Happy New Year!!!

And so someone exemplified my last blog a couple of days ago. At any rate, I'm still working on the book, and find it to be quite a different book from last I remember. The current topic of the chapters I'm reading is...erm...well...physical contact between dating couples. Is that a good way to put it? I don't know. Anyway, err on the side of caution is what I glean from it. I don't know, as I've not been in a dating relationship, but it certainly makes sense that the further one goes the further one wants to go. That's really the way with most things, isn't it? I never wanted to go into caves, for example, but once I went in one (the one at Silver Dollar City) and found that the walls wouldn't fall in on me, plus there are really neat things to see down there, then I wanted to go again. I wouldn't quite call myself a caver yet, but I have been in wild caves, gotten covered in muck from shoulders to toes, and will go with someone who's familiar with the cave. All because I went in one very safe, well-travelled cave. Baby steps. How far is too far? The point where you can't help but go farther than you should. The point where you become desensitized to it being wrong. That doesn't mean I wouldn't ever even hold hands if I did date. No, it just means I know to be cautious. I won't cross that line because I won't go near it.
