Ask the single person or group of singles about some issues they face when they are dating. Is there anything that bothers them such as the issue of premarital sex? This is usually the biggest problem all people face, and it is difficult to know how to deal with it. But other issues do exist, such as when to make a commitment or deal with a difference in Christian religions or conflicting beliefs altogether.

Share a few of your experiences with the single person. Maybe you have some good, practical advice that worked for you when you were dating. How did you handle premarital sex or going to church on Sunday? How did you handle an overbearing mother or strict parents? Sometimes, singles can learn from other singles' experiences.

The bottom line is that Christian singles should always follow God's lead when it comes to dating. I advise you to ask a ton of questions when getting to know someone and do a lot of listening. Remember....God gave us one mouth and two ears for a good reason.
