[You shall have no other gods before Me]

2. You shall not idealize your date, you still don’t know them.

.[You shall not make idols]

3. You shall not bail on a date last minute. Especially not over text. Never take your date in vain. They made time for you.

[You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain]

4. Remember not to use your phone when on a date, especially don’t tinder when they are in the bathroom.

[Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy]

5. Honor your mom and dad issues, aka figure your stuff out, before projecting all of it on them. It is called being an adult*

[Honor your father and your mother]

6. You shall not ghost. EVER.

[You shall not murder]

7. You shall always disclose if you are married or in an open relationship.

[You shall not commit adultery]
