Dating

For many, figuring out the dating scene is wading through pretty murky waters.  Here's a good message on the whole realm of relationships, dating, courting, and so forth.

Takeaway points:

- Men, take initiative. 
- Women, don't have unrealistic expectations in what you're looking for in a husband (i.e. handsome, financially-secure, not a sinner, comfortable with children, speaks in poetry).  Don't have expectations that are too low (breathing and interested).
- Men, look at the women who are serving right in front of you.  Don't miss someone just because she might not fit the "profile" you were expecting.
- Women, a date is not the same as dating.  Don't put undue pressure on some early opportunities to get to know someone.
- Men and women, don't pursue a relationship with someone who isn't growing in closeness with Jesus.  It's not enough if someone says, "I'm a Christian."  Watch for the trajectory of their life.
