Looking for free Christian dating sites? Sounds good right? Meet other Christian singles online for free.

But hold on a second there. You know what they say about things that look too good to be true, right? So what\’s the deal with free Christian online dating sites – are they for real?

Well, first of all, many of the respectable Christian online dating services do offer free trials – so you can try them out first, view their database of Christian singles and see if you like them. Then you upgrade to a paid subscription in order to start interacting with people that interest you.

Those are not the sites I\’m talking about. I\’m talking about sites that offer to match you up with other Christian singles \’completely free\’.

Before you try these sites, you may want to know exactly what you\’ll be getting with them. Here\’s a listing of the most common complaints people have with free Christian dating sites:

#1 The People You Find Are Not As Serious

Just as when you get something for free, you\’re less likely to value it – many of the people on the free sites don\’t take them that seriously either.

So they may be looking for a casual relationship, they may already be in a relationship and are just looking for someone better, you don\’t really know.

Think about it the other way – if you\’re willing to spend some money for a service, you\’re probably much more serious about finding a committed relationship leading to marriage.

#2 You\’re More Likely To Meet Scammers and Con Artists on Free Sites

Because these free services don\’t require your credit card, there\’s no paper trail. This is an open invitation to scammers and con artists looking to take advantage of naive daters.

And make no mistake, there are plenty of online dating scammers out there, looking to take you for money, identity theft, or whatever they can get. It can be dangerous.

The free sites attract these people much more regularly than paid sites. Scam artists don\’t like paid sites because they require a credit card, which gives you a paper trail and a real name, should somebody lodge a complaint against them.

#3 You\’re More Likely To Get Inactive Members with Free Christian dating sites

Free sites don\’t generally have the staff to clean up inactive members, track complaints or generally keep up the site.

Plus, because people aren\’t paying for the service, they\’re more likely to leave their profile up for months, even if they are no longer interested in meeting someone.

So you can end up wasting a lot of your time searching for people who are no longer interested in finding a relationship. It can be frustrating to search through hundreds of profiles just to find most of them haven\’t been on the site for months – and aren\’t responding to your contact emails.

Plus I find, these sites aren\’t as vigilant at making sure profiles, pictures and written answers are appropriate and clean as you get with paid sites.

So those are 3 things to know before you try any of the free Christian dating sites. While everyone likes to save money, personally I wouldn\’t recommend them if you\’re serious about finding a solid Christian relationship.

Almost every quality Christian dating site that uses a subscription based fee service does give you a free trial (a chance to view their listings for free). So you can try out different services and choose one that fits best for you. And at about $9.99 – $25 a month, they really don\’t cost you that much.

If you\’re serious about finding a great relationship and not wasting your time, you\’re probably better off choosing one of these services. No matter what you choose to do, remember to be safe – never reveal personal information about yourself online, take things slowly and always meet people out in public places, especially on first dates.
