Overview from the Real Christian Singles Dating Sites

"Real Christian Singles is a non-denominational service to help single Christians find godly mates. We provide single Christians (including widowed and divorced Christians) with a comfortable online environment to meet other Christian singles."

What a Real Christian Singles Membership Includes

Real Christian Singles provides free online personals services, including:

  • Several ways to communicate with other Christian singles, such as a chat room, email, forums and instant messengering services;
  • A free Christian dating site without popups (although there are unobtrusive ads that run along the sides of each page);
  • Photo galleries of other single Christian users;
  • The ability to add any other member to your personal favorites list and see who has perused your profile;
  • A Bible search tool;
  • An online arcade of classic video games;
  • An online Christian dating bookstore.

A search for singles in my area (Canada - West was as specific as I could go) only netted 60 matches of the opposite sex in all age categories. As well, because the site uses a very large area with which to draw upon, there was no way to tell if any of my matches lived close by or in another province. Finally, not one of my listed matches had a visible picture, which is highly unusual.

Unique Features of Real Christian Singles

Real Christian Singles prohibits married people or convicted criminals from using their free dating site. Their disclaimer reads that, if convicted, they could face fines of up to $250,000 and up to five years in jail per offense. They also state, "Real Christian Singles reserves the right to report violators to appropriate law enforcement authorities and seek prosecution or civil redress to the fullest extent of the law." However, this disclaimer only shows up on their "About" page; a user would have to go searching for it in order to find out this information.

For the most part, Real Christian Singles offers the standard free dating site fare with few other tweaks, bells or whistles. Their signup process is relatively quick (although there is no way to answer the initial 40+ profile questions at a later date), and some of the questions posed are unique to the Christian community (i.e. specific religious denomination, church involvement and favorite Bible passages). Still, there isn't much at Real Christian Singles that can't be found at other free Christian dating sites just as easily.

Real Christian Singles Membership Costs

There are no costs associated with using Real Christian Singles. It is a totally free Christian dating site.

Love this site!, Member golferman1

This site has the best forum for Christian singles that I've found. I probably spend way too much time there but I've made a lot of friends. I also like the user home page because there's a lot I can do with my profile. The only negative was that it took a while to be approved but that's because they're trying to keep spammers and such out. Some other reviewer complained about having their registration rejected but the site is just being careful and they say that they aren't perfect but are cautious about who is approved. Oh yeah, and it's free. Like I said, great forum!
