I absolutely loved and agreed with IKDG wholeheartedly, and BMG is very good, even though it doesn't apply to my situation as of yet. But, yeah, IKDG really changed my perspective. Before, my mind knew that courting/dating or whatever term you want to give it, that is, purposeful, God-honoring relationships were the way to go, but I was kind of jealous of "recreational dating". Now I'm totally into courting/dating/w.t.y.w.t.g.i. :-D So, that's the main gist if it, sorry to rattle on. Both books are wonderful, highly recommended to all you random folks who might read this post! Ok, read IKDG (I just finished it two days ago) and am now in the middle of BMG.

This one is hilarious!! Yet very sobering. I read the books, they are amazing and life changing. They have been big in helping to shape my convictions and standards for relationships, even tho' I have never dated/courted.....yet :)!! I've read IKDG a bunch of times and I often recommend it to friends. Keep up the good work Bret and Alex. God bless you! Psalm 84:11!!! These comics are great! This one is hilarious!!

It's very encouraging to see that there are so many other christian teenagers out there. I have not read IKDG, but I've read Boy Meets Girl, and I agree very much with y'all's older brother. I prefer not to say "dating" or "courting", because neither term really describes the type of relationship I'm used to. Most of the young couples I know grew up knowing each other, started liking each other romantically when they were about 13, and became better and better friends until they eventually fell in love and married. a few of them married after meeting at college and becoming very good friends first. In fact, my cousin met his wife at PHC and they are now happily married with a baby on the way. I personally think that until we're totally ready for a commitment, we need to work on just being friends. I personally am not ready to have a "boyfriend", or anything of the sort. I believe that if you don't think you could end up marrying the person who wants to be your bf/gf, there's no point in pursuing a relationship that will only end up in broken hearts and regret for ever entering the relationship in the first place. I also have a few questions about that sort of thing; I no longer have a big bro. to ask that sort of stuff. I'll e-mail with the other questions Love in Christ, Stephanie lol! these comics are very good, but I do believe I’ve gotten more out of the comments then the actual comics themselves!

They're really GREAT and I'm glad I read them early on my teen years. In relationships with the opposite sex, I really agree with your brother that it's best to just have a healthy brotherly relationship with them. It's easier to be who you are when there aren't any "romantic tugging" within the relationship. Song of Solomon says do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. I believe that entering a romantic relationship can wait. Let's just let God do the maneuvering of our life--romantic especially. It's just sad that many people actually think that the sole purpose of their life is to find their "soul mate." I could only shake my head in disbelief. Being single is really precious and I'm thankful for it. I think it's one of God's best gift ever! I really love God's gift of singleness that I actually asked God if I can just be single for the rest of my life. But of course, married or single for life, His will be done. =) Teens, love being single! =) Don't let people pressure you. To be single is amazing!

I'm only 13, but I'm psyched for when I get older to start courtship. I'm so I glad I know about 'cuz I was NOT looking forward to dating. Boy meets girl is an excellent book.
