DATING
Dating,
though not a part of our ethnic culture has sneaked into our minds and people
started liking it. Yes dating is desirable but how far can we go in dating
is the question. Our culture and ethics don't agree with certain things,
but dating with some limitations is fine. Dating can be in two aspects before
commitment and after commitment. Commitment means determining that you are
going to marry that person only, like getting engaged. Dos
& Don'ts
Dating
Before Commitment
1).The first and foremost is Date only the person you are seeking to get
married to.
2).With the joint permission of parents of both
3)Solely with the purpose of discovering whether he/she is the right choice.
4)Meeting at either of your houses would be better
5)If you can involve the parents to a certain extent it is good.
6)After Dating if you think that he/ she is not the right choice for you
just say it in a very diplomatic manner, something like "Hey I had
a nice time with you, but I suppose we should be thinking again about
the proposal."
Dating After Commitment
1)Desirable - But
less frequently
2)At either of your houses, (rarely) in "Public" Places with
permission of the families. (Note: "Public" Place other than
gardens, theatres)
3)Solely with the purpose of establishing rapport and planning
4)Petting to be discouraged.
Note::"The
above points are not written just like that, they have been derived from
a pre-marital counselling session."
