Is it really that bad to have a girlfreind
Is it that bad if you have a girlfreind but dont get sexual?

the sole purpose of dating is that it leads to marriage
the prob these days, is that dating becomes a joke, ppl are dating a number of different ppl, and the only thing their thinking about is fitting in,
you sound like a young guy george, there's nothing wrong with befriending girls,but just be careful with dating,
you've prob heard these type anolgies before, but i like this one, imagine our heart is like a block of chocolate, every time we date someone they take a peice of our chocolate, so at the end, when we get married the final half isnt get the whole chocolate but a block with missing peices
ive seen many ppl fall into depression due to fallen relationships, so be careful and only date when your ready and with the right intentions
But can't God heal broken hearts and can't God give you back everything you've lost by having a relationship at the wrong time?
Can't He make you completely over an old relationship?
some people might hate me for questioning everything.. I hope not..

mikeforjesus, if anyone shows any frustration at your questions, its due to concern for you, we cannot judge one another, we are brothers and sisters in christ and if this site is assisting you, then ask away my friend but you need to also seek answers for questions from your FOC. besides how do u learn if u cant ask questions?? God bless you mike, your a good man
anyways, through God, time will heal broken hearts but i dont see why God will give you back what you have lost, that just defeats the purpose of learning, because if you know God will always give you what you lose, then you might date people more often for the wrong reasons, dating is in preparation for marriage not to assist in fitting in or socialising.
it also needs to work both ways, if you want God to help you get over someone, you need to do your bit, for example, you cant say god help me get over jenny, and then continue dating her, you also need to take measures to help yourself, as is always said do what you can and leave the rest to God
a) be careful who u date: make sure they don't lead u away from Christ.
b) Before point a), make sure that when u date, it isnt playing around, or dating someone u KNOW u will never marry.
c) What is dating for a Christian? Isnt getting to know the other person?
A pastor said once that he married his wife because he was running towards Christ, and met someone that was running also in the same direction towards Christ. Because they were running at the same speed towards Christ, they said to themselves :"hey, why don't we run together?"
How we live our lives should be a testimony to our faith. I mean, everyone I knew at school were having sex. And all this was labelled under the huge banner "dating". Of course one day you too have to get to know someone to get married, but its better to be single than to be led into any temptation.
Another final piece of advice: even if u date a good girl: don't spend time alone. Always go out to public places... never be scared to show her your faith and your values. I think if u did this, you'd be friends very quickly.
