And that means boundaries. Time alone together is dangerous. Time alone together in an empty house is even worse. Time alone together in your bedroom is asking for trouble. Double dating, group outings, and when you are alone, making sure it is very public places can help ensure we don’t light the fuse. As Owen said, we shouldn’t be touching anything we haven’t got, nor should we be doing anything that, if we were to be interupted with no notice, we would be embarrassed by or ashamed of.

Sounds like you've got a pretty good group there, and there's certainly some real quality in the talks. A real blessing. Thanks for posting these up - I loved hearing what you had to say.

Ask me again when I'm 30. *serious again* I thoroughly enjoyed that service. Thank you.

Upon reflecting back on what Owen & I shared on Sunday night, I was worried if we came across as 'anti-dating'. We commented a few times (I think) not to 'waste your time when you know it's not really the right thing or a healthy relationship'. This doesn't mean don't date! Dating can be a really good way to learn about yourself & also the type of person you do 'click with' or don't! What we were trying to get across is not to be afraid to call it off if it really isn't working & don't get too caught up with being too serious, VERY quickly. Enjoy the dating time as it can be great fun & let the relatonship develop before your off looking at rings!! I hope that makes sense - any comments/questions? Thanks, Lynda Hi everyone!
