Meeting a life partner is no easy task, especially when you're looking for someone to share your spiritual life in addition to your secular interests. If church doesn't seem like a romantic hot spot and bars don't attract the right types, you might think you're out of luck. But before you settle down for another Saturday night with a pint of ice cream and a movie rental, think about joining one of the online religious dating services. You might be surprised to learn that online dating is safe, easy, and contrary to stereotype, a method that many normal, socially adept people are opting to try.
- Before you pay to join a service, you can usually check out member profiles and read testimonials for free. Search around and see if anyone looks interesting before joining.
- Most services make it possible for you to exchange messages with potential dates anonymously, so you don't have to give out any personal information until you're absolutely ready.
- Internet dating is becoming increasingly common. Reuters recently featured this article on Muslim women who are using the Internet as a way to meet men.
