Some of you are aware from things I've posted that I've had a bunch of questions about relationships, and I've been trying to figure things out in that area. Well, not long ago I ran across some articles online that deal with this subject, but take a different angle on it than anything I remember being exposed to in the past. The thing is the articles are coming from a conservative type website. Because of that, when I first read them, I didn't expect to really agree or like what they were saying too much. As I was going over what I thought about them, I realized that I was mainly unsure how their ideas could be worked out, but I wasn't actually in arguing with the ideas themselves. So I'm thinking more about what they say, and considering their ideas. I decided I wanted to share them here, because I'm interested in getting feedback and having dialog with other people.

So I'm planning on posting a link to one of the articles periodically along with my reactions and questions. I realize because of the source, some people will probably write this off altogether. I also realize this tends to be a sensitive issue for people, one which is taken personally. I expect some people will strongly disagree, and that's fine. I welcome your comments, but remember, don't take things personally and play nice. Thanks!

I've grouped the articles into a few different categories. The first one has to do with defining dating, and how different people may see the same relationship differently.
