Christian online dating tip sites abound these days as more and more Christian singles try to find romance using online dating personals. Although there are still some who think that dating services online 'corrupt' the youth, in reality, when used well and with caution, they provide a great service to the Christian religion.

Think about it; using an online dating site, Christian singles get the chance to meet other Christian singles with whom they normally may not come into contact. As a result, these paid or free online dating sites help the proliferation of the Christian faith.

However, this does not mean that dating services online should be used with abandon. Sadly, there are those that do use an online dating site for dubious means so we have collated a couple of Christian online dating tip safety pointers for you to consider.

Christian Online Dating Tip -- Safety 101

If you're still hesitant with using online dating personals consider the following Bible quote. It will surely put you in the right mood of seeking someone.

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up. Again, if two lie together, they are warm; but how can one be warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him."
Song of Solomon 7:10-12

"I found the one whom my soul loves."
Song of Solomon 3:4
Christian Online Dating Tip # 1 -- Be picky with the online dating site you choose.

While you may be eager in finding your soul mate online, it's also equally important to be careful. One of the first things you can do to prevent any bad experience with online dating personals is to choose the online dating site with which you want to subscribe well. By choosing a reputable site, you increase the chance that your data will be better protected and that other Christian subscribers to the site are more serious and not just there to 'prowl' and 'have a good time'.

"Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth."
1 Corinthians 13:6
Christian Online Dating Tip # 2 -- Don't share your true identity with every online dating prospect.

As Christians, we believe in truth and sincerity. However, the online world has its own rules sometimes and it becomes equally important to safeguard your true identity. In fact, under no circumstances should you share your true identity to other online daters at the start.

However, this online dating advice does not mean you should not practice the virtue of sincerity. Be truthful when sharing details such as your hobbies, like and dislikes, and others. You can even upload your real picture so you don't give people a wrong impression about you but don't give them your real name, your real address and other important information (like your credit card number or Social Security number!).

Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
Proverbs 27:5
Christian Online Dating Tip # 3 -- When you're ready to bring things to a new level, discuss the possibility of meeting face-to-face. However...

Try to validate the identity of your online date. When you feel you've met someone you like and trust enough to date offline, now's the time to share more of your true identity. However, and here's an important Christian online dating tip, find out and try to verify the other person's identity too. This is easy enough to do. Once you get his/her name and location you can check out if he/she really did go to the school he/she mentioned or is indeed working in the place he/she indicated.

Conduct your first meeting in a 'safe environment'. Ok, so you're ready to move from online dating personals to an OFFline date eh? Here are some Christian online dating tips for you to heed.

o Meet during the day. Night dates are more of a safety hazard; plus, it's much easier to end a mid-day, getting-to-know-you, cup-of-coffee date than a dinner date (should you end up not liking him/her).

o Meet in a public place.
