Dating at Fundy U

[mirandaluzdivina]

Thanks for sharing, everyone! It's been...enlightening. And more than a little creepy! I guess I'll share my only fundy dating experience, though mine took place in high school rather than college. I joked earlier about "corrupting" the pastor's son. Here's the story behind that:

My church/school was relatively "progressive" in that we were actually allowed to date, and seniors were even allowed to go out without a chaperone (daytime dates only, though!). So the pastor's son, who I'll refer to as "J," asked me out for a snack after school one Friday. Before I got on the subway to go home, I gave him a little kiss on the cheek. He blushed and looked nervous, but I figured he was just shy. Then at church on Sunday, he wouldn't acknowledge me at all. That night, the pastor called my dad. "J" felt guilty about that stupid kiss on the cheek and confessed to his dad, who called my dad to lecture him about teaching his daughter some better morals before I tried to corrupt another boy. When he finally hung up, my dad came up to my room and said, "If 'J' asks you out again, you're not going. That kid's a wuss."
