Conveniently, creating a member login takes a matter of seconds. In order to register, you merely have to input basic details – name, gender, date of birth, email and address.
In order to create a dating profile, you are asked a standard set of profile questions. These commence with your own personal attributes - body type, your color of eyes, and so on, presenting drop-down boxes for you to select options. Under body type, there is a reasonably extensive list of possibilities, ranging from slender and athletic, through average or muscular, to well-proportioned. Some of these might seem like synonyms, such as a well-proportioned and voluptuous, or even full-figured.
Since this is a Christian website, questions are slanted towards various questions about the name of the church you attend. But there are also more generic points, such as whether or not you have children, and if you want them in the future. You are invited to specify if you a smoker or a drinker, and also what are you looking for in a new partner. Here there are several options, ranging from a friend or activity partner to a worship partner and then onto an email contact or a long-term relationship leading up to a marriage partner. Finally, you are asked if you would be willing to relocate.
After completing these questions, you can input various interests, before moving on to a fuller profile description. This is where you get the opportunity to describe yourself in more accurate detail, including your likes and dislikes, the qualities which are important to you, and anything else that you would like other site users to get to know about you. At this stage, you are requested not to input telephone details, an email address or a postal address. There's also a further warning that any profiles which are created containing expletives or inappropriate language will result in the account being banned immediately.
The next box is all about what you would like to do on a first date. There is a bank of emojis on the right-hand side of this page, enabling you to keep your descriptions informal. Once you have completed all the aspects of this page you click on the button ‘create my profile' and the job's done.
As well as establishing your own look for the benefit of interested site users, you must convey exactly what you are looking for when you begin browsing through the existing profiles on the site.
There are only two pricing plans, free or an inexpensive paid membership at $4.95 per month.
How to use ChristianDatingFor Free search? There are three search options: basic search, advanced search, and user search. When you activate the basic search, the page which opens already defaults to hundreds of thousands of entries within your ‘all search criteria.' The top of the page allows you to refine your search, depending on whether you are searching for a male or female, which particular state in the USA and the age range, or if you'd rather search by city.
Each of the profiles specifies the username, their age and their location, together with the photo. Clicking on these gives further details, allowing you to outline aspects such as height, hair color, denomination, and so on. You also have three options depending on whether you'd prefer messaging them, sending a wink or adding to favorites. Advanced search allows you to specify a whole range of parameters. As well as going into further detail about body shapes, you can specify which particular Christian denomination you are interested in, with entries covering everything from the Apostolic Assembly of God to Mennonites and everything else in-between. Lastly, there is a search which allows you to quickly go to someone's profile based on their user name.
How to delete your ChristianDatingForFree account? Go to Help/FAQ at the foot of the page. This will open a list of frequently asked questions. Q6 is ‘How do I close my account?' Select this, then click on the link which appears. Finally, input your username, login, the reason for leaving (from drop-down box options, or specify your own) and your account will be deactivated.
There are many websites which are specifically aimed at people of a certain faith, and ChristianDatingForFree prides itself in offering the cheapest option for Christian singles. While the free membership certainly gives access to a full suite of functionality, this does come with a cost. Because the website needs to gather revenue from somewhere, it can be cluttered with adverts. Many of these coincidentally relate to dating, so it can be quite distracting to find yourself on one page, searching through the profiles of Christians you are attracted to, when a pop-up appears for a completely different site, enticing you with images of potentially more attractive singles!
The site isn't the most adventurous in terms of its overall design, and while it is fairly user-friendly, it doesn't really offer much encouragement to commit to this particular website when there are many more far more attractive alternatives. It would seem that the old adage about getting what you pay for is more than accurate in this instance. If you are not prepared to subscribe to a dating site, then you need be prepared to put up with all the distracting adverts.
