I don't think so at all. I agree if he asks, then yes. But what if the girl asks? Why should a guy be required to pay for a date then? And what about a...
Well, I'm not saying we shouldn't pursue marriage, I'm just saying speed dating is a bad way to do it. Like I said, I prefer to get to know someone as a...
I think I pretty much explained why I'm against matchmaking services elsewhere in this thread, so I won't bother to repeat myself, unless you have a specific...
The other scenario to consider is, what if I'm not even interested in her romantically, but I'm just agreeing to have dinner with her as a friend? I certainly...
What about the thought that speed dating would just get you to meet people you wouldn't have normally met? You can tell a lot about a person in a few minutes....
... matchmaking ... much ... with? Well, it's kind of both. I mean, sure, in speed dating, you're not actually spending that much time at the actual speed...
Well I have never been to this point in a relationship to have this conversation but my take is this. It is the matter of the heart it was given. I love that a...
Ahhh, engagement rings. Well, my only take on this is that the less I can get away with spending on an engagement ring without her thinking I'm a cheap guy,...
How do you know it's not time? I think often times we use "not time" as a cop-out. If we get so close minded to not dating we may miss the person that God puts...
Wow...I just told someone tonight this theory of mine; since you ladies are looking to date in order to find a good husband, might as well make sure I can be...

Here I go emerging from the shadows again. So I was thinking this past weekend. Why don't we all just meet up somewhere so we can put names with faces? Does...
Hey All, It helps me to understand an issue if I can argue the otherside, hence my contrary emails:-). If you'll indulge me......I totally agree that as...
All right, sounds like a little clarification is in order. I have plenty of male "pals" with whom I frequently hang out. Sometimes the pal suggests an outing,...
Your email reads as though you're a little "put-off" by the question. Forgive me. That was not my intent. I sinerely wanted to know what your scriptural...
A good friend of mine has signed up for E-Harmony and though she hasn't found her future spouse on it and is ready for her membership to be over with, she is...
I think being educated in relationships and Christian marriages is going to take care of a lot of the things you need to know about dating. You present...
....just for clarification...my comment regarding a girl asking a guy out, the context that that was written was if a couple started dating, not the initial...
Okay, then it sounds like my "whoever asks pays" rule doesn't really contradict anyone here. If we're only applying it to the case where the guy is asking the...
Well, the thing is, like I said, I'm not trying to change anyone's opinion, so if you disagree with my scriptural support, I have no interest in getting into a...
I think you expressed the "Pro-dating service" side eloquently. The benefits you listed were all real, especially the one about stepping up to the plate. The...
Hey, Jeff! Thanks for posting this! I think this is a great idea, and I would love to do something like this... if I wasn't going to be in California this...
Thank you! :o) Haven't heard much response from the guys yet...maybe this is their secret that they don't want to let out. :o) Jen JJ <dutch_girl03@...>...

Excellent! Glad to hear you were not "put off:-)" Although, I do hope you change your mind about entering debates! You're a man of logic capable of adding a...
I had more questions in my response, not just the general speed dating questions. Anyway, it's all good, it was a while ago now I hardly remember the...
