^^ What I have found difficulty in trying to walk a Christian path while seeing one woman is wanting to 'express desire'. Yes we know that we are red blooded men who want sex and companionship, and we may have built up some pretty strong self control. What I struggle with is wanting to show my desire. Imagine a secular or Christian woman, they want to feel wanted. They want to know that you truly want them and you aren't just sexually dead. In a way I have wanted to show this, and they wanted to know it.
I honestly have no idea how anyone who is trying to walk the devout path can date unless you are with another believer. It seems impossible. And then once you have a believer and you are a match you just want to go marry and bang.
And there is your answer. I have been around devout Christians for about 20 years of my life, and only an actual believer myself for about 5. When non-Christians and the saved date it usually turns out poorly. They are playing by different sets of rules.
Examples 1 and 2. Christian college girls that 'dated' their non christian work supervisors...they were pumped and dumped like the rest.
Example 3. A milf newcomer to a church dates an attractive unmarried much younger christian man. She keeps trying to bang him and he refuses for a while, then gives in. He regrets it and breaks up with her.
Example 4. An intelligent unmarried christian woman falls for a well travelled, exotic, tattooed mystery man (perhaps known as Doc Howard). She explains that she cannot bang until marriage. Mystery secular man cannot even fathom that given how the 'game' goes. He cheats on her, breaks up with her
Example 5. Girl breaks up with boyfriend and commits to a 20 something Christian man. The man has a no bang rule, standard protestant protocol. The girl is not Christian, she eventually finds the Christian man's rules annoying and cheats on him.
Christians in dating have sideboards and rules, secular people date in an apocalyptic free for all. Its like taking an american football player and an aussie rules football player and telling them that they are going to play a game of football together.
Despite how clear this is, temptation always makes us think the grass is greener on the other side and Christian's have this desire to date the secular and vice versa.
