1Cor. 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote: It is good for a
man not to touch a woman. But, because of fornications, let each man
have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
Christians should date for marriage. After all, why in the world would
you want to go out, enjoy someone's company, and become emotionally
involved without there being hope for more? That's a very bad
investment of your time. You can hang out with your homies, or your
girlfriends if you just want to have fun. If you like to seek
companions of the opposite sex without being hopeful for some kind of
future, then you need to search yourself and find out why your same sex
friends aren't enough. What things can't you do with your friends that
you can do by random dating? I tell young women all the time, the only
difference between being with your girls versus being with a guy is
sex! And the same goes for guys that like hanging with women all the
time. Don't play those kinds of games with yourself and others. If
God is in you and you are a good person, then you better believe that
whomever you spend time with will begin to desire you if they are of
the opposite sex. Whether married or single, it can happen!
If you are a "good catch" then you have to be careful with yourself.
If you are what men or women desire, then you have to protect them from
you! You may just want fun, but those you are "hanging" with will
definitely want more and you may create a situation where they begin to
invest more and hope for more. And if you are spending time with them,
eating with them, going out with them, then they will develop serious
feelings for you and will get hurt. Don't get me wrong, there
is always a period of friendship that comes before actually dating, but
you must make sure that you are not leading a person on just for their
company. And furthermore, you may be placing a block in your own path
when you do find Mr. or Mrs Right! If you are not ready to commit and
marry, then take yourself off the market and hang with your same gender
friends. If you want to marry, then don't lie and pretend you can deal
with just being friends with someone you are enjoying. Don't lead folks
on because you need to be seen with someone or by someone. Make sure
you search yourself before going out and allow God to speak to your
heart and not jump into anything. You wanna protect yourself from
igniting a flame that may burn you both.
