dating

Here's the cold hard truth on Christian dating: it's hard!
In the world it's so easy to get into a relationship. You like someone, they like you back, you start seeing each other. When you're a Christian - you like someone, they're focusing on God, you realise you should be too.
Honestly, I'm not trying to sound up myself but if I wanted a worldly relationship I think I'd be able to get one fairly easily, and quickly. I know because I've done it numerous times. Whereas Christian dating, I haven't done. But it's what I want. I'm not complaning that I can't get a 'date', because I'm not worried about that. I just wanted to point out the such obvious difficulties of Christian and non-Christian dating.
Though Christian dating is harder to get into - it's more likely to end on good terms, if it even ends at all. Probably most of the Christians I know (whether in relationships or not) plan on marrying their boyfriend/girlfriend. However when it comes to non-Christian dating, it's so easy to get into - but a lot of people aren't planning on or even wanting to ever marry their boyfriend/girlfriend. Not saying all non-Christians date without the intention of marriage to their partner, I'm not even saying half - just a lot - that I know of personally.
These relationship types are a lot like the Christianity walk itself: you can either choose the hard, long road - which in the end has the best outcome: heaven; or you can choose the easy road with the worst outcome: hell. I know which path I'm choosing.
