When the only experience you have of dating and women is from pop culture, it is difficult to truly know what Jesus would do. All the examples that Christian singles have are from a text that is 2,000 years old, and hardly relevant to modern times. Here are some of the common questions about dating that Christian singles ask, and their Godly answers.

I have a past that was not very ‘Christian’. How do I tell my Christian dates?

Often Christian singles have converted to Christianity after secular life experiences. If you were sexually promiscuous in the past, for example, start off by telling your date that you haven’t always been a Christian, and simply talk about your conversion. It lays the groundwork for full disclosure later, if appropriate.

Is it okay for Christian singles to French kiss?

This depends entirely on your own views. Some Christian singles are happy to French kiss, some aren’t. However, the church generally advises against going any further than French kissing.

My date’s family belongs to another religion, but my date wants to be Christian. How should I handle this?

If you eventually marry, it could create a lot of family tension having two different religions mixed. Consider this carefully while you’re still a Christian single! Some people will advise you to end the relationship, no matter what the situation. This is the easy way out. People will not learn mutual respect (yourself included) if they surround themselves with people who don’t challenge their views. It won’t always be right… but sometimes it might.
