I think the idea of courting is cute. ^__^ So is dating, though. T.T;; I can't wait for my first date. -_-;;

I went on one date. It really didn't work out. I thought I liked him. But then I sat down and tried to think about us together like dating seriously and I couldn't take it.

He has this attidude that you only date one person and not think about dating anyone else. If you do then you are cheating and that is breaking the Commandment: Thou shalt not commit adultery.

I disagreed.
That was my only date ever. lol
I have been looking but not finding.

I actually agree with him, except for the adultery part.


Dating is supposed to be for preperation for marriage, and how can you prepare to be married to two different people, at the same time? Dating has been shifted greatly from its original purpose. Dating was used so the woman could choose who she wanted to marry, but this was also done only one person at a time. Courting, on the other hand, involved more than one person. Several men would court the same woman, to try and win her heart. When it got serious, then she'd only date one guy.

If dating is supposed to be so you can date more than one person at a time, then why would so much pain be caused? Good question, huh? It's because of the significance put on dating. If you want to 'date' more than one person, just hang out and be friends with several guys, and when you find one you could possibly want to marry, then date him, not the other way around.

Isnt adultery when your married? Or does it apply to outside-marital relationships?

[Mrs. Bro. Adam]

Adultery is any act against your spouse, whether present or future.

If you have pre-marital relations, you've committed adultery against your future spouse.

What if you slip as a pre-marital couple with the person you are engaged to?

I forgot to mention, this may have been said before. Dating should be fun. If you are not having fun with the person your dating then you probably won't have fun when your married. If you are having fun with your date and you think to yourself, I can't see myself with this guy/girl for the rest of my life, then I don't think you should be dating that person and it is more of a friendship. If you are having fun with your date and you think, I can't live without the person for the rest of my life. He/She is the best thing that ever happened to me...etc, Then you are probably good to go.

Maybe I'm wrong. But that's the way I see it. I'm not exactly the expert or anything.

[Mrs. Bro. Adam]

You can't base your complete decision on whether or not you have fun... It's, how well you get along, and how much you begin to love that person. No matter who you are, there will be times that you 'hate' the other person, and you don't have fun, but it's those times that will bring the two closer together.
