What Should You Think About Before You Join An Online Dating Website?
In this blog post, I will reveal some things about what you should think about when it comes to online dating and especially when you sign up for a dating site.
This post is very general and contains advice not specific to Christian dating, so the facts I’m about to share with you are helpful for all dating websites.
I would also like to state that this blog has no affiliation with match.com or flirt pig, two of the other dating websites that are mentioned in the article below. They are only here to serve as examples for other dating websites and have not sponsored this post in any way.
Online Dating: What To Think About It
I want to start by stating that online dating is now the most common way to meet someone in today’s busy world. The same information that I shared with you in a previous blog post.
We don’t have enough time to go and meet people all around the globe or even in the same city to find a suitable mate. It’s too time-consuming since we have many other things around us the entire time. This is where dating sites may play a vital role in our lives.
Dating websites often offer a form you fill out with all your personal information in great detail; some even provide a small personality test.
I don’t know about you, but this scared me a lot before I started to blog and learn about the online dating industry from the professional side.
Because this taught me that the reason you fill in so much information about yourself and detailed information about the person that would be your ideal match is to help the computer calculate a good game for you, what I call “automated matchmaking.”
The personality test does the same thing if humans are involved in the process called “manual” matchmaking.
At ChristianDatingInternational.Com, we rely on automated matchmaking but also manual matchmaking. I am responsible for manual matchmaking. This is probably the best part of my coaching since I can compare people’s profiles, and they teach me a lot about each individual and how diversified we are as humans.
Some of my clients would never have been matched by the computer, so my work made all the difference for them.
Now, I’m not here to brag about myself but to offer you excellent advice on online dating. So, let’s get back to this.
The 3 Things You Always Need To Think About
There are many things that can make- or break your chances to find love on any dating site but the 3 most common think you seriously need to consider before joining a dating site are:
1. What is the single most important thing for me that I share with another person?
Is it that we share the same faith/religion? Is it that we share a similar passion for pets (as an example)? That we might have the same hobby (fishing for example)? Is it that we are living in the same city/region? The list goes on and on but I will stop here with a few examples, just so you get the hang of it.
2. Which personality trait that I myself lack is it that I want to find in a different human being?
Is it the ability to see things from a different perspective? Is it that I am impatient and want the significant other to be patient? Is it something totally different?
3. What am I prepared to do and what am I looking for?
One of the major things, why people fail, when they are looking for love is that they become disappointed when they’re not finding what they want and this is something you need to put a whole lot of serious consideration to before joining any dating site.
Are you looking for a quick hook-up on sites like FlirtPig? A serious relationship that you can find on dating sites like match.com? Do you want to meet the love of your life that shares your Christian faith and values, like ChristianDatingInternational.com? There are many questions you need to have an answer to before joining any dating website.
Advice For Dating Online
Once you have answered these questions, I would like to finish this blog post with some recommendations. Now, these are general since I don’t know you, but these will always work:
Have a look at many different dating websites before you sign up for one.
Once you’ve decided on one, read about it before signing up and seriously ask yourself: Is this a dating website that I want to join, and where my next relationship might start?
Please look at their Terms of Service (TOS) and how they earn their money. If they want you to pay for a subscription to use their services, ensure you know what you get. Is it by letting people watch ads, or is it by a model of different membership subscriptions?
CHRISTIANDATINGINTERNATIONAL.COM, for example, is a website that uses the membership subscription-based model, as you can read about here on Chi Rho Dating.
Once you’ve joined them, you have agreed to the terms of service, their membership model, and their cookie policy, which they have to be open to since this is one of the few special laws regulating today’s dating marketing.
For example, I have chosen to link you to the Cookie Policy of ChiRhoDating.com.
I hope this lengthy article has given you some good advice and shed light on the many things you must consider before signing up for an online dating website.
Finally, I would like to wish you good luck in finding your love on whatever dating website you have chosen. May you find your love there!

My next blog post will be published on Saturday, the 8th of August 2015.

See you then,
