Dating Does Not Mean Hanging Out!
Something
that I have heard a ton lately in conference has been about the difference
between dating and hanging out. I have
always distinguished this in my mind but I am not always the most up to date
person either. Nowadays people get together
and hang out. They just hang out, which
could mean anything. But a date is when
a person asks another person out and then they go do this. It is a formal thing. Honestly as I have been looking at things to
write this post I have really thought about how this applies to singles but it
really applies to married people as well.
My wife always says that I never plan dates anymore. In my mind we go on a date every week but it’s
usually going out to dinner and getting a movie or going and seeing a
movie. I think what she really means is
that she wants me to take her on a date. Just going to dinner and watching a movie
sounds an awful lot like hanging out. I
mean before I was married I had a few friends that were girls and when we hung
out we would go get food or watch a movie or both. So you have to ask the other person…It’s a formal
thing. If you don’t make it formal then
you have no way of knowing if it’s a date or hanging out. I think people have gotten lazy and/or scared
and so they try to make due with just kind of making their way in. You have to make it formal that is what makes
it a date. If you still don’t understand
take a look at some of these videos of apostles and their wives talking about
how they met and how they dated!
