Dating Boundaries

[Coder]

Two people meet on an online dating service and decide to travel to visit to meet in person and start dating. I would not think that they should spend time in each other’s hotel rooms on visits except maybe briefly to help with bags or see the view etc. What about lying in the bed and cuddling without sexual relations? I see this as wrong but would like to have others post also.

Yes, that is wrong. It is a near sin occasion which are called to avoid. Would you ever try to balance one foot on the edge of a tall building? Now sitting on a couch watching TV or moive together is different so long as they aren’t cuddling up. It could also be dangerous for the women to be alone with the guy in a hotel room whom she only knew over the internet. That right there is a red flag. People aren’t always who you think they are over the internet. I think dinner in public place is good place to start when seeing somebody whom you only new over the internet for the first time.
