You’re fine, Searching. Some people don’t believe in any kind of touching, except perhaps holding hands, until engagement or marriage. And I think they’re right.
Innocent, perhaps of sinful sexual acts.So, you feel the OP is using that particular definition in both the thread title and the question.
Of course you want to. We all do!I couldn’t be in a relationship that involves no touching. Might as well just be a friendship if there’s no expression of affection.
I want to cuddle, kiss.
As far as I'm concerned, it isn't a romantic relationship unless one actually does those things. Regardless of label, it's really just a good friendship if the partners don't act romantically affectionate to each other in demonstration of it being more than that.
Of course you want to. We all do!
But, face it... that's only the appetizer.
And if you're honest, you'll admit it's very hard to stop eating with only the appetizer, if you're very hungry.
But... if it's sin to commit fornication (which it is) then playing around getting yourself aroused is asking for temptation.
The Word says, "Make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill it in the lusts thereof."
Don't play around at the edge of a cliff, to see if you can keep from falling off.

I don’t know what you’re saying.Makes me think of all the possible surprises you can get when waiting that long to see whats poppin.
I don’t know what you’re saying.
Well that’s silly. You can get to know someone just fine without getting physical.I think he's saying you could discover your new bride is actually a new groom, or has certain severe hang-ups in regards to physical intimacy.
If the Lord leads me to marry a woman, and she believes she can handle physical intimacy but turns out to have problems with it once married, that is the Lord’s will for me and I accept it.
As Christians we are called to trust the Lord’s judgement more than our own.

Well the Lord wants us to have childlike faith, and children are often called naive. So thank you.Saying you would just simply accept it as the Lord's will sounds incredibly naive.
