A New Christian Orthodox Dating Service with an Impressive Membership

The new Christian Orthodox dating serviceOrthodox Christian Dating is created specifically to cater those whose religious faith is a serious consideration when looking for a serious relationship.

Orthodox Christianity in the United States is a Minority

Although Orthodox Christianity has been in existence in the United States for over two hundred years, it still makes up just 1% of all people in the U.S. who are Christians. The impact on dating within your faith is obvious – the chances are slim that Mr. or Miss Right is going to be found in your own congregation.

The Orthodox dating website addresses this by focusing on matching up individuals who are actively practicing their religion or who would like to become more involved in it. They allow anyone to join regardless of religious belief, but the focus is definitely toward Orthodox members.

World-Wide Membership

This dating service has only recently started, and as far as I know is the only one out there that caters specifically to Orthodox Christians, including Russian and Eastern Orthodox. The members are from all corners of the globe, with a large cross-section from North America (since the site was founded here). There are also plenty of men and women from Russia and its satellite countries as well as a smattering from African nations where Orthodoxy is the prevailing religion.

The questions on each profile include information such as ethnic background and the specific type of Christian Orthodoxy you practice (Eastern, Russian, Antiochian, Romanian, etc.). The profiles also cover your habits, such as smoking and drinking. You are also free to write an essay about yourself and post it at the dating service’s web site – you can put in whatever you want, since it’s an open essay, giving you freedom to write about whatever you feel will draw others’ interest.

Alex, the founder, is serious about his mission – at this point membership is completely free for anyone who wants to sign up.

Membership is Still Free and Includes:

• Your personality profile and a photo
• The ability to exchange emails with anyone you wish. You can initiate contact or reply to ones you receive.
• Browsing photos and profiles
• A compatibility matching system using the various profile questions.

The founder currently has an open letter on the “About Us” page of Orthodox Christian Dating explaining why he started his Christian Orthodox dating service. In it, he expresses his hope that he will help others find Orthodox Christian mates. For now, the site is completely free of charge, but he anticipates beginning to charge for membership in July of 2006, so now is the time to sign up! For a new, free service catering to a small segment of the population, it has an impressive membership already.
