A week ago today yours truly was walking the dog, Trisha, pondering about joining Great Expectations Dallas. As of this minute, I type to my readers as a happy member of the matchmaking service. No kidding, I am. Its very comfortable and full of nice people! If you know me at all, you may be wondering, “You totally owe me an explanation.”

Here’s how it went down, I looked at this Great Expectations Dating site and liked what I saw. They’re for quality and professional singles who care enough to know dating doesn’t have to be so frivolous and stupid.

‘Cause I’d never been too big on this silly social phenomenon my friends and my family have christened “dating.” I faced it all the time. Day and night readers pester, “Are you seeing somebody?” and “Just get out there and date him!”

“Ugh, and double ugh.” I reply, smiling ear to ear. “There’s nothing to date!”

“You’re as ridiculous as you are hilarious,” they reply. “How would you know, you haven’t seen Friday Night Magic in a year!”

Thankfully, that’s my friend The One-And-Only (hehe) Patty Feldman. She sets the best ideas directly to my core 99% of the time. Loved ones you can trust to offer perspective. Can’t argue with that, and I thank her for it.

Back to the point of this post. As I browsed from more than three hundred outfits (hah) and desirable, honest singles for my first Great Expectations date, I realized something real. For years, I hadn’t held the greatest of figurative great expectations for dating in the serendipitous path of being alive. Being single isn’t so bad, only if you use the freedom to date. Holding great expectations does wonders for those who believe.

The peculiarities of Christian online dating are determined by basic religious rules. That is why dating sites for Christians look a bit different from those dating sites that do not distinguish their members according to religious beliefs. Anyway it’s great that this religion does not prohibit people find each other with the help of online dating. Christian religious communities are numerous and count hundreds of thousands of members. Online dating services are popular mostly among Christians who live in Western Europe and in USA.

Christian online dating sites are of decent look, commonly don’t have commercial advertising, and are free of charge for their members (not all of them, there are also chargeable services). You might be surprised to find out that most of personals do not have photos, as appearance is the last that is supposed to be taken into consideration. Human traits, social activity, and family values are on the first place here.

Christian online dating sites are claimed to be discriminating in attitude to gay rights and homosexuals in general because they restrict their dating services to heterosexual couples.
