Find the Right Time
There is a time and place to approach your crush at church. This is important to know because it can be the difference between him or her taking you seriously or not.
You do not want to talk to them during service, because that might come across as disrespectful, which will definitely not be in your favor.
The most appropriate time to talk to your crush in the church is before or after the service.

Prepare What You Want to Say
This is something you want to do before you even approach him or her.
You can’t just use a pickup line like you would when meeting people in a bar because the church has different standards.
That’s why it is important to know what you want to say before you approach anyone in the church.
Here are some examples that you can use:
- You look so familiar! Do you go to this church often?
- Hi, I don‘t think we‘ve met before – what‘s your name?
- Hey there, don‘t think we‘ve been properly introduced yet – my name is Mike
- I noticed you were studying the Bible – what passage are you reading?
- Do you volunteer at this church often, or is this your first time here?
- I thought I recognized you! Where did we meet before?
- You seem really friendly – have you been attending this church for a while?
- Nice to see someone else is passionate about their faith. What do think of the sermon so far today?
- It‘s nice to meet you, I just joined this church. What about you?
- What do you like most about coming to church services here?
- Do you attend small group meetings or Bible studies at this church as well?

How to Approach Your Crush in Church?
You have prepared for the right moment and now the time has come to approach.
How do you go about approaching a guy or girl you like in the church?
First of all, before you approach them, you will want to make direct eye contact.
Eye contact is the first step in any conversation and it conveys confidence, courage, and interest.
When you approach them, you should act as casually and naturally as possible.
Don’t try to force a conversation, just make sure that your body language is open and welcoming.
Start with a simple greeting such as “Hi” or “Good morning”.
Don’t ask for their phone number right away because they don’t know you and may become intimidated or freak out.
Instead, shake their hand, introduce yourself, and start with some small talk.

Have a Solid Goal in Mind Before You Approach Them
- You just want them to notice you: This won’t be the time you ask them out or move things further with them. This is just the first step in getting him or her interested in you.
- You are trying to ask them out: This is the time when you will ask them out. My recommendation would be to wait for a church social event or activity to make it less awkward when asking someone out for the first time.
Remember to be respectful and polite before, during, and after you have approached him or her.
Because you are approaching them at church, they expect a certain etiquette from you.
Therefore, be on your best behavior to turn the odds in your favor.
You do not want to come off as disrespectful, especially in the house of God.
Have faith and confidence and it will all work out as it is meant to.
If you are serious about finding a girl or a guy who goes to the church you might also want to consider giving a try to online dating.
This way you can get to know dozens of Christian singles and be able to choose the one who you think might be your soulmate.
