Respect and honor is something we should show to everyone. <br /><br />I am not saying that we should seclude ourselves from everybody in the opposite gender. Goodness, no! The Bible says to go into the world, not seclude ourselves from it.<br /><br />Of course, we all know people of the opposite gender. We are supposed to be friendly. I am not saying the friendships are wrong, only that, in our friendships it is best to be careful.<br /><br />Likewise, there is a difference between dating and friendships. You can be friends and not be dating, right? <br /><br />I am trying very hard to see it from your point of view Keeneye. If I misunderstood you again, then please forgive me and perhaps elaborate. Danke!Storyteller SilverLoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10534851653668916838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321974695988398105.post-59407752875394794752010-02-06T20:17:55.767-05:002010-02-06T20:17:55.767-05:00Great post again :)

Your future mate should have every bit of the gift God has given you to give."<br /><br />A friendship of any sort is an emotional connection. Is this wrong? NO. That's honorable. Keeping things as a deep friendship, treating each other with respect and honor. The man should protect the woman's heart and body while still loving her. But he is not forbidden to love her. Love has many levels. Judge a person before letting them into your deep circle. You should be able to tell who will protect you and who will seek to harm you. <br /><br />But I agree. Dating for fun is dumb. It will crush you and hurt you. I'm against most cases of teen dating. Simply because it is unneeded pain. But I think there are some who remain honorable.Nathan R.
