The Short Version: Finding a date isn’t as difficult as it used to be. While online dating is an incredible dating resource, it can be a bit tricky to navigate sometimes. Platforms such as Chi Rho Dating provide insight and helpful dating tips for singles seeking a true connection. Chi Rho Dating has all sorts of newsletters, guides, and fun content to connect with its audience and change the way people date.  

Some people (like me) view the web as the go-to magic genie whenever they’re looking for a solution or advice. Where’s the best place to get sushi? How do I clean gunk out of my microwave? Why didn’t he text me back?

Thanks to online search tools, people don’t have to do too much digging for answers to their questions. And when it comes to dating, there’s definitely no shortage of gurus and guidance. 

Google can lead you to online resources that shed light on the do’s and don’ts of dating – Chi Rho Dating is a prime example.

Chi Rho Dating is a blog that discusses all things dating. Chi Rho Dating delivers fresh dating advice — from learning how to find a relationship to understanding more about yourself — that has helped singles from all over the world.

ChiRhoDating offers resources for any dating concern you may have.

Chi Rho Dating was founded by Rickard Österholm in November 2013. The platform currently features podcasts, newsletters, and Rickard’s reviews on dating sites and products that he thinks will be helpful for singles. 

“I’ve always wanted to help people,” said Rickard. “I continue to put my unique twist in my blogs and share my personal dating experiences to better connect with others.” 

Helping You Find Your First or Next Love 

With billions of people in the world, it’s not difficult to meet someone new. But it does get a little bit more complicated when you’re looking for that special someone.

Some singles don’t trust themselves in the dating department because they feel like they have picked the wrong dates in the past or just don’t know how to approach dates the right way. 

Chi Rho Dating shares dating advice that will help daters on their journey to find love. Rickard told us that he always encourages people to view dating and relationships as a marathon rather than a sprint. He urges singles not to rush into relationships out of loneliness.

“My best advice to anyone who is single is to slow down a bit and take a moment to breathe and actually think about what you want from dating,” said Rickard. “Relationships shouldn’t just be like a relay where you change partners every week and so on.”

The Chi Rho Dating blog addresses topics on how conscious dating and taking it slow can help by allowing time for people to learn about each other. 

The blogger advises singles to go on multiple dates to get comfortable and reach a level of vulnerability that will help the relationship grow. Often singles put so much pressure on first dates that they lose out on getting to know someone over time.

“I always liked the idea of conscious dating. Before I started blogging, I studied theology. And I discovered that shared values, life goals, and interests all play a big role in making strong connections. If you don’t want the same things… then you may not be a good fit,” said Rickard. “The problem with rushing things is that you don’t get to learn about each other and discuss difficult topics.”

Discovering the Best Modern Dating Practices

Truth be told, there are plenty of ways you can date now: online, in person, or even in a group. It’s all just a matter of figuring out which way(s) better suit you.

And if you don’t know, Chi Rho Dating offers beginner guides and articles such as How To Spot Red Flags which can be a great starting point. 

Chi Rho Dating is always looking to identify the best modern dating practices to help singles of all ages. Its advice is practical and relevant to the modern single.

Chi Rho Dating can fill you in on the latest dating trends and developments. 

Rickard said that singles should practice manifestation techniques such as “I’m a great person,” or “I deserve to find love” so that they attract what they speak.

But they should also be mindful of red flags as well. Chi Rho Dating dating red flag guide reveals what singles should keep an eye open for. 

“Dating red flags should be addressed as quickly as you spot them because if not, you might just end up wasting your or the other person’s time. Addressing red flags from the beginning will allow for you to discuss them and see where the relationship should move from there,” said Rickard.

Doing your homework when it comes to dating for keeps is smart. But at the end of the day, it’s also important to show yourself grace along the way. Rickard said that mistakes are inevitable in dating and forgiving yourself and being willing to forgive others is key. 

10 Years of Success & Counting

It’s been 10 years since Rickard started Chi Rho Dating, and he has certainly left his mark on the web as a trusted dating expert. When asked what inspired him to start Chi Rho Dating in the first place, Rickard responded that he simply wanted to improve his English while sharing the best dating practices worldwide. 

Chi Rho Dating also offers other resources that help people even after they get into a relationship. Chi Rho Dating’s 30-day boot camp program for women is dedicated to helping women improve their relationships with different strategies for commitment, flirting, and self-confidence.
