I want to date
Hi, I want to date but I don't want to be intimate with anyone especially since in My religion you have to get married first. I just want to experience what it's like to be dating someone as an adult, but I don't want to be intimate with them. A hug or a peck is fine and I'm okay with fondling but I'm not okay with anything more.
I mean I did think about marrying someone just so I could experience intimacy but now I'm contemplating if that's a good idea, it seems to be an extremely addictive activity which means I would want to keep doing it or I might justify doing it out of marriage. The best choice is just to avoid it, kind of like vaping.
Is it possible for me to just date someone without them wanting to be intimate? My last boyfriend was when I was in middle school and he fondled a lot and a bunch of things even before we started dating and at some point I realized I didn't want to take it further. Tried to get him back together with his ex, I succeeded and realized I didn't want to date like that again where the guy is obsessed with my body. So it's been like a decade or so but I'm curious about what I would be like to date someone as an adult with their own money, but I really really want to avoid being intimate.
Is there a platform I could use?
