aries,
You didn’t address my points.
I’ll make one more. Let’s say a certain bochur does not normally follow this halacha. Should he then do an aveirah on a date as well?
SilentOne,
I haven’t researched this halachah well enough know the exact parameters. If you read my posts carefully, I never said it’s definitively assur, I only addressed whether it should be disregarded, if it would be assur, because of society’s rules.
cherrybim,
My point was that since it’s obvious that not all of that halacha in the Ramba”m is applicable to dating, your assumption that there is automatically some type of “chinuch” practice involved is flawed.
