Is going camping alone with someone of the opposite sex a bad idea?

It’s okay - it’s the Alfred Hitchcock movie (I was half-joking). But it is one of my favorite movies!

We both still have strong feelings for each other. …being out there in the dark at night and secluded is it a bad idea?

Respectfully, I think at age 30+ you already know the answer to this one.

Is it a sin to be alone with someone of the opposite sex?

This is the TCM article on I Confess: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/78777/I-Confess/articles.html

Yes, it sounds like a near occasion of sin.

At bare minimum it could be a source of scandal

Then how are you supposed to discern marriage with someone?

 

[TheLittleLady]

It depends on the maturity of the people and also the situations.

 

[tuffsmurf]

If two people above the age of 18 aren’t mature enough to be alone together during daytime, they have way bigger problems than described in these threads.

If you’re in separate tents then I doubt it’ll be a problem, though it depends on both your levels of self-control. The thing about occasions is that they aren’t usually objective; going to a sports
bar is an occasion of sin for a recovering alcoholic but not for someone who never drinks enough to get drunk.

 

[Shasta4737]

I think it’s a bad idea. If something should happen, it could cause negative feelings that would ruin any chances for the two of you as a couple of as friends. It’s way too early to put yourselves in this situation.

Yes. But most people in this society have those bigger problems. Hence why chastity is rare in relationships before marriage now.
