Thoughts on dating,
it’s not Biblical.
I could end it there, but there’s quite the chasm of the middle ground. First of all, dating is different for everybody, and not all of it is bad. But please don’t date to sample guys or girls out; the human heart is not a buffet for you to wander about at your leisure. There seems to be a process, or a cycle rather, that nearly every couple goes through. First it’s going on a date, to test the waters. You don’t want them to be a sociopath, right? If that date’s good, you typically go on another, then another, and then a few dates down the road, you put a label on it. You’re setting yourself up for heartbreak in this way, honestly. If it’s just you and that other person all the time, they only see that one side of you, and vice versa. You tend to close yourself off from your friends, right? You grow closer to one another rather than the Lord, right?
Dating isn’t Biblical because it doesn’t glorify God in so many aspects.
Bring courting back in style, for real. Chaperoned dates with friends or family? I can dig it. It’s a slow and steady process where you aren’t giving your heart away. You aren’t just sampling someone out, you’re learning about them. You’re finding out who they are rather than who they are with you. No cuddling, no making out… just discovering the artwork behind one of God’s masterpieces.
I’d implore you all to read through Genesis and evaluate Adam, Eve, and God’s relationship prior to the fall. It’s really beautiful.
