Dating as a conservative Christian in today’s world feels like swimming upstream sometimes. Or… all the time really.
Between dating apps that seem to prioritize hookup culture and social circles that are increasingly secular, it’s becoming harder to find someone who shares our values and faith. How are other believers dealing with this?
Sometimes it feels like I’m really being tested here. I’m in my mid-twenties and have noticed that even in traditionally conservative areas, finding like-minded individuals our age is becoming rare. Most people I meet either don’t share my beliefs, are already married, or aren’t interested in a faith-based relationship. Where are all the Christians meeting each other?
I’ve tried church groups and Christian dating apps, but it feels like there’s got to be more options out there that I’m missing. The whole experience has left me wondering if I’m being too particular or if I need to expand my search beyond my local community.
