Personal PDA Part 2

Assumed Truth #3 Making out does not involve any emotional attachment and does not carry into other relationships.
This is a tricky statement and the answer will change depend on who is being answered. For this blogs purpose, my answer is directed at Christian couples. If someone feels that I am wrong though, feel free to comment it up and offer another opinion, granted that you can back it up.
I would say, yes, making out does involve emotional attachment and here’s why: You wouldn’t just walk up to a complete stranger and start making out with them, would you? Probably not. You haven’t built a relationship of any sort with them. The same thing goes for most of your friends. You wouldn’t randomly make out with them because you don’t have that kind of relationship. When it comes to the person you are dating however, you probably have some sort of trust built up with them. What you are doing is something that you only do with this person because you are committed to them. There is some sort of connection.
(I’m going to go ahead and write this like I was talking to a guy, because I’m running out of neuter pronouns to use to refer to dates. However, the general post still refers to both guys and girls.)
So, what happens if you and your girlfriend break up? You’ll probably be upset, but over time you’ll find someone new and eventually you’re going to find yourself in the same position that you were in with your last girlfriend; making out on the student center couch. But now you have a problem. What happens when you want to show your girlfriend that she is more special to you than anyone you’ve dated? You’re going to have to do something different than you did with your previous relationship, and since your new girlfriend saw what you did with your last date, there could be some issues. First off, your date could expect that since you made-out with your last girlfriend in public, you are going to expect the same thing from her. Secondly, she may expect the same from you.
What do you do now? How can you show your girlfriend that while she means more to you than your previous girlfriend(s) without taking things as far physically? Show her respect! Your previous relationships all have one thing in common; they all failed. So show your girlfriend that she means enough to you to change the way you were handling your past relationships. This can also be used as a warning sign to anyone entering a relationship. If the person you just started dating is treating you the way he or she treated the last person they dated, get out. You deserve someone who’s willing to change what they are doing when what they are doing fails.
