How to Date Like a Pro

What does a healthy dating relationship look like? Have you been bombarded with people asking you about your dating life? Questions associated with dating can create confusion, overwhelming pressure, and anxiety. Take a deep breath and relax! The good news is, you can filter these questions through the Holy Spirit by using a few simple guidelines. The most important is, does this person love Jesus? Next is, can you laugh and have fun together? Is this person willing to set and maintain healthy boundaries? Finally, can you clearly communicate with each other? If you can answer these questions with a yes and you’re seeking a relationship with that handsome guy or gorgeous lady then ask them out! Don’t hide behind technology for fear of rejection but have a face-to-face conversation. If you’re looking at taking the next step in your relationship, here are a few other points to consider. Can you see yourself living with this person for the rest of your life? Are you both committed to hearing God’s voice and sharing the same values? As you talk and learn and grow together, are you willing to continue walking side-by-side? You have a choice whether to marry each other or not! If you are struggling to make a decision, seek WISE counsel from someone who has been there. Healthy dating, like everything else in life, is about bringing your choices into alignment with God’s Kingdom. If you are operating within healthy boundaries AND listening to Holy Spirit, it’s going to work out just fine.
