Upward and Christian Mingle are the only ones I've heard of

Is she not a part of a local church? Seems like that would be the best place to meet someone like minded

I've had experience with this subject, and I recommend Bumble and Hinge, followed by Tinder. There are good folks on those apps, but it takes A LOT of patience and weeding out the duds. Many people use them these days and they are not just for hookups anymore.

The more popular apps have a wider variety of folks, and you can still filter by preferences.

Best of luck!

Edit to add the obvious: Don't trust anyone... like your ma said, it's the internet. People can lie. Google is your friend. Meet for a short coffee so there's no pressure for a longer date. You can tell in the first 10-15 minutes if you're interested or not, and if so, you can add a bite to eat or something after.

30 years old and single here. The dating scene is absolutely brutal these days.

I do not recommend.

Instead, encourage her to get involved with Bible Studies or communal groups outside of her church (I'm assuming she has tapped out that well already). There are many churches, organizations, or just groups of Christians that are welcoming to members of other churches.

Plus it probably has a much higher chance for a spiritual benefit than online dating.

*Edit to add context and personal experience:

I am 30 years old and have extensive (embarrassingly more than I care to admit) online dating experience. Yes I have met some wonderful people there and had some good experiences come from it. But the bad outweighs the good, and this is not just personal anecdotes - there is well documented research on the pitfalls and damage of online dating.

As texasaggie2015 mentioned, modern dating has lots of new challenges that weren't there in the past. Again, this is well documented and researched. So I feel for subject of OPs post. I was right there and probably could have been described in identical terms when I was 27.

Maybe she'll get lucky like me and buy a house next door to a gorgeous, caring, selfless, fun, doctor...

But if she has tapped out her friend network and church network - she just needs to expand that network. There are good guys out there and they're a lot easier to find and easier to form a true connection with if it begins in-person vs. online.

Yes, best to stay away from websites that market people like they are homes for rent/sale.

Leslie, sorry I haven't been checking here more often. She lives and works in BCS. If you are serious, we need to work something out to introduce them. I am an "old" and not knowledgeable on how to arrange a meeting with out me giving out more of my contact info than I want to. What do you suggest? Maybe you and I could meet with them for dinner my treat. Please let me know what you suggest.
