Do you take time off dating apps? What prompts the break? How do you keep your habits healthy?

How do you filter for faith on dating apps? Are there specific things that you're looking for that show someone's faith is alive in the early stages?

We always get questions about how guys should approach girls so Delphine put together this video. It's so hard in today's culture, partly because we're glued to our phones and partly because we're hyper vigilant about how we're coming across but we'd love more people out there interacting in real life and shooting their shot.

Has anyone had much success in this area?

We've written a blog post about what we think but what do you think? How long after a break up should you wait until you get back out there and date again?

Seeing a few comments lately suggesting you have to pay to actually use SALT. Wanted to clear that up, and tackle a couple of myths doing the rounds!

What's completely free:

• Create a profile and get verified
• Browse matches
• Like, match, and chat with other members (unlimited messaging)
• Voice notes
• Video calls
• Table (live audio events)
• One Intro every 72 hours

That's a full dating app experience -- meeting people, matching, and having real conversations -- all without spending anything.

Myth #1: "You can only send one message every 72 hours for free"

This one's an easy mix-up! The 72-hour limit is on Intros -- a specific feature that lets you send a short message to someone before you've matched. Once you're matched with someone, messaging is completely unlimited for everyone, free or Premium. Chat as much as you like.

Myth #2: "You can't receive an Intro unless you're a Premium member"

Not true! If someone sends you an Intro, you receive it regardless of whether you're on the free version or Premium. The 72-hour limit applies to sending Intros, not receiving them. So if a Premium member sends you one, it lands in your queue just fine.

Myth #3: "You can't see who's liked you for free"

Also not quite right. On the free version, you can still see a limited number of people who've liked you - some will be blurred, but it's not a blank wall. And here's something worth knowing: if someone who's liked you appears in your Meet Screen, you'll see a "Likes You" banner on their profile even on the free version. So you're never completely in the dark. What Premium does is unblur your full Likes list upfront, so you can see everyone who's liked you before deciding whether to like them back. It's an upgrade, not a gate on the core experience.

What Premium actually adds (if you want to go further):

• See your full Likes list instantly and unblurred
• Up to 10 Intros per day
• Global Search - find members using filters beyond your local area
• Private Mode - only people you've liked can see you
• Your profile gets prioritised in other members' Meet Screens
• See everyone you've previously skipped

Premium is a genuine upgrade if you're using the app heavily, but it's an optional extra -- not a paywall on the basic experience.

We might be biased but we think SALT is the best Christian dating app around right now and this video explains why.

With Christian Mingle facing insolvency, thousands of Christians are looking for a reliable alternative. SALT is actively growing, financially stable, and built for the modern Christian dater.

If you've never seen Third Wheel Dates, it's another opportunity we give for single Christians to meet, date and marry and such a lot of fun! Check out the first episode.

We've loved seeing your SALT Profiles! So many great Christians out there to meet and date - well done for putting yourself out there.

We're still happy for the Reddit community to review your profiles if you find it helpful but you'll no longer get a free Profile Highlight on SALT in return.

Do keep posting your questions and advice on the SubReddit - this Christian dating business is hard on your own!

Is it ever ok to date your friend's ex? The Christian dating pool is already so small, should we make it smaller by saying that some people are out of bounds? How do we be respectful and sensitive with appropriate limits?

Are there any Bible verses that God highlights to you that are helpful for your dating journey? It would be great to share them to encourage each other.
