ChristianFreeAndSingle is a dedicated faith-based dating site for UK Christians to meet like-minded partners, and hopefully, let love blossom! Let's take a closer look at how the site works, and if it is the best option for guys and girls looking to meet their soulmate.
At first glance, the website is well laid out, has a clean and fresh interface and doesn't bombard you with pop up ads - so far so good! I like the imagery used; some faith-based sites tend to use squirmingly sickly images that are an instant turn off, so ChristianFreeAndSingle have got this spot-on, particularly for the younger crowd. The site allows you to run location searches, making it quick and easy to find people to chat with nearby and uses a compatibility algorithm to try and make meaningful recommendations. Unfortunately, there isn't a mobile app, but the website is mobile optimised and worked perfectly on my smartphone. It feels nice and private with no public access to any information on the site. There are around 33 million Christians in the UK, so there's a high chance of finding some eligible singles here that match what you're looking for!
ChristianFreeAndSingle is a fun, straightforward dating site suitable for Christian guys and girls of all ages. The site has a diverse community and is very friendly, so you won't be waiting long for someone to make contact!
“Faith-based dating has entered the 21st century! Fun, intuitive and fast online dating for Christian singles looking for romance.”
Signing up is very easy indeed; simply enter your first name, date of birth and email address - and voila! You can choose to enter a profile photo and add some more details, but this isn't mandatory so you can pop back later. There are a series of questions you can choose to answer about your favourite food, what you do for fun and other general interest questions, so it's all very straightforward and feels comfortable (rather than those high-pressure personality quizzes that always break me out in a cold sweat!).
As soon as you've confirmed your email address you can start chatting with other members. There is a nifty 'diary post' section, which shows you the newest members who have signed up and when somebody has added a new photo if you'd like to take a peek!
The search section contains everything you'll need; you can filter by different faiths, search by area, and set age parameters. Interestingly, the maximum age goes up to 120, so this isn't a site that discriminates by age, and it's great to see a few mature singles on the platform looking for a partner. As a new user, you have access to send a free message or two, but there is a premium subscription upgrade to get full functionality from the site.
I ran a few searches and was pleasantly surprised by how many members were here. Given that I live in a small East Sussex town, seeing ten guys in my nearby area, and within the age limits I set (30-40) was a lot more than expected. No sign of fake profiles, no pushy messages urging me to upgrade to a premium membership, good quality images and information - in terms of ease of use, ChristianFreeAndSingle ticks all the boxes.
I liked ChristianFreeAndSingle; probably because of the two messages I'd received in half an hour of joining (who doesn't love a confidence boost!). However, it's more than that - it feels refreshing to find a faith-based site that doesn't bombard singletons who are looking for love and romance with hundreds of images of couples. The images it does use are accessible and friendly, so it's a low-pressure atmosphere.
Very often dating sites are so generic it's hard to take any of it seriously, and it's been a long time since I've seen a home page where every individual profile looks authentic and contains real information, about authentic people.
Given that the site is all about Christian dating, you're not going to find explicit images or hook-up dating. While there are some pop-ups, they are infrequent and gentle nudges, rather than feeling that you're going to be alone forever unless you click on the 'Buy Now' button as a matter of urgency. In terms of making the most out of the site features, there are limitations to the free membership. That means you are very likely going to need to upgrade to a premium account to make the most out of the functionality.
An upgrade gives you added perks such as:
What works well is that the search is free, which means you have the opportunity to browse the site and see how many members are nearby, before having to commit to a paid subscription and then finding out that there aren't any eligible singles in your local area.
As a new member, you get a free message too, so if you're uncertain it's well worth registering, skipping the questions and taking a browse. If you like what you see, and find the interface as simple and streamlined as I did, there's no reason not to sign up and see where the dating adventure takes you!
If you ever decide to delete your account, you can do so at any time, no questions asked, through the account page on the website; how refreshing!
