There isn't any direct biblical support for dating, however, there are principals regarding relationship between the sexes. Dating is for seeking a marriage mate. If you are having a close association with the opposite sex, what are your reasons? There could only be two, the Bible upholds the union of marriage, it does not uphold extra martial sex. It is specifically condemned and is referred to as fornication. 1st.Corinthians 6:9 classes fornicators with idolaters, adulterers, men who lie with men and men kept for unnatural purposes as well as greedy people, thieves, drunkards and extortioners.

That would have been incorrect, because it does not speak against it. Once again, I get back to the principals surrounding relationships between two people. Once you have been with a person long enough to consider them for a marriage mate and there is an engagement, then you might consider dating, this is the way you will learn the person well enough for marriage. Remember, being the humans, that we are, being alone creates arousal and desires which are hard to fight, therefore it is advisable to keep being alone to a minimum.
