Fun in what way? Do you date each other so as to just kiss (Physical pleasure)? Do you date each other just to have company with one another in worldly matters (Physical pleasure)? Or do you date because you can see yourself with them as a fellow partner in the Lord? Yes, one can have fun with their fellow partner in the Lord. But this is because pleasure between a man and woman is supposed to be within the bounds of marriage. That is why you date. So you can have a life partner in the Lord. To have fun with no spiritual goal in mind is to focus on carnal things or to be carnally minded. Romans 8:6 says to be carnally minded is death. Is that what you want? Or do you want to be spiritually minded which brings life and peace?
"instead of going to a man to interpret the Bible for you, please seek the Scriptures for yourself on the matter instead." You used the word 'instead' twice here 
that quite clearly implies I shouldn't go to a man

What you just said could not be further from the truth (And it is wrong on so many levels). Before I accepted the Lord and when I was young, I had written down who I wanted as a soul mate. Not one thing on that list was geared towards the idea of sex. There was only one physical trait I listed and it was in regards to hair color. But again, that was very minor on my list. I desired a woman who was non-judgmental and kind and loving. These were the big ones on my list (And not hair color). I later accepted the Lord and prayed over the years for the right Christian woman to come into my life. I was not desperate. I was waiting upon the Lord (in His timing) for Him to bring me the right woman who would be my compliment in all things. In fact, I now believe that your true soul mate from God will include each other's weaknesses in complimenting one another because the other would have a strength to help that other person's weakness. Anyways, in time, I was contacted thru Christian Soul Mates from a loving Christian woman from Brazil. I had flown out to meet her in 2010. Since that time, we have seen each other many times. The focus of our relationship is the Lord and in pleasing Him. We enjoy each other's company greatly. We make each other laugh and we care for one another deeply. She is my best friend. This is what we value most about our relationship. We are now planning to marry this year and to have a family later in time.
In fact, I even told her once that if by some chance we were to meet later in life when we were older (And in wheel chairs) I still would want to marry her (And I meant that deeply from the heart).
So any time you want to apologize would be nice.

The idea that you need to disconnect from friends of the opposite gender at marriage is ridiculous!
Many of the young women with whom I was friends before marriage are now, with their husbands, mutual friends of my wife.
and many of the young men with whom she was friends before marriage age now, with their wives, mutual friends of mine.

Aww I apologise if I was harsh, turns out you actually have a life congratulations on the engagement
congratulations on the engagement
But just to let you know, I would still have a life regardless if I was engaged, or married. For my life is in Christ. That is the one of whom I aim to please every day. He is my focus and my everything and not the pleasures of this world.
I am not talking about socializing with women for gospel or business related reasons obviously or to help them if they are hurt and or suffering. But to call or visit a bunch of girls and be friends with them personally while you are married just to be friendly is not appropriate. What I mean by being friendly is defined as sharing in the same type of relationship and love and intimacy that you share with your wife. No, and I am not talking about kissing or sex, either.
