CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The boundries are whatever you feel comfortable making them. But be warned, women are very much in tune with "touch"...we like it, sometimes too much. So even holding hands can be an issue. It's harder to back off after getting in too deep than it is to show self control to begin with.

No kissing / touching. Barely even hugging. Basically, even if she brushes past me I get turned on. 
'sides, we are rarely alone together anyway. We've gone on dates, but generally we keep our relationship public. I'll explain this is anyone wants to know.

Kissing and hugging is fine but not too much of it because it can lead to lots of temptation.

Actually, I agree wholeheartedly with your way of dating. I wish I had thought of it myself back when I was young and ignorant. Group dating eliminates the need for boundries because you're never put in the position to begin with. Very smart!Spurling said:No kissing / touching. Barely even hugging.

Definitely. I've been taught to do this but it's really hard when you live really far away from your fiance and when you go to visit him 1) his parents are working full time and 2) he lives in a small town so there's nowhere to go and nothing to do. This has created a lot of temptation but God has really helped us.

I know I used to be like that before I met my fiance. I'd never been in a dating relationship before so I didn't know what it was like. I used to think that my first kiss would be at my wedding and we wouldn't hold hands until we were married. Then I met my fiance and realized just how wrong I was.

watch these chains fall from my hands
sometimes, anything can trigger the urge even a little thing like that.Blue Impulse said:
everyone has their weak moments
I suppose some do more than other though... I'm just glad I can recognise my weak moments and can appeal to God before I do something stupid.Things are pretty easy at the moment since I'm single though. well easy as far as avoiding that sort of temptation goes. Sometimes being single isn't easy! (As I'm sure most if not all of you know already anyway)

How do you define dating?
To me, going on a few dates with someone is very different than calling him your boyfriend... and a boyfriend is very different than a fiancé. So, my answer would differ depending on the definition.
