A date should matter.
Like art, a date is the pursuit of something meaningful.
A date needs to be a clear, intentional act of pursuing a relationship. What a relationship “is” matters. A proper date is the clearest way to avoid needless confusion or the ridiculousness that is constant defining-the-relationship conversations. Instead, we should be living and communicating with such conviction that a “DTR” is never needed. Most importantly, a date should matter simply because people matter. Making a date meaningful is an act of showing others their immutable value. Anything less is just selfish.
A date should be brave.
Like art, a date is risk to be embraced.
A proper date takes courage and the risk of personal investment. Many of the problems with modern dating are a result of being afraid to dive fully into the experience. Mistrust is winning out over decisiveness.
As a contrast, Christian romance should be a spectacle to behold. Our identity is in Christ, we are secure in the family of God, and we are to treat one another with a Christ like level of love, respect and sacrifice.
Freed to give and receive generous action with no thought of return, we get to and should be brave with our romantic gestures. We have opportunity (if not an obligation) to boldly show the depth of our love and vulnerability to others. Our passion for life and treatment of one another should make a statement that what you are pursuing is worthy of great personal risk. Anything less is just fearful.
