I am no stranger to dating apps. I am single, 24, and I live in London, very much the target audience. I am also a Catholic who has only ever used secular dating apps. So when my friend and sometime colleague asked me to review a Christian dating app for her I agreed immediately. I am outgoing and chatty and had enjoyed a number of fun and interesting conversations with dates I had met through the secular apps, and I saw no reason for a Christian one to be any different.
I thought this would therefore be a good excuse to dip my toe into the world of Christian dating. I would recommend online dating to anyone: I have had a wonderful, positive experience that has taught me a lot about myself.
I would have to log in on my browser, which is unfamiliar territory for a millennial. The site offers a seven-day free trial, with an extra three days free if you upload a photo. Plenty of time for me to explore using it without getting tied into a subscription, the cheapest of which was for Dollar 30 a month, all the way up to The first thing the site asks is if I am free to be in a relationship, that is, not still married to someone else. Previously when filling in profiles I have had a lot of fun, answering questions and thinking about the kind of person I am.
How tall are you? How many children do you want? What do you earn? After that there were several long-answer questions, which ranged from the normal what is your ideal date to the intrusive why did your last relationship break down. I filled in enough information to give potential matches a feel for my personality, without disclosing my whole life. Then I began to explore what, I felt sure, would be the plethora of young Christian men on this site.
Alas, there were four aged in the whole of the Southeast of England. I wink at all four and call it a day. One of the things that the site boasts is its international appeal CC is based in USA , bringing Christians together from across the world, and this certainly was true of my inbox the next day. This became a theme. It took five days for me to get a message from someone in the UK. The site offers very little in the way of filtering.
