Is dating scriptural?  The problems with dating:

• leads to intimacy but not necessarily to commitment.

• often mistakes a physical relationship for love.

• often isolates a couple from other vital relationships.

• in many cases, distracts young adults from their primary responsibility of preparing for the future.

• develops a self-centered, feeling-oriented concept of love.

• teaches people to break off difficult relationships, conditioning them more for divorce than marriage.

• develops an appetite for variety and change, creating dissatisfaction within marriage.

• promotes lust and moderate sexual activity, opening the door for fornication.

• creates a permanent endorphin-bond between two people who will not spend their lives together.

• lacks the protections and guidance afforded by parental involvement of courtship.

• devalues sex and marriage. 

 

The word dating is not in the Bible.  People date because it is exciting,  fun, physical, and sexual. These pleasures can cause people to be in the flesh as your body becomes excited.
