Do you think it's appropriate to even date a woman if you know you wouldn't consider marrying her?

if you mean date as in spend time with as a friend, I don't think that is inappropriate.



If you mean date as in leading her on so that she thinks you like her enough to get married that is scurrilous and underhanded. It basically is deceptive and someone who does that is acting without honor.

I guess if your end game is not marriage and both people know that and just want to "hang" together then it`s alright.

But if your just stringing them along...that would be wrong.

If you're being led by prayer and the promptings of the Holy Spirit within you are telling you "no", then you would ultimately be denying God's direction in your life to do so.

Just a thought ;)

By the way, good morning to you MsMarvel!

A man could date a dozen ladies who smelled like orange blossoms and take each one for granted, that is until he dated just one that smelled of skunkweed.

It's clearer than crystal.

Relationships are fun, but if fun is all you're having, and you already know sooner than later that that person isn't the one, are you technically leading them on?

I would say definitely yes except for that vain hope something might change.

If I knew beyond a doubt that we were not marriage compatible I would not lead a girl on by going out on a date with her. If we are long standing friends with no romantic interest in each other then I have no problems with a one on one activity.



If I were attracted to a girl who I felt was interested in me but nevertheless I felt we were compatible or possibly compatible I would ask her out on a date.

Rachel, I have dated girls who said they did not want to be anything more than just a friend after they said it.

Those dates were more fun than the ones when I am looking for a wife to date.

Why- because I do not have to impress her. I can just be myself. I am more relaxed. You should try it sometime.

Somebody at work once asked me the same question: can you see yourself marrying this girl as she is? If not, why are you wasting each other's time by pointless dates?



He was right. I had been dating someone far longer than I should have because even though we weren't right together, I didn't want to be out of a relationship and single again. I ended things later that week.



If you can't see things working then I don't believe you should continue. The exception to this I would say is marriage - you've already committed to each other "for better or worse" and you're expected to honour those commitments.
