hmmm...kat's blog reminds me of this book i have called...I've Kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris
instead of telling you not to date and all the bad things about it...it gives u a totally different message...and now i think it's my fav book...at first i didn't think i would like it...but then i got really into it...here's why:

Respect the deep significance of physical intimacy
We will never undertsnad God's demand for sexual purity until we appreciate the deep spiritual and emotional implications of physical intimacy.

Many non-Christians view sex as a bodily function on the level of scratching another person's back. They engage in sex whenever and with whomever they want. While this lifestyle is an affront to biblical values, many Christians treat lesser expressions of physical intimacy with the same lack of respect. they view kissing, holding, or fondling another person as no big deal. While we may hold higher standards than our pagan neighbours, I'm afraid we, too, have lost sight of the deeper significance of sexual intimacy.

"Men tend to see the physical as more of an experience," a good female friend once told me. A girl's point of view is very different, she explained. "Kissing and 'making out' mean something very precious and deep to a woman," she said. "It is our way of giving our trust, our love, our heart to the man we love. It leaves us very vulnerable."

Physical intimacy is much more than two bodies colliding. God designed our sexuality as a physical expression of the one-ness of marriage. God guards it carefully and places many stipulations on it becuse He considers it extremely precious. A man and woman who commit theie lives to each other in marriage gain the right to express themselves sexually to each other. A husband and wife may enjoy each other's bodies because they in essence belong to each other. But if you're not married to someone, you have no claim on that person's body, no right to sexual intimacy.

Maybe you agree with this and plan to save sex for marriage. But in your opinion, you view "making out" activities such as kissing, necking, and fondling as no big deal. But we need to ask ourselves a serious question. If another person's body doesn't belong to us (that is, we're not married), what right do we have to treat the people we date any differently than a married person would treat someone who wasn't his or her spouse?

"But," you might sat, "that's completely different." Is it really? Our culture has programmed us to think that singleness grants us license to fool around, to try out people emotionally and sexually. Since we're not married to anyone in particular, we can do what we want with anyone in general.

God has a very different view. "Honor marriage, and guard the sacredness of sexual intimacy between wife and husband," He commands (Hebrews 13:4, the Message).

This honour for the sacredness of sexuality between husband and wife starts now, not just after the wedding day. Respect for the institution of marriage should motivate us to protect it from violation while we're single. We can do this by recognizing the deep significance of sexual intimacy - at any level - and refusing to steal these privileges before marriage.

okay...dat's it...hope it's useful...
