General principles
 * You might be called to singleness all your life and you should be ok with that
 * Dating is investigation, not commit to succeed. If you stop dating, it does not imply that you failed.
 * Master > Mission > Mate
 * Christian, calling, chemistry, community, cats

Phenomena
 * You get saved while dating - if other is not Christian (which they shouldn't be if they were dating you), then probably break up pretty quick. It's different if you've living together - which essentially is marriage without a label. Emo rel pressure is not why people should come to Christ. It can be a hook, but not the final. Do not think you can save them neccessarily 1 Cor 7:16. On the other hand, per examples of vikings and staying with unbelieving spouses indicate you may be able to win over. But vikings was unwilling example. 1 Peter 3:1 win over husband with inner beauty
