I KISSED DATING GOODBYE (EXCERPTS) PART 2
Hints
1) Friendship is about something other than the two people, something other than the two friends being together. The key to friendship is a common goal or object on which both companions focus. As soon as the two people involved focus on the relationship (intimacy), it has moved beyond friendship.
2) Include others (i.e. friends, family, or strangers) instead of isolating yourselves with just one person.
3) Seek opportunities to serve, not to be entertained.
Early stages of Attraction
In the early stages of attraction, when you have a difficult time remaining clearheaded, , think of an imaginary dialogue; something like this:
Q: What's you relationship to this woman?
A: She's a sister in Christ whom I'm instructed to treat with absolute purity.
Q: Exactly! She's not just a pretty face or a potential wife!
A: No, she's a child of God. God has a plan for her. He's shaping her and molding her into something special.
Q: So, what is your responsibility to her?
A: My responsibility is to make sure I don't get in the way of what God is doing. I should encourage her to keep her focus and dependence on God.
Q: Okay, good. Now to whom is your second responsibility?
A: My second responsibility is to the people around me.
Q: Why do you have to care what they think?
A: Because I have a responsibility to keep the unity of the group, to model the love of Jesus to outsiders, and to set an example for other believers.
Q: And your primary responsibility is to God. Correct?
A: Exactly. I am responsible to keep my way pure, serve others as Christ did, and love my neighbor as myself.
