Dating

I thought I had heard every dating tip and piece of advice you can think of but it turns out that I stand corrected. In the Family: A Proclamation to the World, the First Presidency has pointed out what the different roles and responsibilities of each gender are. For men  they are to provide, preside, and protect. For women they are to nurture. what was cool for me to see was how these principles apply to the dating scene. For a guy, they are supposed to provided a means to date. Whether it be money or an idea, they are supposed to make it happen. Men are also supposed to preside, which to me means plan and see that the date is carried out. They aren't supposed to sit idly by and wait for it to happen. and finally they are supposed to protect. whether it be the feelings of his date or literally protecting her, dating is a chance to show to a potential mate how well he can perform these responsibilities. Women aren't off the hook though. They are supposed to nurture. They should nurture the relationship while it is there to nurture. Now theses aren't black and white you do this I do that. It can and should be a partner deal.
