LOS ANGELES, CA — (Marketwired) — 03/15/16 — users agree: The biggest value they seek in a significant other is loyalty. According to the largest and most trusted online community for Christian singles, there are several great ways to focus your online dating search toward this value. And now that spring is here, it–s not only the perfect time to clean up your home, but also to clean up your love life, and here are their tips to sweep away the old and make room for an awesome fresh start.
“I always get the sense that life around me is changing for the better in the spring. It–s also the perfect time to consider refreshing your dating life too,” said pastor and author Jarrid Wilson. “I agree with ChristianMingle users that loyalty is a top relationship quality, and one I found with my wife, Juli. I encourage everyone this spring to keep what–s close to your heart close to the surface as you continue on the journey towards a relationship that focuses on God.”
1. – That person that just wanted to buy you breakfast? Delete! That person you chatted with for weeks but never made a move to ask you out? Goodbye! Your clean and organized match section will make you feel amazingly accomplished.
2. Use as many catchy phrases as you want, but is that going to find you Mr./Mrs. Right? Probably not. It–s daunting but be honest about who you are, what you value and results will follow.
3. – Yes, you were glowing on Spring Break four years ago or during your college basketball days, but now you–re older and wiser and it–s time to show that. Have a photo shoot with your friends next time you–re hanging out doing your favorite hobby. It will show off your personality and the good mood will show in the photos!
4. – How many times can you awkwardly sit in Starbucks waiting, pretending to be on your phone and then having to order a $5 coffee? Switch it up! Get together and do something seasonal and fun — find a free concert in your neighborhood, an outdoor movie or a street market.
5. – They could have been very good looking and smart, but if they–re neglecting you, then it–s probably not worth that third attempt you–re making for a second date. There are lots of other options out there!
6. – If you–re fresh off a break up, take care of your heart, and don–t jump right back in. First and foremost, your love life starts with you. Take time to heal! When seeing a picture of your ex on Instagram doesn–t send chills down your spine anymore, you–re ready.
7. – It–s finally date night and you–re going to wear the same button-up or tank as last time. It doesn–t matter that it “goes with everything,” it–s got bad date germs all over it. Toss it out and pick up a fresh outfit that makes you feel fresh and confident.
8. – That means one thing. The sun is out! Challenge your sense of adventure and head to the beach or road trip to a scenic hike nearby. The car ride will give you time to play car games and will loosen you up by the time you reach the main event.
9. – They may be a wee bit older than you, but once upon a time, your parents had game. Ask them for advice! Today–s dating scene is dying for some old-school romance.
10. – Call in the professionals and spend the day with some of your best friends. Banish the blues and binge watch a Netflix show or eat some pizza: do what makes you smile. Your body will thank you for the cathartic relaxation time and you–ll be ready to hit the ground running this spring!
