Review: ChristianCafe.com
ChristianCafe.com is a dating site that brings together Christians of all denominations in a safe and fun environment. This gives Christians who take their faith seriously a better chance to find a true and lasting relationship based on their common faith in God.
ChristianCafe.com has been around for a long time (since 1999), and a well-established Christian-run site that is well known in the online dating world. Like most other secular dating site counterparts, ChristianCafe.com features many options that allows members to connect with one another, including instant chat, message boards, and options to send emails to other members. Christian Cafe features a “Quickmatch” system that instantly scans your profile and matches it with other members whom you might be compatible with. This helps save a considerable amount of time browsing through other member profiles. The search feature is also very comprehensive, and you can search by age, region, or even the kind of relationship sought (Just curious, pen pals, casual dating, serious etc). ChristianCafe also has regular columns and articles on the topic of relationships and Christian dating.
The website is easy to navigate through the various users, and you will not have a problem finding someone that catches your eye. The profiles are easy to customize, so you can say what's on your mind to let other users know a little bit more about you.
In terms of atmosphere, members of ChristianCafe.com tend to be very cordial and friendly; hence the response rate is also high. Having been once of the first Christian dating sites to be established, most of the members are also truly devout in their faith and devoted to Christ. People here are generally honest and for the most part, who they say they are. Another great aspect of the site is that the male-female ratio is relatively balanced, compared to many other dating sites that tend to skew heavily towards the male demographic. Finally, the last great thing about ChristianCafe is that they have a high percentage of “active” users, because members with inactive profiles are automatically deleted after 90 days.
All in all, a membership at ChristianCafe.com is well worth the money and most users will almost certainly see some results at this wonderful faith-based dating site.

Success Story
By: Isaac Schmidt
“I've never been one to try online dating. I felt that online dating was a gimmick and that it would come and go like so many other internet fads had, but nonetheless decided to give ChristianCafe a try.
I've been on ChristianCafe.com for three months and I've met a wonderful young woman. She reminds me so much of everything I've always dreamed about: she's smart, witty, undeniably gorgeous, and her morals are as important to her as they are to me. We've been together for two months now, and nothing makes me happier to pick her up and go for a drive, talking about whatever comes to our minds. We've gone out for dinner, enjoyed champagne for two by the beach, and spent enough time together to really get to know each other. She knows that she can trust me with whatever is on her mind, and I feel the same. I've never had this kind of connection with someone before.
I used to think that online dating websites were hokey, but I am proof that they work. ChristianCafe.com is full of people who share common interests and beliefs. For me, it was a dream come true.”
