[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think there is any one way to date as a Christian. Here is a general guide.

I doubt that there is consensus on issues such as sex before marriage or GLBTQ+ but probably there is general consensus on being guided by love, behaving in ethical ways in relationship (not cheating or lying) and setting healthy boundaries .

Modern Christian dating practices include being guided by love, setting boundaries, and prioritizing godly character.

Being guided by love 
Love over lust: Prioritize love over lust, and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you

Put obedience over passion: Do what's right, even if it doesn't feel good

Examine your motives: Consider whether your motivations are genuine affection or something else
Setting boundaries
Set limits mutually: Both partners should be responsible for setting limits

Respect each other: If one person is uncomfortable with physical expression, don't do it

Determine what's "must-have" vs "nice to have": Prioritize godly character firs[/quote]

If you leave out the religious references, this is good advice for anyone.[/quote]

+1 "Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you" and "Prioritize godly character first" seem meaningless and superfluous.[/quote]

Only if you're an atheist.[/quote]
