[quote]I went on the whole quasi-extreme no physical contact until we're married kick. I'm off of it now, but still being careful. I think physical intimacy should match committment. The opposite of love is use.[/quote]

I love my boyfriend, he is an amazing young man. I admit he is not a fully matured man, but who is at 17? :lol: He and I respect eachother very much. We're not going a million miles an hour physically. We don't play with that, its way too dangerous. Our relationship is focused on potentially marrying eachother. Though that sounds scary, it does not frighten me in the least. I love him, he loves me, we're going to do what is right, save ourselves for marriage!

PS. We hold hands constantly. ^_^

I do not believe it is wrong to want to be close to someone physically. I do, however, see it wrong to make-out, french, etc., before marriage. That cheats you out of what you marriage should be, that is, exclusive with your spouse. I tell my boyfriend all the time, I do not deserve to touch, or kiss in a deeply physical way, because he and I have not commited for life yet. Not to say that we won't when the time comes (marriage)

If saying this type of thing to your significant other displeases them, drop them. It is partially my views on chastity that my boyfriend has fallen in love with me. He tells me all the time, that he's never met anyone like me, that I have made him less of a "Ill go to church because it seems to be the right thing" type. (I tell him its only because God wants it that way. ^_^ )
Go against the crowd people, you may bring someone closer to Christ.

[quote]I think it depends on your definition of dating too. By dating do you mean an exclusive relationship with a member of the opposite sex in which you spend a lot of time one on one or alone? Or do you mean a relationship with someone of the opposite sex where you get to know the person through mutual friends and social activities, fostering friendship? I don't think that spending a lot of time alone with a person of the opposite sex is necessary or necessarily good.

I mean, like hang around with friends (good friends), and maybe group date if there is such a thing, but not all members have to have someone. I agree, spending time alone isn't a good idea.
