I just read an article by Tim Holland entitled I Kissed Dating Goodbye, But Where Did It Go? It talks about the I Kissed Dating Goodbye frenzy in the 90's that many of us good (read insecure) Christian kids were suckered into. Holland talks about how he could have used a little push to kick into gear with the opposite sex and how by abstaining for so long and not going through all the awkwardness in the years he was supposed to, he has turned into an insecure 20 something.
I think a lot of us can relate.
I guess you could say I kissed dating goodbye. I was too self righteous to engage in something so unspiritual as acknowledging my hormones and attraction to the opposite sex. So I chose to pour myself into youth group and found myself eternally stuck in friend mode when it came to girls.
I was lucky enough to meet a woman who bluntly called out my feelings and we've made it work but I can definitely see the ramifications of I kissed dating goodbye in a lot of people's lives.
What about you? What are your thoughts on the whole I kissed dating goodbye frenzy? Did you kiss dating goodbye or did you dive right in? What have the consequences been?
