The Fine Art of Dating

By Dr. Ron Jones

Dating has never been easy and it seems that the rules of courtship are changing. Gone is a simple dinner and movie. Today’s young people rendezvous over phone texts and Facebook posts, leaving them confused about how to land a boyfriend or girlfriend.

 

Are you finding it hard to make a love connection? Put aside your machines and try the fine art of communication and courtship. Talk to each other, and try it the old fashioned way—face-to-face. 

 

King Solomon said to Shulamith, “O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the crannies of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice, for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely” (SOS 2:14).

Dating today is definitely an art—it takes patience, confidence, and knowing what you truly want. With so many ways to meet people, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or frustrated. Whether you're dating in person or online, the key is to stay true to yourself and not settle for less than you deserve. For those looking for meaningful connections later in life, platforms like ourtime can be a great option to meet like-minded people. At the end of the day, dating should be about enjoying the journey, not just rushing to find "the one." How do you approach dating in today’s fast-paced world?

“Every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.”

Romans 8:28 MSG

I have been listening to Something Good Radio for several weeks. I gain new insights weekly that I can apply to my life. After a recent broadcast, I got down on my knees, confessed my sins, repented, and asked Jesus to be part of my life. Thanks to God's grace and mercy, you showed me His love. I am a new Christian because of your efforts.

Thank you so much for preaching the unchanging and powerful word of God every day on the airwaves. My wife and I are originally from India, and now live in Melbourne, Australia. . . . We love to listen to you breaking the Bread of Life. Keep upholding the word of truth in an increasingly dark and dying world.

Something Good happened to me this morning. I listened to Ron's broadcast from last week and feel a renewed sense of hope and encouragement! It was exactly what I needed to hear―to be reminded that our God of yesterday, today and tomorrow will answer my prayers.

Ron's messages on Something Good Radio have brought me back to God and have led me to rededicate my life to Him.

I just want to take this moment to thank the Lord for what He is doing through you. ... We are thoroughly blessed by the wonderful expository preaching! There is so much more I could say, but I will end here. Thank you. my dear brother, so much.

Your program on the radio is great. I listen to you all the time. Truckers, van drivers and all deliverers are being saved listening to the programs you come up with. God bless you and continue to broadcast more salvation programs for all those on the road, at home, and at work.

My dad passed away. While driving home, I happened upon your radio show. You talked about redemption. I normally would not have listened, but I was intrigued by what I heard. I want to hear more. I’m not a religious person but I couldn’t turn the program off. I want to learn more.

Thank you so much for being a Bible preaching and teaching pastor! You have blessed us with your ministry, and we pray that God will continue to lead you to proclaim His word boldly.
