Real Questions: I like him. He likes me. Should we date?

Have you ever dropped a pack of Mentos into a 2-liter of Diet Coke? Well, it’s pretty explosive…kind of like hormones, especially in the teens and early twenties. Even the slightest touch or visual image can send off geysers of desire. Obviously, Solomon, author of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon in the Bible, had never seen the Diet Coke Mentos experiment, but he might like it as a visual aid alongside his warning: Song of Solomon 3:5 Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you … do not stir up or awaken love until the appropriate time.
