Christians and Dating…?
What are your views on dating? Please share your views?
1. Do you have to date someone to really get to know them?
2. Wouldn’t it be wiser to get to know them and decide if they are really a potential mate before you date?
3. Dating vs. Courting…what’s the difference?
4. Do you date to find a mate or just to be with someone?
5. What is appropriate behavior for Christians who are dating?
6. Christians who are married, did you date your mate first? If so, how long and when did you know they were “the one”?
1) Yes.
2) How are you going to know if they are a potential mate without dating them?
3) Courting starts after dating, and is more focused on building a relationship. Dating is a pretty casual thing: going out and seeing if u get along, if your personalities mesh, do you “fit” with each other. Courting is when you’ve decided you do fit together and you’re trying to decide is this the person I want to spend my life with. It’s nearly a dead thing anymore too.
4) I think you should date to try to find your mate, but a lot of people date just to do it. It’s up to you and what you believe and feel comfortable with.
5) What does your own conscience tell you is appropriate? What’s appropriate for one Christian may not be appropriate for others. Fornication’s out, the Bible makes that clear. But I’ve known people who didn’t believe in holding hands, or kissing, or any physical contact of any kind, etc. I reject this notion (mainly because I love kissing and holding hands).

VS $12.99 Men’s 0.17 oz EDT Mini. V/S cologne by Versace is an unusual alchemy where opposite elements combine creating intriguing balance. The wild freshness of Mediterranean of mandarin and lime emphasized by violet leaves dissolves into the warm and spicy accents of cardamon and coriander.
