Archbishop Samuel Aquila, of the Archdiocese of Denver, offers this dating advice:
Boys: "Have enough respect for girls to call them, not text them, to ask them out."
Girls: You "have the right for someone to call you and speak to you."
And: "It’s important that boyfriends and girlfriends not simply be dropped by a text message or on Facebook, letting everyone else know that they are dropped."
He speaks of the importance of the "encounter with the other person." Could it be that not encountering the real person (their voice, their eyes) when communicating-- can lead to not really recognizing the person in decisions about physical involvement and purity? Or being recognized by them?
