Always remember and let the following be your guide in dating and having relationships. But as what I said, DON'T RUSH!
PRINCIPLES OF GODLY DATING
Principle #1: SPIRITUAL UNITY
One of the biggest mistakes Christian singles make is dating non-believers. Many singles get so desperate in their search for "the One" they compromise in this most crucial area of spiritual compatibility. The Bible clearly says believers shouldn't date or marry someone who is not a fellow Christ-follower (2 Corinthians 6:14-15; 1 Corinthians 7:39). If you're in a dating relationship with someone who isn't a Christian, then you are outside of God's will for your life.

Principle #2: SEXUAL PURITY
We live in a sexually saturated society. It seems like everyone these days is either having sex or at least talking about every detail of their sex lives. Despite the increased openness to discussing sex, people are still not satisfied with the end result."The fire of lust's pleasures (including pornography in any kind) must be fought with the fire of God's pleasures. If we try to fight the fire of lust with prohibitions and threats alone - even the terrible warnings of Jesus - we will fail. We must fight it with a massive promise of superior happiness and by growing in your relationship and being rooted with Jesus.

Principle #3: ROCK-SOLID CHARACTER
Relationship expert Dr. Henry Cloud says, "In a relationship, we are attracted to what we see on the outside - someone's looks and personality; but in a long-term relationship, what we end up experiencing is what's on the inside - their character. Character Matters. Respect Matters.

Principle #4: TIME
DON'T RUSH. DON'T RUSH. DON'T RUSH. It takes time to get to know what someone is really like. It takes time to see if someone has what it takes to be a partner for life. If you're rushing things, then you're playing Russian Roulette with your love life. Dating is fun. Dating is a pain. But make no mistake about it, dating and thinking of having a relationship is ONE SERIOUS matter.
