All right i decided to post abt the 7 Habits of Highly Defective Dating.
1) Dating leads to intimacy but not necessary commitment.
Deepening intimacy w/o defining a level of commitment is plainly dangerous.Its like going mountain climbing with a partner who isnt sure that she wants e responsibility of holding yr rope. When you've climbed 2000 ft up a mountain fanc, you dun wanna have a conversation abt how she feels "tied down" by yr relationship.
*Intimacy w/o commitment awakens desires - emotional and physical - that neither person can justly meet.
*Intimacy w/o commitment, like icing w/o cake, can b sweet, but it ends up making us sick.
2)Dating tends 2 skip e "friendship" stage of a relationship
In dating, romantic attraction is often e relationships's cornerstone. E premise of dating is " im attracted 2 you ; therefore lets get 2 noe each other".
*Intimacy w/o comitment is defrauding
*Intimacy w/o frenship is superficial
*A r/s based only only on physical attraction n romantic feelings will last only as e feelings last.
3)Dating often mistakes a physical r/s 4 love.
Jus bcos lips have met doesnt mean hearts have joined.
Jus bcos 2 bodies are drawn to each other doesnt mean 2 people are right for each other.
4)Dating often isolates a couple from other vital relationships
5)Dating, in many cases distracts young adults from their primary responibility of preparing 4 e future
Dating may help you practise being a good bf/gf but what are these skills really worth?
6)Dating can cause discontentmen with God's gift of singleness.
God gave us singleness - A season of our lives unmatched in its boundless opportunities 4 growth, learning n service - n we view it as a chance 2 get bogged down in finding and keepin bfs and gfs.
7) Dating creates an artificial environment 4 evaluating another person's character
Dating creates an artificial environment for 2 people to interact. As a result, each person can easily convey and equally artificial image.
