I have been a member of Christian Cafe for several months now. My best advice to you is to take advantage of the free trial to read a lot of the forums (which are fairly new but full of a lot of good advice, and also very telling of the frustration level of many of the members regarding lack of actual contact with appropriate Christians to date, a large number of men who are too backward to contact women, and a general tone of disappointment with the dating part but a lot of sentiment that the forums are a good place to perhaps find friends of the same sex or occasionally of the opposite sex). There are many heated debates, including some inappropriate labelling and name calling, and for a while there was a lot of outright nastiness and bullying in the forums, which the administrative staff finally (and I mean finally!!) stepped in to control. One man I know was kicked off but it was only after multiple people reported the abuse and it took a very loooonnnnggg time. The overall tone is that there are many fundamentalists and people who have no aversion to hitting other people over the head with a Bible to make their point, especially in the Bible Study Forums. Many, many members refuse to ever go into those forums, which is a sin on a christian dating site. So it can be a great place to fellowship and find out what you're looking for, but after you determine that, the choices for dateable people is quite limited according to many of the members. In my state there are very few members, for example. In my age range there are even fewer members. Most members seem to be in their 40s to 50s I would say. Overall, it's not at all a good deal for dating because of the high price. But it can serve a purpose if you are just window shopping or still in recovery after a divorce or death of a spouse. Most people seem to move on and mention that they are trying other dating sites, so my opinion is that it's best to start with other dating sites. Why waste months of your time and so much work to find out that a very large percentage of the "members" are not members at all but have been encouraged to leave their profile intact when they left? In other words, even if you are the type to send out many winks or emails, you will get little or even no response because the people you are contacting are already gone. There is also a lot of complaining about rudeness, in other words, people just stop emailing with no explanation after even a considerable time, or they refuse to even respond to your initial contact in the first place. I have had actually a lot of contacts, but none of them was as good a match for me as I found on secular sites in the past, and their spirituality was not always that impressive either. I have met one man so far with whom I will pursue contact after my subscription is up. That's it, after several months of very hard work and a whole lot of time. I am recommending that you try it only because in the forums you can clearly see what someone is really like if you are interested in them, and possibly only for the free trial. Too many people start to doubt their worth as a date on this site in my honest opinion.

In summary, I would not recommend Christian Cafe to a friend.
