“Dating”

First dates, love notes, romance, there are so many different approaches to how it should be done. Christians are often told to avoid the hookup culture that is so common today, but beyond that, what should they do?

Dear CMR,

I've been getting to know a guy for the last few months and I have done my best to show him I am interested in dating. Why hasn't he asked me out yet? Am I doing something wrong?

Interested In Him

Dear CMR,

I recently started considering online dating but it feels intimidating. Can you give me any advice that will make it easier to find a person worth getting to know?

Signed, New To This

Dear CMR,

I am single.  Some of my dating friends recently told me that when I meet “the right person,” I'll just know they are right for me. I've heard that advice before, but is it true?

"So, if my son has a bad game am I just going to go throttle on him and lay on more after the game. That's not what he needs to hear. He kind of needs to hear the 'I love you no matter what.' That's important to show like 'I love you when you do well' and 'I love you when you do bad' because my love is not indicative of your results. That is really important for a child to hear that. Like, 'I love you no matter what, okay?'

Should a person ever date just to learn how to date? Dr. Tim Muehlhoff examines the idea of casual dating and why simply learning how to do it well can benefit you.

Are the two of you compatible? Will this person be a good fit for you? We are often asked this question and our advice is simple: get to know yourself first. Rather than asking about the other person, it is important to know yourself well first. Learn why that is the case!
