Ok my idea of dating is spending time with your bf/gf, sitting together, and always in a group setting. I don't believe that I should hold hands or have too much physical contact because it can lead to temptation. Could people pllease give me an idea of what a normal dating relationship is.

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.

When I had a gf, we spent loads of time together, sometimes in a group setting, sometimes just us. We spent a lot of time around family which I really liked. We held hands all the time, and I liked holding her just sitting on the couch watching a movie. I wasn't too concerned about most physical contact. I mean, there's always some kind of temptation, but you have to exercise some self-control at some point. We did, however, have less physical contact at church just to try and keep our focus on other people rather than exclusively on each other.
I took her out to eat on occasion and bought her roses at all the standard times, although I would have done it more if I hadn't just been working part time. We went to the movies, we went to the beach. We'd eat Sunday lunch with one of our families and then she'd be kind enough to watch the football game with me even though she didn't really care for the sport.
All in all, we did what normal friends do. At some point we realized our attraction for each and the fact that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. Then we held hands and held each other and kissed in addition to stuff that normal friends do.

There is no "normal" in dating as it is basically what the individual couple makes of it based on their morals and beliefs.

For me a date is a meeting with the purpose to get to know each other and with the goal to begin a relationship.
What you do is dependent on what you want and how you are. It doesn't help, if you don't feel well with kissing and more and you would do it anyway. So don't do it and hope, that your date feels the same and has the same ideas about a possible relationship.

Courting is truly being friends and getting to know a person before you marry them :0
