Hi AB! Welcome!



Just be yourself and express yourself as you've started doing on the forums. I'd also suggest not limiting yourself to just single, never married folk, because we divorced people do make good friends too. You might never date some of us divorcees but we might be able to help you out from time to time. Yes, even here through this site. Glad you posted and look forward to you blessing us!

I guess advice from a divorcee to me would be what to do and what not to do to keep a marriage alive. So when u were my age how did you see things or are you one of those that have been married two, maybe three, times. Help me out here.

what are the ground rules for christian dating?



Rom 13:14 Don,t make any provision for the flesh.



Ive been taught that even though you make a decision not to

fornicate you still have to set boundaries while dating.



I.E a. Is it best to one on one date or double date?



b.Should you be at each others homes by yourselves?



c.Is it healthy to be touching each other?



Most of the time I hear of or someone tells me they have fallen



into sin its because they violated their own boundaries.

AB... well yes a divorcee could very much give you advice. No I've only been married once. When I was your age and dating, I didn't do things Gods' way, and it cost me big time for here I am now with a "greater peace" than I should have had then. Had I dated by God's guidelines in His word in my youth, my life --well, God knows how much better off I'd be. Yet at the same time I tell you that, I know that God couldn't use me now as effectively had I not gone through some things.



The worlds way of dating, everything you see in the mags, TV, streets is deceptive. Big setup for failure and wasted time. I will answer your questions in the other forum area. Also suggest if you want answers from us all, maybe post in the section on Advice on Love and Dating. You might get a bigger pool of responders there. I'll write back!

Boundries are good! May be hard to accept for some, but maybe that says something. I guess you could think of it in this way ... that woman is someones daughter, sister, maybe mother. Are you someone you would want your sister or daughter to date?



I think we all kind of know our weaknesses too! If you don't trust yourself in certain situations, don't go there.
