So, someone once told me that it is really important to focus on building a friendship as

the foundation for your relationship.

I was recently told by a friend that it's always best for the guy to pay for the first

day.

The best piece of dating advice that I have received in the past was to always have good communication.

I would say that being open to new experiences and dating would be really helpful.

Well, those are a few dating tips that you might have heard at some point in your life.

And today we'll hear some great dating advice from our guest on Focus on the Family.

Thanks for joining us.

Your host is Focus President and author Jim Dele and I'm John Fuller.

John, of course the producers want me to talk about what great advice did I give Trent

and Troy.

Oh, yes.

I think the great advice was to not have too much advice as a parent in this area.

But we did talk about the order in which it should work, which is, you know, you're going

to date, hopefully school will be somewhere underway if not finished, get married, then

have children.

That's kind of a plan.

I think that's a good way to go.

But in terms of the dynamics, I always aim for the heart, you know, for them to have good

hearts and to be good toward people.

And I think that's not a bad way to go.
