Describing yourself is one of the reasons why posting a Christian personal ad can be difficult. Also, posting a personal ad on an online dating service is a bit more complicated than placing an ad in a newspaper. Basically, you need to register with a service, create a profile and upload a photo. But due to the popularity of Christian online dating services, your profile may be competing with hundreds of others to gain readers' attention. That means you must make an impression with a sincere yet eye-catching introduction. Read the steps below to learn more about posting a Christian personal ad that is sure to capture the interest of readers.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Choose a Christan online dating website. Determine which dating service fits your needs. See Resources below for links to some of these websites.

  2. Step 2

    Use your email account to register for the dating service.

  3. Step 3

    Write your introduction in advance so that the ad copy progresses logically. Compose your introduction with word processing software, or write it on a sheet of paper. Briefly describe yourself, including interests and hobbies. Describe what you are seeking in a Christian mate. Review and check the text for errors. Remember to save a copy of the introduction of your profile. Then cut and paste the introduction into the online template.

  4. Step 4

    Fill in the the fields provided in the online template to complete your profile. Answer the questions honestly and accurately so you don't mislead others who may view your profile. Only provide information you feel comfortable sharing with others. Some online Christian dating services allow nonmembers limited access to your profile.

  5. Step 5

    Respond to the following prompts if you are having trouble writing the ad. Indicate your frequency of worship. Indicate your status: never been married, separated, divorced or widowed. Specify which type of relationship you are seeking--friendship or marriage. Mention whether you are willing to relocate or if you want to have children. Recall your favorite bible passage and why it is so memorable. What are your plans for a first date? Mention some goals you have in mind for your personal life. Compose your ad using the information you gleaned from your own answers.

  6. Step 6

    Upload a picture for the profile so that others can see what you look like. Use a current photo that has been saved on your computer, or take a photo of yourself with a digital camera, import the photo, save it as a JPG file and upload it to your profile. Or scan a recent photo and upload the image to your profile. Make sure the picture has been taken within the last 3 years.
