Which books of the Bible would you recommend me to read when it comes to dating? I do not know how to deal or talk with girls at all. My ex told me that I do not know what I am doing when it comes to dating. I have not been taught by my parents. I believe parents these days do not teach their children enough. I have no true friends. Even Christians my age do not like me. Only the old people actually like me and care about me. I do not know what to do.<\/p>\n\t
I use the first three chapters of\u00a0the Song of Solomon<\/a>\u00a0and Proverbs 31<\/a> to teach about dating and the rest of Proverbs to teach about how to relate to other people, which dating is one aspect of relations.<\/p>\n Friendship and dating are topics that are easier to address in person where the give and take of conversation can tailor the information to your own situation. If you, or a group of Christians, want to come for a week of intensive study on this topic or if you would like me to come and teach on these things, you are welcome to contact me and make arrangements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Question: Which books of the Bible would you recommend me to read when it comes to dating?
