“No one is really taught how to date. You just watch movies, or friends talk about it, or you learn about it in novels. Dr. Miles Munroe did a great job in this book. He starts by describing relationships or friendships just like how a baby is conceived in a woman. It takes nine months before their born. There’s no skipping stages in life, the same applies to relationships.
Your general relationships can be the acquaintance, someone who you talk about the weather and politics about. Then there’s the casual friend, someone who you have a bit of something in common with like sports to talk about or to play with. The close friend, the friend you open up to and can share things with. The last type of friendship, the intimate friend. Most people don’t ever get there. In today’s culture, for relationships, it starts from the physical intimacy skipping the two important stages. Doing the stages in the reverse order usually doesn’t work out.”
