eHarmony and other matchmaking sites have really caught on. There are a good number of Christians on these sites. Is it okay to date someone you met on the Internet? It seems like these days, interaction through the Internet is becoming the default option.

Yes, internet dating is a better alternative than bars.

Of course one has be careful on the dating stage.
Public places are safe to date and preferably during the daytime.

Another thing is that you get more or less an idea to what kind of a person you will be meeting. Through the subject matters you discuss, the words he/she uses, the kind of mentality he/she has, the opinion etc. during the period on the chat board. Don't rush in meeting he/she give it a few weeks. I use the 1-2 months method. He/She usually reveals more of his/her personality.

Friendship is a start to a relationship. It has been safe for me so far. Use common sense and good judgement and you'll be ok.

I think internet dating is a good alternate to the bars. It's a way to check out whether you have things in common, their values, whether they are or a Christian. Unfortunately, many of the ladies that I have met exaggerate their age and do not include current photos. Therefore, when we do meet, it can be a shock! I wish I could meet some of the ladies that have responded to this survey. They are lovely and have a true belief in Christ.

I met my dear husband online 10 years ago. We married two years later. He was newly divorced and I had been divorced for 20 years. Neither one of us did bars, so the only other way we knew to meet new people was online. It's a great way to meet someone, but you have to be very careful. Create a new email account just for online dating sites, and never use your real name, or whole name on the email return address. Never give anyone your phone number, full name or address. NEVER!! Take the time to get to know someone before you meet them in person, and then meet them in the daytime in a public place. Be sure to tell a couple of friends or family members where you are going and what you are doing.

We have a very good marriage and my youngest daughter met her husband online and my husbands youngest son met his wife online. It works. Just be careful and wise. Also be honest. Don't put things in your profile that aren't truthful. Hold out for a good Christian man.

Internet dating has changed a lot from what it was when I started 11 years ago. Today it's a game, but I still think it's a great way for people to meet one another. I've made some great friends but still have not met my husband

I have not actually completed my sign up with EHarmony but have with other sites. I like the fact that I can put criterias on the site and be able to see others. I don't know when I would have the courage to acutally use the site for a date but I am glad to know the option is there.
