A Christian Guy's experience on Dating apps... Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge

- Should Christians be on Dating Apps? My Experiences with Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge. I know, it's sort of taboo even in 2020 to talk about Christians being on dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge. With the events of our world today, it's becoming increasingly hard to meet fellow Christians to potentially date and one day marry! This is my experience as a Christian guy trying out online dating and using these dating apps!
First, I would like to stress that there is nothing inherently sinful about being on dating apps, just like being in the market to date in person is not inherently sinful. Both methods of meeting people have similar opportunities for sin however, each with their own pros and cons.
For example, in both cases, it is easy to fall into the sin of lust. In person it’s far more difficult to stare and fantasize without being noticed, but on a phone app, you’re being fed picture after picture of potentially provocative women or men, which can be a trigger to some of us, and should be avoided at all costs.
Another thing that is not exclusive to online or in-person dating is idolizing a person or relationship. Often times on dating apps or meeting people in person it would be very easy for me to slowly start to prioritize finding a relationship over my work, and more importantly, over meeting with God. Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. That includes idolizing finding a spouse. Ask yourself if you are disciplined enough and mature enough in your faith to dedicate yourself to God more than whomever you meet.
Finally, are you dating for a purpose? Do you have any sort of prospects of supporting yourself and a family in the foreseeable future? Are you working? In college? Do you have some semblance of a plan? If not, I recommend forming one before trying any kind of dating. As Christians, dating for fun shouldn’t even be a consideration. Every romantic relationship that we start ought to be with an eye towards marriage sometime down the road. Otherwise we are putting ourselves in the way of temptation for no reason. If you can’t see yourself spending the rest of your life with a person, just be friends. If the only reason you can stand to be with the person is because they’re incredibly good looking, probably don’t pursue that relationship, I’m assuming the reason you hang out with your friends is not based on sexual attraction, if it is, you probably really need help.

Staying pure till marriage
Lol
That's key for I'm virgin not by choice
Same....Stock, for one reason or another, can't help but put a negative spin on what God has deemed positive.
Isaiah 5:20 - Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Can all the singles just meet here & make connections & say that we met on RUclips 😁🤣
That would be soooo nice!!!
Girl, I am thinking of that too! People here all seem to be on the same page 🧐
Yes! Absolutely lol 😂
Hahaha.. was thinking about that.. here..😄
I agree with you sis, let us just find each other on here lol
Yes lol
It's hard to meet christian people 🙂 even in church
Darn right lol. If you ask someone out at Church, people will think that’s the only reason you came 😂 we should encourage Christians to (respectfully) try to meet someone!
@@boldfaithproductions sometimes i feel that is the reason i go to church so i just don't go much
It is most of the people in my church are old enough to be my grandparents
@@JBat the same....
@@saricortez Not only that so many people claim to be Christian but are not born again and desire to live for God.
Your experience with all three apps are similar to mine. 😂 I've chatted to lots of "Christians". The biggest difficulty is finding someone who's really Christian and follows the Lord.
all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD and we all deserve eternal condemnation in hell, for the wages of sin is death. the reason for this is that GOD is perfectly just and righteous and because the LORD is perfect, one sin leads to death, but through faith and sacrifice (since there can be no forgiveness of sins without the shedding of blood), and the LORD JESUS CHRIST laid down HIS Life for us, by the FATHER’s grace, men can be saved.
so because the LORD is perfect and HE so loved the world and hates the death of any man, the LORD came into the world in the likeness of man, made manifest in the flesh, and HE came not to be served, but to serve, and to give HIS Life a Ransom for many. the LORD shared in the struggles and life of humanity (making what HE did even greater since HE became poor so we may become rich through HIS poverty and HE temporarily gave up HIS glory in Heaven to give HIS Life as a Ransom for many). the LORD went on that cross after being beaten and struck and mocked, HE was insulted and provoked and humiliated and even through that all, the LORD said, “FATHER, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” and the LORD JESUS CHRIST shed HIS Blood, released HIS SPIRIT, and bodily died so that we may be eternally forgiven.
when the LORD rose 3 days later, a new covenant was established where we are not justified by the law, since the law brings death, but we are justified, cleansed, sanctified, and saved by the grace (unmerited love and favor) of GOD through faith in HIM alone, and not by any of our works. the righteousness of the LORD JESUS CHRIST on the earth (HIS perfect, sinless fulfillment of the law) is accredited to all who are born again (the children of the LORD GOD Almighty) as righteousness on us through our faith and by GOD’s grace.
only JESUS CHRIST saves. please turn away from all of your sins and live all to the glory of the only true and living GOD, YAHWEH, and praise the LORD GOD, the One Who gave all of us life and laid down HIS very own precious Life for us all so that we may be saved by HIS grace through faith in HIM alone.
Most Christians are not really Christians
They just want to have fun lol
@@JESUSistheTRUTH-ROBLOXDO INSULT THE ONE ABOVE ALL hes not yaweh.
As a Christ driven young woman, it's really hard to find a good christian guy on dating apps. The Gen Z dating method's can be really tricky for young Christians who are dating to marry and adamant about remaining pure. Regardless I'm still hopeful.
Good luck and God bless you guys. 😇💕
forget dating sites...its all lust
@@sannamati4571 What do you suggest instead? I live in a very liberal city and am afraid I won't find a nice man.
I really want to find a Godly woman. I just probably need to focus on my time with God, and just forget about it.
@@lampiri7432 Pray?
@@lampiri7432 searching and praying at the same time😊
Being on fire for Jesus has made that desire of marriage go down inside me, yes I want a husband eventually it will happen hopefully! Just really wanna be married but want Jesus more!
That’s definitely the way to be!! It’s a gift to not obsess over marriage, it allows for more time with Christ!! 😃
So happy for you! I want the desire of marriage to go down for me as well. You're on the right path.
As a Christian woman (28) I’m not doing dating apps anymore, Boaz can find me at Target, HomeGoods, Trader Joe’s or a coffee shop. Sorry but as a grown woman, I’m over the boy games.
If that’s the way God is leading you, then go for it Sis 😂. The truth is, that if God wants you to meet someone, I believe He’ll make it happen, for the most part no matter the method!!
Got it 🙂
I’m 28 as well, & I know for sure I don’t get out enough to meet anyone 😩 so dating apps it is for me
Thank You I always found it creepy and unsaved I was about to give it a try I am a woman around your age so I get you.
@@aprylaevans I feel you but go out to various events and there's tons of good people who will love to know you etc. How are you? I like your youtube banner, you have a great smile by the way! 😊
A lot of guys laugh at me for being abstinent. 7 months strong👏🏽praise God
Glory to God!! I pray for strength for you!! 🙏🏻
Let them laugh...they don’t deserve you. Your husband will appreciate you for that.
@@of6024 Well said love from the UK ❤ 🙏 👍
Good for you! I’m going on 2 years, celibacy is honestly the best way to go at this point. It has cleared my head so much.
Hey it's hard, I've never had sex before. It's hard, it feels like I'm being left out somehow. It's kind of frustrating. I kind of screwed up my first relationship, and I felt bad about it... I know God has something for me, I just don't know what. I want someone, who is my soulmate who can understand me. I know Jesus is all I need. And I'm pursuing Him now, and I'm starting to feel better and better.
It's tough, I've tried real life and dating apps and whatever I do it feels like I'm trying to shove a square in a circle shaped hole. It's clear to me God is saying it's not my time, but I can't seem to get rid of the empty feeling. I'd love to say I can just shift my focus on God but being surrounded by happy marriages left and right, I'm constantly reminded of what I don't have.
I know exactly what you're feeling! I pray God brings you what you're looking for soon, and that He strengthens you in this time of waiting. Just don't miss what The Lord has for you in this time of waiting! God bless!
That's exactly how I feel.
Same here brother
Just goes to show you we live in a fallen world. It doesn't matter if you meet someone in person or on a dating app, I say this because people wanna say one is better than the other and that's just not true, there's flaws in both approach. Just continue to trust in the Lord, put him first, and pray for that Godly spouse your heart desires.
This was refreshing to hear from a mans perspective. Men like you are 1/100000000. Many blessings to you🙏
Thanks Marina!! That means a lot to me 😃 God bless you too!
@Marinaaa Lovee he's not 1/100000000, there are a lot more men like him 🙏
He has a dim view on dating and should be looking at what being on a date is really about. I don’t agree with him on most points and I have a better outlook on reality.
@@steelsurfer6515 what is your view?
celibacy is good:)
Thank you for sharing your insight! As a Christian single woman that has never tried dating apps (but seriously considering them), I can say that it helped me think about important issues that we face as Christians and that I need to consider before signing up on any app.
My pleasure!! Glad I could help! 😁
Thanks for the bud brother! God bless.
Of course! I appreciate ya! God bless you too!
I was on Hinge for over three years and just deleted it. It was hard to delete as I was getting matches almost weekly with women, some very attractive and Christian gals. I did go on several dates. However, things fizzle so quickly on there. I felt like I had a good connection with several women on it and even went on dates but suddenly she would just stop responding to me or just lose interest very quickly. I know that is just how dating is in general to an extent, but I think Hinge profiles really create an idealistic version of a person that is not actually who they are, and the other person can often feel let down when they get to know who you really are in person. People also have a toxic abundance mindset and always think they can do better than you. It really killed my self-confidence so I am going to try to just date the old-fashioned way and trust God with my dating life.
Very helpful and informative content. Thank you and God's blessings to you!
And God’s blessing to you too Allison!! Thanks for the encouragement 😃
Thank you so much for this video 🥰 praying for my future husband 🙏
No problem Sophie!! Glad it could be beneficial! I pray that God brings you a wonderful, Godly husband!
@@boldfaithproductions Amen! Do you have an IG account to stay updated?
I sure do!! I’m NotThatSamJackson on IG!
Wow! Level headed and humble. Stay strong my brother.
The sound effects and add-ons are hilarious! But oh so true.
Glad you appreciated them Jennifer! God bless! 😁
Bro I like your channel and good comparison on the dating apps. God bless you brother 💯 and God bless everyone in the comment section
Thanks man!! God bless you too! 😃
Yesss!!!! I was hoping you would make this video =)
I 100% agree that Bumble is a dumpster fire. I tried it last year and all I got was nothing. All the guys who said they were Christians did not even talk about thier faith. I tried the networking version and guys who were on there looking to network were actually looking for more than professional connections. =/ So I let it go!!!
I never tried Hinge or Tinder.. For me I believe it's best to meet someone off the dating apps. Dating apps aren't worth the frustration they cause. I'm glad they are the place for some people to meet thier spouse. ♡ They're definitely worth trying though... So many interesting people and you just never know...
Hi Laura! I totally understand what you’re saying here lol. I know that people find their spouse on dating apps, but I think with all the situations I’ve gotten myself into with them that God is likely telling me that they aren’t for me haha
I will pursue God with all my heart... Along the way I will meet the right man
Thank you for this video 🙏🏾
Wow, I am seriously impressed by your willpower to seek God throughout all of the circumstances. I have been recently struggling big time on dating apps trying to find a godly man who is willing to wait till marriage. This advice helped a lot. Thank you!
Glad you liked it Madison!! I’m definitely NOT perfect, and even though I seem strong willed, I mess up all the time! I hope God brings you the man you’re looking for! God bless!
Exactly, it takes alot of discipline to stay focus. I will say continue to stand firm in your beliefs, be exactly who you are and you don't need to change for nobody. Keep going eventually God will give you a Godly man to marry. How are you?
@@boldfaithproductions for real bro I'm far from perfect as well but we have to keep trying. We may slip up here and there but God always has our backs. He's a loving father. I'm so glad to find your channel! 😊
@@grezzer1427 Amen!! I’m glad you like the channel 😁
It's refreshing to hear there are woman like you on dating apps, but I can't seem to find one.
Ive had the same experinces that u had to go thru! I had been on about almost dating app that i had and none had worked. Ive been goshted before like u mentioned. Ive went thru a lot. I decided few months ago from a bad experience that dating apps arent for me. Taking the steps u took. Stop and focus more about yourself and build a better relationship with God. I 100% understand what its like to go thru with each app!
Amen Nicki!! Dating apps are a serious pain lol. Of course, dating in general seems to be that way these days. I pray that God brings you the one you’re looking for soon, and that you don’t miss what God has for you in the waiting! God bless! 😃

Thank you for the video
I am trusting God has plans for me in the future relationship
Thanks. This was very helpful!!
Thanks for the review! I'm sure you'll meet a good Christian girl, if you haven't already. You seem like a very kind and genuine guy who is trying to follow Christ. Wish there were more guys like you in their 30s, haha. All the best!
No problem!! I actually have met one pretty recently! I appreciate the kind words so much 😃 you never know when God will put the right person in your life, so don’t get too low! God bless you! 😁
My son wishes there was a nice girl 29 to about 35 but nothing doing. He told me he wants someone loyal.
I think it's best to put God first in this final generation of course but it's hard when a person is alone and has no one to come home to after work.
I am a college student who loves the Lord and has never dated before. I am choosing not to install dating apps to look for anyone because I believe that God has “the one” for me and will present her in His timing.
That sounds like a great idea to me! I don’t believe we can go wrong when we’re doing our best to follow after God’s plan for our lives! If The Holy Spirit is leading you to sit back and let God take this one, then you’re very wise to listen!
Thank you so much for sharing!🥳
It’s my pleasure!! Thank you so much for watching!
@@boldfaithproductions I tried so many dating sites, but was disappointed and highly distracted. I have been truly blessed by your testimony. Thanks for teaching me to wait on the Lord. May blessings overflow to you, in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Lol... This was a very accurate review, I think that Tinder was also my most "Successful" dating app, I do like that Hinge allows you to only see Christians as a feature. Praying the Lord leads you and encourages you as you seek His face.
Thanks for the prayers Ashley!! 😁 With more and more apps putting things behind paywalls, Hinge is a must!
@@mikebarnhill3604 lol... no I don't, but I do appreciate the effort here in the comments of someone's RUclips channel, that's next level #effort ... You could check my IG out ac_fitness169... or my RUclips 🤷♀️

Thank you for sharing and be encouraged yourself, Tried dating apps a few years back but had the same issue. And the app developers can play into secular living which doesn’t help(a lot of the main apps). I feel ya, especially now with COVID but God is good and eventually we will meet the right people. I believe this is why it is important to stay close to God and in communion with others... God bless!😊 Any other advice?
I've been searching for online dating sites and apps for the past few months, but it's really hard to find someone who has the same faith. So I decided to trust God to write my love story. Thank you for the video.
May God bless you more. ❤️
Thanks girl!! God bless you too! 😁

I met my husband on Christian mingle after sorting through many false Christian’s. Ironically, I didn’t even like him or want to marry him when I met him. Eventually, though, we ended up courting and we didn’t have sex while we courted for over 11 years of dating. We finally got married two years ago. :)
Thanks for sharing this information so helpful indeed. Just trust in the lord, u shall get a Christian lady

This was really helpful. Thank you! It's great to hear a Christian guy's perspective. I liked the verse you read from Exodus. That's a great reminder. In terms of messages, what sort of messages would you say are received well? I'm a Christian woman on a Christian app in Australia and am wondering what tips you might have for the initial message?
It’s probably wayyyy easier with guys lol, but just something really honest. For me, I always really appreciated girls that didn’t play a bunch of games. Just try to send a message that the right guy would love to receive. I.e. how’s your relationship with Jesus? I would LOVE to receive that message on a dating app, but for a lot of guys they realize you’re serious about your faith and they run for the hills. Think of it as a way to weed out all the fake Christians.
@@boldfaithproductions thanks heaps for your reply! Oh wow that's a good one 😀 that would definitely weed out the fake Christians! I want the real deal only! Thanks for your advice. Have a good week ✌️

It has been terrible for me now that I choose to be a celibate Bible reading Christian. Before that it was a buffet. After months of disappointment and even one heartbreak.

Christian cafe is good when it comes to identifying a person's beliefs. Never did the bumble, hinge etc
If he’s not Christian then am not down cos I need that one who respect God and also believe in him 🙏
Your such a nice and wonderful man, god bless you🙏❤️
Thanks Cheryl!! That means a lot to me 😃 God bless you too!
Thank you for sharing, I can relate to a lot of what you have shared being on dating apps and appreciate the exodus verse. I have also decided to stop online dating, I came across your video having thoughts on trying Christian dating apps to see if there was any difference to the result. So far there is no difference, officially choosing to stay clear of them by hearing other Christians experiences. Your words spoken on building a closer relationship with god , our lord and savior Jesus is what I will be doing as well, while keeping prayer and seeking his guidance by reading his word. In some way god had me watch your video to have more faith in him, that there are good Christian men seeking god and with a good heart. I will pray for you and all of us to seek him more and wait on him. Because god always works in mysterious ways, God Bless you and thank you. Jenny 🙂
Hi Jenny!!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this message :). Just be open to whatever God is leading you to do!! If you feel like God is steering you clear of dating apps for the time being, then definitely I would listen. It took a lot of me beating my head against the wall to where I was willing to take a long break from them. Remember that God’s timing is perfect!
Thanks so much for writing!! I’ll say a prayer that you find what you’re looking for! 😁
God bless you!
Hey ! Thanks for actually responding back it was a surprise . I greatly would appreciate the prayer , it’s rough out here in Chicago😁, but I’m keeping the faith. Just want it to happen naturally, by deleting my other social platforms , yet still having a Facebook, I’m just never on it anymore. Feel as though it’s a privilege to be able to share your life with others, instead having the whole world see for free with no genuine work to get to know someone, just with pictures and sometimes weird videos😁. Anyways I’m rambling now, just wanted to say thank you for responding and the prayer. It is nice seeing a guy that can make a convo with more then 2sentences . Have a great day , wherever you are . 🙂👋. Jenny
Thanks for sharing this video. I am praying for my Gos fearing husband ❤️
I’m so glad you liked it!! I pray that God sends him too!
Thank you for the message,,l actually joined lots of them but the most annoying thing you chat with them like today in few minutes thy ask for your number and you reach a time start think that what you doing isn't right as in to be on the online dating 😂 the other side you hear something telling you God helps those who help themselves.... Brethren thanks 🙏
Can relate to this 😂 and I'm glad about that. Right now I'm using bottled app but I'm not finding someone to date with. I just want to make friends to some far places but the thing is I really find it difficult because I've noticed that idk based on experience most of the people there are atheist and I put in my bio that I am a Christian of course I shouldn't deny it, it's an honor. The thing is we end up not liking each other or having a lil argument about the Bible and my belief and their beliefs. Lol.
Sometimes those discussions are really good though! You never know what kind of seeds you plant and going that in depth in a discussion can even strengthen your own faith!
I’ve been considering dating, but the days we are in now. I’m wondering if it’s even worth it. I’m not to sure if I’m gonna find a woman who is willing to wait until marriage. They way the enemy has it set up Society has it to where you go on three dates and then the bedroom happens. I’m not looking to date for a few years then get engaged for another years... that’s not how it should be. I truly believe we are in the end of days, the signs are all around us and it not like what people have been saying legit compare what going on now to what is said about the end of days. I waiting for a woman for 7 years and she wasn’t a believer and we only last 2 years, she wanted kids, but I don’t. So I guess I’m Concerned about the time we have left which is not long at all maybe, maybe two years lord willing (not gonna be a easy 2years though).
Hey Brandon! I’m sorry that it sounds like things have been kinda tough for you in the dating scene. Up until about 4 or 5 months ago I felt the exact same way that you did. Truthfully though with the way the world is right now, if you can handle it, being single might be the best for His Kingdom! Whatever the case, stay on the lookout for God’s will, He may very well have someone for you even though right now it feels hopeless. God bless! :)
Believe me, there are women waiting. I’m one of them...by choice. Don’t be discouraged. Now is definitely the time to be become solidified in our singleness with Christ if that’s where He has us for a season. God’s people are a remnant, so in my mind it’ll never come easy to find a spouse that goes against the culture, but God can always provide the way. Blessings to you!
I really admire
I feel you. It's hard as a Christian even finding another Christian who genuinely is serious about their faith. I recently went on a date with one who thought it was weird that I wanted to wait until marriage... It might be weird to the world but it shouldn't be for another Christian. Anyway, safe to say that didn't go far. Praying God shows up with the right one at the right time, sooner rather than later🙏🏾
We're definitely living in the end times but I'm not giving up hope. The word says we should "commit to the Lord whatever we do and He will establish our plans". Hoping you persevere in these times and continue to believe you'll find your wife.
❤❤❤
I'm so lucky to have met men on Bumble who really loves Jesus. The sad part is that there's never a spark when we meet. You really need to be honest with your standards/desires and communicate that right away.
This is so interesting!! Online dating can be really toxic for our view of other people and ourselves. I for some reason had more success on bumble than hinge. Maybe because I’m one of the few girls that will write a real first message and carry a conversation. With hinge I just had so little luck. I would have a few likes each day but most guys I would swipe right on wouldn’t match with me. So I found it pretty disheartening and I ended up deleting it. Some people probably have thicker skin and can handle it. Tinder doesn’t reflect my values in dating so my guess is that it’s not for me. I’m praying that I will find a husband through church or another live setting. 🙏🏻
It's surprising to hear these views from a guy. It's so good to hear believer's perspective. And so on point. There are less of practicing Jews, Christians n Muslims... Your kind of guys are rare. ✌️👍
Definitely! Let me just say that what separates a relationship with Christ from Jews and Muslims is that rather than relying on ourselves to do enough to get to heaven by pleasing a god, Jesus instead came down to us and suffered a painful death just so that we would never be separated from Him! We have to trust and surrender our lives to Him and He pays our everlasting debt! That love of Christ is the reason I have the views I have. How can I not love when I have been loved SO SO MUCH! God bless! 😃
Wow...this made me remember a bad christian dating app experience of my own. Thanks for another interesting video!
My pleasure! I’ve certainly had plenty of those haha 😆
Hi gigi
im done with dating app.. no hope in that area (dating app) whatever will be, will be.. God leads. God bless, God bless us all #blessedSinglenesssssss
If you feel The Lord pulling you in that direction then definitely trust that it’s His plan!! God bless you too!
LOLOLOLOL! The conversation led to mowing grass ??? I've heard it all now haha. Thank you Sam so much for making this video about Christianity and dating apps. I know I've gone through a lot of stress and conviction when I used to use dating apps a couple years back. Phew! btw. I found you from the TrueChristian Community on Reddit!
Hahaha I’m glad at least somebody gets some amusement out of my dating misadventures 😂. I’m super glad to have your support! I love that subreddit, it’s honestly one of 2 maybe 3 legit subreddits that actually are run Biblically! God bless!! :)
@@boldfaithproductions Agreed, I love it too and enjoy being apart of the community 😊 Thank you Sam, God Bless you too and keep up the amazing work! 🙏🏾✨
Thanks!! I’ll try my best!
For those that are abstinent-how/when do you disclose that via dating apps before it gets too far?
You should definitely disclose it pretty early on. You can learn A LOT about a person depending on how they respond to you telling them that you’re waiting. Unfortunately, many of the girls you’ll talk to will likely lose interest, but that’s a sure fire way to weed out the girls that aren’t for you, and you’ll save yourself a lot of time!
Write in bio! Itll weed out the ones looking for hookups.
I don't really trust dating sites/apps. You might fall into temptation and not really sure if that guy was serious or no. Lol! But at some point, I'm still curious about those dating sites if it really works or no.
It definitely can work! It’s scary though, and you will likely run into A LOT of lackluster people before you bump into anyone worth while. God bless! 😃
Agree with you on every point you made! It really resonated a lot with me and I'm sure other people need to hear this as well.
I feel us Christians need to see our season of singleness as an amazing time to go deeper in our walk with Christ and truly devote all our time to him, before he blesses us with our spouse.
Personally, I'm not at the place to be dating right now, and the Lord has been reminding me that while it is good to pray for my future husband and think of him with a kingdom mindset, my main focus should always be Jesus. I admit, I've been guilty of unintentionally idolizing my future spouse. But since God chastened me, I've been devoting more time to him and have been feeling closer to him in general. :)
The biggest thing I think we need to remember is that if we follow Jesus, he'll give us our spouse in his perfect timing. So there's no need to worry about when, where or who we'll marry. God's got this. We just need to trust him. He'll let us know when we need to pursue someone.
Thanks for the opportunity for reflection and discussion! 😄 Keep speaking the truth!
Hi Adriana!
I go so back and forth honestly on whether I’m in a place where I should be considering dating as well lol. I know I’m never going to be perfect by any means, but I guess I just feel like I have a really long way to go in a lot of ways. I just need to trust God’s timing.
As far as a season of singleness being a good thing, it’s definitely true! (Though it’s far easier said than done to be grateful for it!). Very well said! God bless you! Thanks for sharing!!
@@boldfaithproductions you got that right! It's definitely easier said than done, haha. God bless you too and I'll be praying for ya!
@@AdrianaBarron1 Thanks! I'll pray for you too!
Y'all be speaking to my heart,you put exactly what I'm going through into words.
At 27 I feel confused about this
I don't want to worry about future spouse but this human heart😩
Anyway, thanks for the vid and totally putting you in my prayers
For some of us, it's not a season, it's a way of life. God makes people who they are and not everyone will be given unto marriage. After much protest, I've accepted God's plan for me. Now I am at peace.
Good stuff ... keep it up
Thanks!! I’ll do my best! 😃
Must be a google thing, i saw a Christian mingle site commercial, and thought why not check out it's reviews. Didn't see one of them that wasn't full of bad reviews, now your video showed up in my feed. Can't be a coincidence lol. I had to check out your video and im surprised, it don't suck. Tried tender a few years ago, didn't meet one woman that I'd call Christian lol. Anyway, just wanted to say i didn't hate the video, it was good. God bless!!!
Haha thanks Mike!! This is probably one of my favorite complements I’ve ever received 😆 I got a chuckle out of it, and I’m glad you don’t think my videos suck! God bless you too man! Hope God sends you what you’re searching for! 😃
I feel like I meet more decent men on bumble...they seem more intentional, vs. Tinder which is the only dating app where I have had men send me pictures I did not ask for or want :/
I think Bumble is way better probably for women. Of course most dating apps are pretty bad for guys lol. Sorry you had such a terrible experience :(
@@boldfaithproductions It is perfectly okay! I learned from it, and am now very good at looking at a profile and seeing if someone genuinely wants to have a connection. You may be right about Bumble being easier for women, I have never seen the other side of it :)
I might have to make a video about dating for the guys since I’ve already made a video for women! I pray that God brings you a Godly husband soon!!
Liked and subscribed.👍
Thanks so much for the support!! I appreciate you! 😃
Please explain much and clearly about Bumble
Very interesting 😄
Oh my gosh your shirt says “North Florida”!
I am from there. Maybe i can help connect you with a woman from my small group. Lol
I had a bad experience on Bumble! I saw a red flag but, I was blind, drinking smoking at the beginning, later find out porno! God was good to me took out of that relationship. Now I am so scared to dating again!!!
ahhh I made a bumble purely out of curiosity and it was rough lol I also created a video on my channel abt my thoughts bc not a lot of christians review these app and yea people like Nate and Sutton found each other on tinder!
I've never had the issues you discuss about temptation because I don't get any matches on dating apps to begin with haha. Maybe it is a way of being protected by not being good looking lol
Thank you . Very much
You’re very welcome!! 😃
I'm 22 and tried it. It's a pass, all I can do is pray for a Godly man & to hopefully meet someone at Church. Everytime a guy said I love you after chatting for a day. It's a NO 😂
Oh my goodness 😂😂 that would definitely be a no haha. As long as we’re open to whatever God is leading us to do, I think we’ll be fine!
I've been trying it and it's been a waste of time and money so far. I just want to meet a Godly woman.
Update: gave Bumble a chance. Going to meet a guy on Friday! He says he's a Christian but I'll dig more into it when I meet him. I have no expectations, have my guard up for sure & praying for my safety. After this I'll delete all of the dating apps.
@@ruleaus7664 here I am

Great video!
Thanks Shelia!! I appreciate the support!!
@@boldfaithproductions Anytime!
I'm 25 and I've followed the rule of not dating unless you're open to marriage. Now I feel ready to make myself available for dating (I'm not in a rush however). Now, here is the problem: I meet cute, interesting girls I'd like to know better and I feel so inexperienced, so unable to give her a good dating experience with me. I feel confortable arround girls as friends, but when it comes to take it romantic I fail shamefully. Advice? Experiences?
Omg dude I am the same. I just never give girls around my work the time of day because I know they are only after one thing. So the only solution Ive thought of is to go church hopping when the time is right and try to find someone that way.
Every time I went Christian concert I always have the thought of "there's a lot of women and men of God why would I rush or force it" Godbless you men of God 😊🤝
@@Dragontron20 Church hopping?
Hi
Thank you!!
Thank you for supporting! 😃
I was kicked off of Hinge for violating their terms of service, but I don’t exactly know how.
Dude I watch both of Nate and Sutton & Paul and Morgan channels all the time man. Showed me dating apps for Christians can work but not for me lol 😅
Haha they can definitely be... hit or miss 😆 I hope God blesses you with what you’re looking for!! 😃
@@boldfaithproductions Aww thanks man! And God bless you the same! By the way another Christian relationship channel I would recommend is Sammy and Spencer Robbins if you don't already watch it 😉 or Apply God's Word channel with Mark Ballenger! I watch them all the time and receive so much revelation and wisdom from both.
@@leslieskelton2504 thanks Leslie! I’ll have to check them out! I’ve at least seen the latter one you talked about. 😃

I hear you man 😂 keep on being patient though, God has a plan!! Love your profile pic btw 🔥
@@boldfaithproductions amen bro and thank you 😃
Are these dating sites available in Uganda????
Awesome!
Thanks Grace!! 😃
The real question though, are you meeting these girls in real life? Are you taking them on dates? The phone is for setting dates, not texting/blabbering back and forth, that ruins mystery/suspense. I’m just curious as to what you mean by having “success”? Having a bunch of matches but barely having any dates is not success.
Too be honest it’s best to find a partner in your church. But if you’re church is still small, it can be an issue.
The book "The Dating App Confessions" by Logan Tindell has good advice...and is pretty funny.
all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD and we all deserve eternal condemnation in hell, for the wages of sin is death. the reason for this is that GOD is perfectly just and righteous and because the LORD is perfect, one sin leads to death, but through faith and sacrifice (since there can be no forgiveness of sins without the shedding of blood), and the LORD JESUS CHRIST laid down HIS Life for us, by the FATHER’s grace, men can be saved.
so because the LORD is perfect and HE so loved the world and hates the death of any man, the LORD came into the world in the likeness of man, made manifest in the flesh, and HE came not to be served, but to serve, and to give HIS Life a Ransom for many. the LORD shared in the struggles and life of humanity (making what HE did even greater since HE became poor so we may become rich through HIS poverty and HE temporarily gave up HIS glory in Heaven to give HIS Life as a Ransom for many). the LORD went on that cross after being beaten and struck and mocked, HE was insulted and provoked and humiliated and even through that all, the LORD said, “FATHER, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” and the LORD JESUS CHRIST shed HIS Blood, released HIS SPIRIT, and bodily died so that we may be eternally forgiven.
when the LORD rose 3 days later, a new covenant was established where we are not justified by the law, since the law brings death, but we are justified, cleansed, sanctified, and saved by the grace (unmerited love and favor) of GOD through faith in HIM alone, and not by any of our works. the righteousness of the LORD JESUS CHRIST on the earth (HIS perfect, sinless fulfillment of the law) is accredited to all who are born again (the children of the LORD GOD Almighty) as righteousness on us through our faith and by GOD’s grace.
only JESUS CHRIST saves. please turn away from all of your sins and live all to the glory of the only true and living GOD, YAHWEH, and praise the LORD GOD, the One Who gave all of us life and laid down HIS very own precious Life for us all so that we may be saved by HIS grace through faith in HIM alone.
When you use to use dating apps, did you state anything about being Christian on your profile?
Absolutely I did! That was always the very first thing I listed on my profile! Unfortunately it didn’t do much to keep away girls that weren’t really interested in a Christian lifestyle lol
@@boldfaithproductions Which free dating apps would you recommend for young Christian singles who struggle to find dates in person in their area? Just the ones said in the video or is there something else you'd recommend? I know of a few Christian couples who have met on tinder (including Paul & Morgan and Nate & Sutton) and stuff like that sometimes inspires me to create an account but there's also many people looking for hookups which i'm concerned about. People are always recommending that I try ChristianMingle (which I have experienced) but you have to pay to send a message.
@@boldfaithproductions I am currently experiencing something similar. I just don't get it. LOL
Never had any dating app, was never into it I guess. Have a colleague who only met guys on dating sites and none worked.
Thank you for the video. Im currently reading Michael Todd's relationship goals book and its really good. There is something that he calls "90 days".
In this 90 days you should know if you are ready to really be with this person or not.
So im going to download the app for 90 days after that I will decide to keep it or delete it.
I’m glad you liked it David!! That sounds like a really interesting book and app! I might check it out 😃
Michael Todd is a false teacher. Examine him and his falsehoods.
I tell you man, it seemed to be every profile that I viewed said the person was "spiritual" not Christian. I don't get any likes on bumble, its dead. Believe it or not okcupid has been most successful for me.
It definitely varies a lot with each person which app ends up being the best. Bumble was bad for me haha 😆. Just make sure that God is in it when you’re looking on those apps and you’ll be good!!
Good '' God is our Provider '' So we need to wait for God perfect time and Perfect Person For as' We need to seek and serve him first '' And he will give the best partner for you
Amen Alex!! It certainly can be really difficult! We definitely need to surrender everything to God. Sometimes I think God withholds a spouse from us because we need to learn to surrender it before it would be best for us.
Interesting. I have found the most success on Bumble. I found that when the girl messages you first, you at least know that they want to actually talk to you. Meanwhile hinge is ok, but the ghosting on that app is unreal.
Don’t mind me, I’m just waiting for Tuesday 😁
Haha I can’t wait for you to get to see it!! 😁. Think I might move it to Monday though!
@@boldfaithproductions ohhh yes please do!! It’s unfair to make us wait that long for a premiere 😭 you’re worse than One Direction 😂
Hahaha 😂
Man I’m on upward (have avoided all other dating apps) and it’s a ghost town! You swipe
For like 10 minutes and before you know if other swiping on people who live in Utah haha!
Hahah I’ve definitely had that experience on there 😂 I don’t know why more people aren’t on it
@@boldfaithproductions Upward has potential. Tinder has TONS of people the problem it feels like you’re trying to find a needle In the haystack.
True. And even usually the people that you find on tinder that say they’re Christians are so lukewarm in their faith that it’s not worth it. I wish upward was run a little bit better too.
I agree Upward is pretty slow. I dont get a lot of likes or matches there. And when I do and they send a message and I respond. They dont reapond back. Its crazy.
The struggle is real!
Yeah it is 😂
Im a Christian but I cant resist . Do we swipe in the shape of the cross ?
I’ve confidently given up 😊
Interesting. Not often you get a video made from this perspective.
Glad you find it interesting! What perspective are you used to hearing? For me I’m always hearing people talking about hookups, and just relationships from a really worldly angle. Is that what you’re talking about?
@@boldfaithproductions Yeah pretty much about men and women seeking hookups for the most part. I don't really see the christian perspective in a lot of topics that show up on my suggested videos but yours did.
@@jabbaweezy Gotcha, I try to come at everything that way. Anything else you might be interested to hear a Christian perspective on?
