Date with intent for marriage with family involved... anything and everything else is a waste of time and emotions. Yes, I'm that old fashioned, but marriage seemed to last a lot longer back then.
Maybe someone will get this... Looks up, hands and arms in the air, shouts out TRADITION!
Got to love musicals!

In my opinion I think dating should be approached as the possibly of marrying the person one day. If you're just dating to find out what you like, you'll never get married then. Because finding out what we truly like is a life long process, and only God can show us that. Not another human being. But God can provide someone to grow with. And find out what you two like together.

Which is exactly how dating should be approached in an ideal situation. But we're still human too. People will make mistakes, and people still have a choice in the end, that's not an excuse to by unwise, but an invitation to understanding. Some people like the idea of always having somebody, there's nothing wrong with that. Some people approach dating more cautiously, some more casually. Any view anyone has on dating has its good points and bad points.
The only view I disagree with is finding "the one", I did believe in this idea until a couple people here convinced me otherwise. The idea of seeking God's one single mate for you is simply being dating focused and masking it as being God focused. If God does have a single person for you you won't have to ask, you won't have to worry about it. If you're mind is so focused on God's will and His heart is your passion, whether or not you find "the one" will not be your concern.

I think as Christians we treat each other first as brothers and sisters in Christ, and first love each other in that sense with respect towards one another, and that means being selfless and honouring others.
Jesus should be your first love relationship, if you cant commit, obey, love, honour, serve, cherish, spend time with your God, you more than likely wont succeed in doing those things with another person for the rest of your life. Our responsibility is to ensure we can play our part, not to find someone to make us 'happy' or 'complete' because for the christian, joy and completion come through Christ alone. Thus giving us no reason or excuse to 'fall out of love' 10 or 20 years later and justify divorce. Jesus, for the christian is and always will be everything they need. It takes that kind of maturity to be able to be in a marriage relationship, and dating, like most of you already mentioned, should be approached with the intention of marriage.
If your walking with Christ and He has your WHOLE heart...then don't worry..He will give it to the right person. You will know and understand His will for your life.
