getting back to the point, is there a Bible verse that says you should not "date" a person anymore if you are sure you won't marry them? No, but I think if you are being convicted of this in the first place, it is the Holy Spirit. You should listen to Him. Now, like I was, you might probably feel sorry for that person because the two of you talked about marrying and everything and got your hopes all up, but you realized, it just isn't going to work. Maybe she (assuming you are a male) is into it more than you are now, and she is putting forth all she has, even sexually, but you still think it is no good. Then brother, you need to leave her and let her go. Realize that the two of you being together is a sin and move on. You are just getting her hopes up for nothing. But it isn't just her hopes. If she continues to date you despite the fact that you have talked about not wanting to marry her anymore, then she is not caring about your feelings, and is just trying harder. Even if you did get married at this point, I do not think you can just ignore that for the rest of your lives together. For the rest of your lives together. For the rest of your lives together. It is hard to pull off a bandaid when it is on your hair, but the best way is quick. Otherwise, you might just leave it hanging there, and think of how silly that would look and disgusting. The bandaid that is... But Scripture does say we should be wise and want wisdom. The idea of dating really doesn't come up in the bible in the same way that we americans think it does. Taking a girl from the Jewish high school to the prom probably did not happen either. When they married, they married to start a family, because of family business reasons, faith reasons, obligation, and maybe sometimes love. But I really do not see that last reason in the end. Jacob married 2 women, one because he had to, and the other because he loved her. But hey, he did not break up with Leah or divorce her did he? Who knows. I think you should be single. It honestly will help you get your life straightened out and then you can think about this whole stupid ordeal once you have your head on straight again. You are probably broken hearted, jaded, disillusioned, and feeling like you do not know where you are at. But the thing that I am trying to do, and maybe you should too, is figure out where you are supposed to be. Forget about a relationship until you know where you are supposed to be, then go for that. She will also continue to live, and maybe, meet and marry the person who she is supposed to marry. But who is to say. Who cares really? You need to worry about your own life. That is all I have to say about that. Which is a lot more than I thought I would.
