NeedleinA Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 My wife and I will be speaking to the YW & YM this week about dating. Our part of the presentation deals with, "What do you do at the door after you date?". I'm always hesitate in sharing our personal story since we met when we were 16yrs old and ended up lip locking on our first date at the door. We tend to be the "exception to the rule, not the rule" as far as high school sweet hearts sticking together go, so I don't want to give false hope or encourage youth to do deep exclusive dating either. So, what would you share? If you were presenting this to your own youth, what would you suggest? If you are currently dating what do you do? We have ideas, but we would love to hear your thoughts!! Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very disappointed in both of you. Do your current bishops know your past "infractions"? Immediate excommunication for you both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 @Vort Yep that's about how I remember them. Of course at my age, that's probably really what they would look like. Vort, unixknight and NeedleinA 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay Sunday21... what is the party line? You are not getting off that easy 1 hour ago, Eowyn said: Knuckles and a wave. I never kissed on the first date, and that's the truth! Is this backhanded knuckles showing like the Queen of England wave OR balled up fist knuckles and wave? 3 hours ago, Vort said: A firm handshake and a quick, non-lingering pat on the back. This is probably the closest that I would tell my own kids, especially if I had a blonde haired daughter! Thank you everyone for all the funny comments... now you can see why my wife and I are like..."uuuhhh? what do we really say?" In all seriousness, I think Vort & Eowyn are the closest to our initial thoughts. Something to the effect of, the date is over at that point, so don't drag it out. Let them know you had a good time (assuming you did), shake their hand, "good night" and walk away. Sunday21 and Backroads 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
