Friends First?
Posted : 5 Dec, 2010 02:19 PM

Okay,

Here is my problem. I think that it is very important to know who the girl is before considering a dating relationship. This seems to be a problem for a lot of women. I treat them the way the bible says as sisters. The bible says to treat younger women as sisters. So therefore if it is not appropriate for a brother and sister then it is not appropriate for me to do with this girl I am getting to know. So why is it that most women I have met seem to think that it is not important to have boundaries physically and that friends first should be a must?

honestly the term "romantic" deserves to be used only in marriage. At least that is the way I see it

the word romantic is mostly associated with physcality. The two do not become one til marriage.

I'm sorry if that's the connotation you give the word, but I don't believe that's the connotation the word carries to the vast majority of the Church or even people in general. I never even kissed the girl I was talking about, and yet I would still say we were romantically involved.

Emotionally of course

I am not sure I get what you mean by that. But one does not have to touch to cross the line that God has put before us to not cross before marriage.

Please don't take this as condescending, but I think it's hard to understand if you've never dated. Think of it as similar to love, but to a lesser degree.

Love exists in many ways. I can honestly say I have loved. True love is not necessarily romantic or physical at all.

i think the problem in society today is that we associate love with the physical. There are those I care for a lot and have never touched them at all. No need to.
