5 Dating Tips ALL Christian Millennials Need to Know

If you know what I know sis dating is not for the faint of heart. When I was on the dating scene before I married my best friend, I’ve encountered several types of men: the dreamer, the womanizer, the pretend church boy, and the mama's baby. With each type, I’ve learned so much about myself. It taught me to own up to the decisions I’ve made, and take accountability for the part that I played in the failed relationships. Here are some quick dating tips I have learned throughout years of dating.

Tip #1: Do not be afraid to communicate what your long-term goals are upfront.

This will save you from a lot of wasted time and heartbreak. Ladies, we are the “Good Thing” and should never just go with the flow. Let your goals and expectations be known upfront.

Tip #2 Your first date should not be at a restaurant.

Switch it up a bit and select a location where you can actually talk with limited distractions. First date should be pretty simple; use this time to talk and get to know each other. You can take it up a notch on the 2nd date.

First Date Ideas:

Park & Picnic
Go on a Morning Hike
Visit an Art Gallery
Take a Ferry Ride
Take a Dance Class
Coffee & Conversations

Tip #3 Consider online dating as an option.

Don’t be shy, many people have met their husbands on dating sites. As with anything, pray for discernment. When meeting new people, you don’t know what their intentions are, and it makes it a little harder with online dating, but it can be done.
