In one of the latest Relevant articles, Where Have All the Decent Christian Guys (and Women) Gone?, near the end of the article, they say: "Stop treating every date like a marriage interview."
Oh yes! Every date should be treated like a marriage interview, because Christians date with intention, with purpose.
Christians don't date just to fool around. The whole point of dating--from a Christian's perspective--is to get married. Worldly people are the ones who sometimes date with no intention...well usually the "intention" to have sex without marriage commitment.
So, yes, date as if this is a person who may be the one you spend the rest of your life with in marriage. This type of dating should take a couple dates to notice the potential of marriage; listen to the Holy Spirit for direction, and tell each other your story to get to know each other quicker so to decide whether or not you both are compatible). And with dating, comes lots of prayer to find the right person.
God will help you find someone if and when you are ready for marriage. The engagement could be long (not too long), but at least there is now a commitment of marriage.
