Dallas, what's wrong with dating a girl, for the sake of dating, and getting to know someone on a friendly basis, without dating just to find a marriage partner? Especially at your age? You would get to meet new, exciting people. Seems like a positive experience to me. Unless this married, old fart is missing something?
Here are my views. When I look at relationships in todays society, I see a lot of "touchy feely." That's what people want, at least I think. They want to be "physically" loved, instead of the emotional and spiritual love. That's were my problem comes in. I do not want a physical relationship, this includes: french kissing, sex, sharing drinks, etc... The sharing drinks one? Ha

. That's a germ problem I have. I want to love someone emotionally before I want to love someone physically. And everyone else's views are quite the opposite.
Plus i'm not saying dating is bad, but people just hop into relationships without getting to know the person before dating. I don't want to date and date and date to find that one person. I want that one person to be my first and only date, then my wife. But, that's not going to happen is it?
