Received an interesting invite to do a Valentine's Day forum on BGR at a local uni with a well known lady pastor, but I think I'd have to pass this one since my views on BGR are rather unconventional. Hehehe...
Happy new year, huaizhi! Tricky question... er, in a nutshell, although I agree largely with the courtship model (aka New Attitude, Joshua Harris) esp in an increasingly promiscuous culture, I think 'dating' needs to be defined more carefully... ie i dun think going out for a movie, one on one, with a friend of the opposite sex qualifies as 'dating' if there is nothing more than platonic being communicated ler.. hehe...
Happy new year! Spoke to Soo-Inn about you yesterday ;-) ah.. I see your position.. man, realise its been some time since I thought about "Bibical dating".. must be since I got attached 4 years ago.. I remember refusing to buy Joshua Harris' 1st book, but enthusiastically getting the 2nd (Boy meets Girl).. wrt to dating, think there is a great need to differentiate culture and theology.. one weakness of Harris' stuff is that I feel it is really very America-centric.. "dating", in our Asian context seems to have a diff meaning.. though that is evolving.. :-) look fwd to meeting u one day!
It wud be a pleasure to meet you, bro... I'd probably stop over at Spore end of month on a company trip to bintan. But if we cant find the time, there'd be other chances coz my sister and bro in law now stay there w my parents... so i'd be there more often probably :)
