Just a few days ago, I was looking up the bible on biblegateway when I saw an online advert for a Christian online dating site. I have never considered using an online dating site before, but there was something about having a dating site for Christians which attracts me, and I thought I would should it a try. And so I signed up for an account, but there was unfortunately no other Singaporean users of the dating site.
It interested me to know how many users there would be on
a mainstream online dating site that is used by Singaporeans. Two of the most
popular website which turned up on my search list are lovestruck.com and
match.com. I signed up for an account, selected the listed options describing
certain details about myself, uploaded a narrative about myself, and a photo of
myself. I could then filter the search options of girls by age, ethnicity,
religion, and a whole host of other factors. The database would churn out a
list of profiles of users matching the search criterias, and you could go
through the list, clicking the portrait of those you are interested in to see
more details, and exhibit interest by selecting a ‘wink’ option which would
notify the other party of your interest.
I am not sure whether it is advisable for a Christian to
use an online dating site. I am sure many of my guy friends at church would
dissuade me from using this method. I suppose it pays to be a bit cautious
about the people you meet through an online dating site. An online dating site
remains a curiosity for me, but I think I will keep an open mind about using it
to find a relationship. So far, I have received notifications from two girls
displaying interest in me. The unfortunate thing is that I have to pay a subscription
fee in order to send a message via the online dating site to the person.
I heard that there is something called the social dating
unit for undergraduates in Singapore. From what I have seen from checking it
out, it isn’t exactly an online dating site, but a group that organizes
activities for undergraduates to participate in.
I remain somewhat intimidated of approaching the opposite
sex in any manner with intent towards forming a relationship. And I have never
quite felt well-acquainted with girls or with the idea of
being in a relationship with one. But I can’t help the fact that I do find
myself attracted to girls, and I don’t think I can profess an easy
satisfaction with the idea of being single for life, as much as I
often feel like an individualist.

Hi Samuel,
I'm also a fellow lovestruck member, though I'm at the London end of things. Speaking from experience in Britain, it really is a great website; one of the safest I've come across. You'll surely find a nice lady to keep you happy, you can filter by religion too if that's your preference.
Good luck!
Hi Emma,
Good to hear from your pleasant experience with online dating sites. Thanks for the well-wishes as well. Hope you have found a nice guy to be happy with. All the best with your relationship!
