Dating out of selflessness?
Posted : 14 Dec, 2013 02:57 PM

Guys please offer your opinions.

Some of the parenting experts tell fathers that they should take their daughters out on dates so that their little girls will know how they should be treated when their daughters go out with boys. This way if their daughters are treated poorly by someone else they will recognize it and tell him to go away.



So... As most women have not been raised by such a father... Do you feel that you (we) have an opportunity to treat our sisters in Christ in such a way that our sisters will no longer settle for being treated as less then daughters of the king? If we do this then what can we learn from it, even if we are not romantically attracted to them or them to us?

1jon310 do you really still have such a close minded and old world style view on the world? i think that banding all men as certain stereotypes based on pulling a chair out and holding the door for a women are extremely sexist . we live in a modern world where women should be treated as equals dont we? why should a lady not hold the door for me or pull m chair out for me? spoiling someone or paying the bill and only focusing your attention to a female is very sexist and only seems to denote the fact you want to be treated like a dainty less superior person due to your gender.

Im not saying dont do it for a lady ,im saying id do it for anyone, of any age, gender, religion or colour. Such things as door holding and chair pulling are from a time of women or "ladies" being considered to be delicate or dainty and not able to perform such heavy and rugged tasks for themselves. In this day and age i would hope that is the general consensus, but i am merely a lad of the younger generation. I hope this doesnt read offensively im merely asking why u feel why its good manners to do these things to only the female gender?if it comes across rude i apologise truely ,but still regardless pray that god will guide in better understanding of the modern world and what is expected now days and that courtesy and manners are now expected both ways equally in a relationship. after all doesnt matter what gender you are who doesnt like be made to feel special ??

and to answer the original question from my perspective , if the lady is on a date with a gentleman , problems should not arise anyway.If the lady is not adult and smart enough to deal with arising situations personally id gather a bet that she is probably not mentally old enough to be dating , and this goes for both sides. Unless your blind dating i cant see why you would go on a 1 on 1 date with someone who you didnt feel met your personal criteria on a mental and emotional level anyway. No human is perfect , sometimes learning from mistakes is the best way to learn, we cant control others actions , we can only be accountable for our own and the decisions and choices we make for ourselves. Pray God gives you the strength to make the right decision and live life through him, he will guide you in all and make good things possible through your actions and thoughts!
