well im a great Christian girl and my bf is a great Christian boy and we have been best friends for a while know and have liked each other on and off for a long time too. now that we are actually dating we both agree it feels just like we have been dating a loong time and perphaps just started the part of the relationship where we kiss and stuff? anyway since dating we have been kissing and holding hands and i was wondering are there certain things God doesnt approve of when dating? besides having sex (we both agreed strongly not too and i have an abstinence ring anyway :]) and not cheating? i mean i know we should have respect for ourselves and not go really fast and stuff like that but is there anything about what you should and shouldn't do?? thanks so much!
Your parents would probably say anything beyond a close mouthed kiss is a sin.
Among those who actually have a shred of intelligence who strive to maintain virginity, generally its agreed anything that goes with "sex" or "intercourse" is out. So, oral sex, vaginal sex, anal sex.
A priest would probably tell you to keep your clothes on and his hands on top of them.
Personally I dont believe in abstinence. In that vein I will simply tell you to keep an open mind and when you decide you actually do want to have sex (husband, whatever) remember that sex is a beautiful thing to be enjoyed and explored. Too many girls I know who are religious and afraid of sex, even in their married lives.

(including the abstinence ring) I think that you need to have a heart to heart with God. Although there are many ways to get around the "intercourse" part of sex, will you really feel right as a christian, bending the rules? Ephesians 5 says that even a hint of sexual immorality can prevent us from being the good christians we should be. [ enchantedenigma's advice column | Ask enchantedenigma A Question ]
