor & or friends ), a Christian woman reasonably well without being introduced to her, he says to her: "tell me what Caribbean island you want to honeymoon on"!

You are so right. But sometimes one will really have to go through the process of know each other because churches are getting emptier. our brothers are traveling out and those in church are almost married.

Yes pick up lines make us smile even if we wanted or not.

Let's see, definitively christian lines that you could only use on Christians:

The bible says we should greet with a holy kiss.

Christians don't shake hands, christians hug.

Nice Bible.

Can you help me with this verse Ecclesiastes 4:11 - two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone?

The song of solomon is about you isn't it?

My life verse is proverbs 31.

I've been praying for more singles in the church and you're the answer to my prayers.

I've got this friend...Jesus. Do you know him?
