4) Remember whose property you're touching. You do not own the person you're dating, or anyone of the opposite sex, for that matter. That person belongs to God. Imagine there's a sign on everyone you date/befriend that reads: PROPERTY OF Jesus.

5) Make a promise to God, and daily renew your commitment. Decide where you're going to draw the line, and tell God that with his help, you are not going to cross that line until marriage. Don't commit to it unless you mean it, though. The Bible says it's a serious thing to make a vow to God. At the same time, realize that you can't stick to your promise without his help. That's why it's important to renew your commitment daily.

6) Acknowledge Jesus' presence on every date. Before a date/school/youth group, it's normal to spend a lot of time getting ready. After all, you want to look your best. But you also want to make sure you're spiritually prepared. So spend at least as much time in prayer as you do in front of a mirror. As it says in Proverbs 3 "Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths."
