    Christian Dating#5: Had sex before marriage.

    Agreed. Are we also going to hang bloody sheets off the balcony on the morning of the wedding night?

    Thank you again. My two observant friends have been supportive. One of them always says the same as you do about the sacraments, especially the Eucharist. The thing that hurt me in this whole story was my mother's reaction. She found it necessary to give me the dirtiest look and grimace she...

    Don't worry, I think he already changed his mind. :D I haven't heard from him since after the conversation. I actually prayed exactly for that - if he is the wrong guy for me then I'd rather not hear from him at all anymore.

    Would you date...

    I know someone who used to do ecstasy in his twenties but moved on years ago. Now he likes to go on Christian retreats and prays a lot. I'd date him if there was interest.

    I like the Church of England. I go to this one Episcopal church in NYC when I have the money for the toll and gas. They have insightful sermons. Anglican church music is heavenly. I was honestly surprised to hear what that priest told me about premarital sex. I believe that God looks at...

    Not sure what any of the above has to do with my post. LOTF did have good advice.

    Christian Dating#4: Bad Christian Dates

    Dunno... I had a date with a Christian guy. The date did not lead to anything but he was a great guy and I have nothing bad to say about him. There were no expectations other than both of us being polite.

    CCHIPSS, Thanks for your feedback. I don't have much faith in this situation to be truthful. I'm 35, he is 2 years younger, and that's another issue all in itself. We can keep hanging out but it won't be a huge shock and end of the world for me if it doesn't last. On the one hand, the...

    Okay I told him. He said he was brought up that way (I knew that) and understands. He wants us to go on and see what happens. The date's on. I'm surprised. I expected the phone to get hung up on me.

    Dating Christian Style?

    Christians would go to each other's church and coffee hour as a date?

    I once mentioned this issue to an Episcopalian priest. To which he said that the Episcopal Church does not view sex outside of marriage as a sin. My jaw dropped. LOL.

    I see lots of Orthodox Christians who go to church, baptize kids etc. but comfortably live in sin. There are those who do not but I only know few of them personally and not closely. I understand that every man answers for himself etc., but more of a fellowship would be helpful. My two...

    These situations would be easier for me if I had a support network. But I don't have much of it. My family are non-believers. Both of my parents cohabitate with their partners (they're divorced). Of my friends, only two are abstaining believers. Even at church, people cohabitate. One lady...

    That's exactly how I see it. Okay thanks everyone for your answers.

    Not at all, I just feel that it's fair to him to be up front about something like this from the beginning, since I know he expects sex in a relationship even if he is made to wait for a bit.

    Okay so I met this guy. We had a wonderful first date and he's interested. I'm interested too. We made plans for a second date this weekend. From the things he said it was clear that to him, sex is part of a relationship. So I have to break it down to this guy that I can't go to bed with a...
