When you’re getting to know someone there is an appropriate and an inappropriate way of touching him/her.
What you see below is the best way to get to know someone you are romantically interested in. Within the Single, Ready & Waiting book, this is referred to as “The Hands-Off Approach.”
As hard as it can be to do, especially when there is a strong attraction, it’s definitely not impossible. First, you’ve got to choose your focus. If you are tired of getting into relationships with people who are not in your lane or going in your lane pay close attention to what matters most; the words that come out of his/her mouth. (And I’m not talking about a man who whispers sweet nothings in a woman’s ear..lol) I’m talking about a real conversation. You know, the one’s where you ask real questions like: “where do you see yourself in the next 3 years or what are your beliefs,” etc.
Second, don’t settle for Mr. or Miss Filler. Look, if you’re at a place in your life where you’re ready to meet and marry “the one” please don’t mess this up by allowing your flesh to take the lead with someone who is simply a “temporary filler”. This is basically someone you are allowing to fill someone else’s spot, and that someone else is “the one” you are truly waiting for, but you choose to settle and use Mr. or Miss filler because your current need for affection is much greater than your willingness to wait.
Wait until the “Transition into Courtship.” This is that wonderful stage where you know that you know that you’ve both found “the one” (they are not Mr or Miss Filler..lol) and you’re ready to begin courting. And when you do, you’ll get to enjoy the most meaningful and purposeful hug you will ever have with that special someone you intend on marrying.
Is courtship old school? I don’t think so.
“Give me that old time religion” it was good enough for me!
