Christian Online Dating: 40 Email Icebreakers
By Karyn Markwell | 19-Nov-08 in Dating
Exchanging emails is a safe way to find out more about someone in the early stages of a relationship. You should only arrange your first face to face meeting once you’re certain that he or she is legitimately seeking a relationship with you and that everything they’ve said about themselves and their lifestyle is compatible with the Christian faith.
Here are 40 icebreaker questions that you can email your prospective boyfriend or girlfriend (but not all at once unless you want to overwhelm them!) to help you get to know them better:
- Are you a morning person or a night person?
- Are you always early or always late?

- Do you collect anything?
- Do you have a nickname?
- Do you have any pets?

- How long do you think couples should date before getting married?

Do you think play-fighting in a relationship is cute?
Hi Choices, thanks for your question. I personally don't find play fighting cute, as hostility between a couple isn't honouring to God. If a couple do play fight, they need to ensure that their words and actions are completely innocent and that any mimicking of physical or verbal hostility doesn't lead to genuine hostility. The danger is that the line between make believe and reality can become blurred. A couple who play fight need to remain completely respectful of one another and keep Christ at the centre of their words and actions. I hope this helped! We'd love to hear from you again soon, Karyn.
