You date to find someone you truly love, and then if you find it, go unto marriage. But its for fun as well, with the person, friendship etc etc

I know longer believe in dating, Ive had plenty of Girl Friends in my 19-20 years of old age living lol, and I'm sick of dating lol, too much money, too much work, too crazyness.


I do believe dating is to know the person, before marrying them, obviously.


But since I dont date anymore, I dont wanna get married, so I just dont date anymore. Sick of it, in a funny way. :cool: :D :)

God Bless.

I'm with all of you I don't date, I took a lot of critisism and abuse about it during high school, but thats all over. I have gone as far to make a vow with God and to whoever my future wife will be I am saving my first kiss for our wedding day, and it feels great!

[quote]And I think that some time dating gets a bad wrap, and people hear about dating and they're scared. As long as you know the person, fairly well before you date, examples such as what they're into, friends friends sometimes even[/quote]

I think it depends on your definition of dating too. By dating do you mean an exclusive relationship with a member of the opposite sex in which you spend a lot of time one on one or alone? Or do you mean a relationship with someone of the opposite sex where you get to know the person through mutual friends and social activities, fostering friendship? I don't think that spending a lot of time alone with a person of the opposite sex is necessary or necessarily good.

I think this is a natural feeling. The desire to be love and cherished. We girls have to be very careful not to enter or seek relationships just because we want someone to meet our emotional needs. We shouldn't use guys for that. Be held by Christ in holy communion!

Capital idea! Some people know what they want out of life when they are young. Just from my own personal experience...I didn't have a clue, and I am still discerning at 28 yrs of age. You may find your whole outlook changing in 5 or 10 years, Immaculata. I pray that God lead you into what He has planned for you...ASAP! And I pray you be ready when He does! GOD BLESS!!!

I have to agree with hughey. Deep kissing has an effect on a man roughly equivalent to...well...I can't say it. That's how bad it is.

I am struggling with this now. It looks like a nice man is trying to pursue me. We do not know each other well, and I cannot see myself with him for the rest of my life. It's just not there. I don't know how to explain it. He doesn't challenge me like I need. There is some spiritual connection missing. I can't date him with a good conscience while still thinking that he is not marriage material for me.

I want my husband to be my best friend.

I went on the whole quasi-extreme no physical contact until we're married kick. I'm off of it now, but still being careful. I think physical intimacy should match committment. The opposite of love is use.

There sometimes are things that the body does that you have no control over.

Your mind controls everything. You control your mind, you control yourself. [Keep that in context of the topic, and dont go for the 'car line']

Once again, calm down, u take dislikings to people and keep telling us to keep things in context, chill, people are only giving their opinion, everyone has the right to voice their opinion and u should respect that instead of being mean

Okkkkk

1: I am Calm
2: You Dont Even Know What Im Refering to, but he would.
3: Stop telling me to Calm Down
4: Grow Up A Bit, And [u]De-Sensitize[/u] to such minor things.
5: Random, Has a tendency to take things out of context.
6: Dont tell me to chill please.
7: I know people are giving their opinion
8: I already know they have the right, I do live in a Western Society, even though we all sometimes know that society forgots that itself.

9: Just because I disagree with them, doesnt mean I dont respect them.
10: You call it mean, when its being blunt, I find that better then being fake.

:mellow:
