I Kissed Dating Goodbye
Book • 1997
In 'I Kissed Dating Goodbye', Joshua Harris argues against the conventional dating scene, suggesting it often leads to superficial relationships and emotional harm.
Instead, he advocates for a 'courtship' approach that involves greater parental involvement, group dates, and a focus on purity and marriage intentions.
However, Harris later apologized for the book, acknowledging its flaws and the harm it caused to many readers by instilling fear and promoting a legalistic approach to relationships.
