Differences between online and traditional dating

As stated before, during this time there should be little or no physical contact, as this is something that should wait until marriage (1 Corinthians -20).Courtship takes the position that the two people have no physical contact at all (no touching, no hand-holding, no kissing) until marriage.

Traditional dating relationships that might take months to develop in the real world, take weeks or even days online.

Much has been written about cyber-dating, but little research has been done.

Question: "What is the difference between dating and courting?

" Answer: Dating and courtship are two methods of beginning relationships with the opposite sex.

(See Proverbs 3:5–7.) Courtship is a choice to avoid temptation and experience the blessings of purity.

It is a choice to not emotionally give away your heart, piece by piece, to many others through casual dating relationships and instead to give your whole heart to your life partner.An e-mail with strong emotional words (e.g., excited, wonderful) led to more positive impressions than an e-mail with fewer strong emotional words (e.g., happy, fine) and resulted in nearly three out of four subjects selecting the e-mailer with strong emotional words for the fictitious dater of the opposite sex.Results for self-disclosure e-mails were complex, but indicate that levels of self-disclosure led to different impressions.(See II Corinthians 5:7, Psalm , Romans , Psalm 13, and I John 4:8.) Because each individual, family, and set of circumstances is unique, each courtship will be unique.While those who choose courtship will hold to general guidelines for the relationship, their specific choices about when, where, and how to court may differ according to their needs and circumstances.” After ransacking my own experiences and discussing with my girlfriends over endless bottles of wine, it all comes down to seven differences.
