When I was an early adolescent, my mother gave me a couple books on morality of dating and such. Well anyway she made me read them, I think one of them was I kissed dating good bye, maybe not, I don't remember.

But I remember reading in the book that he said the best kind of relationship was when you have known the person since childhood, As you get older you start to hang out then that turns to casual dating, while you take things slow that finally turns into love and you get married.

So my question is that how many of you acquire dates like that. I mean by being good friends since childhood then slowly turn that into romance.

My question is based on the fact that I have never done that. I usually end up dating people who I did not know until I asked them on a date.

If that was the best way to find a spouse, I'd be out of luck because there's no one from my childhood that's good marriage material for me!

Be careful when reading anything other than the Bible when seeking how to live your life. Nowhere in the Bible does it say exactly how we are to meet our spouse. Everyone's story is so different and that is how it should be because God's creative.

If you will read the author of I Kissed Dating Goodbye, Joshua Harris's next book, Boy Meets Girl, he says he was mistaken when he thought his story would play out that way. He actually ended up marrying a girl he'd only known a couple of years before!

Guys.... this post formed in July 2009. At least half of the people that responded are not even members of the site any longer. Kcat... Chopsui is banned as of August 2009.
Tip, if you look at the top left of each post, it tells you when that individual post was put up.

I do have one friend i'd consider dating but i am in a place now where i haven't anything to offer her for one,and two..not sure if being her friend for so long has me 'friendzoned'. Not that God's not bigger than any 'zone'..right?

Depending on how you're defining "nothing to offer her" I would say why not let her make that decision? I know a lot of us guys get hung up on male pride because we don't have a big income, but there are a lot of women that look beyond our ability to provide a fancy house and cars and are more concerned with our non-financial qualities such as our heart for God, our ability to lovingly lead, and other things.

I dated 2 totally different guys last year. Met both at church. Guy #1 was a month 1/2 earlier in the year and guy #2 4 months later for 3 1/3 months, which I regretted. With both of them, I didn't know them very well before we just jumped in a relationship, which is not the smartest thing to do. And the fact that they were both casual and short relationships made me realize that God was protecting me and let me know that both were not who God had for me as a husband.

until i graduated it worked like this: See a cute girl at a party or at the dining hall,go up introduce myself, and ask them if you should pick them up for a movie thursday night or sometimes friday....surprisingly effective
