Personally, I couldn't go without physical interaction. I'm someone that connects moreso to a person through physical interaction, be it through a relative, friend, or my relationship.
I never grew up with rules on dating or courting (I just recently heard about this strange concept), I never really received much talks about relationship management and whatnot. All my relationship intelligence was learnt over studying myself and my own capabilities to be self-composed. I can be physically interactive because I'm able to keep my hormones in check in such situations. I could never "go all the way" even if I wanted to, it's something my heart is set against until I'm married, and that's the limitation I've put on myself.
I think setting such extreme limitations, especially if parents enforce them, is only going to cause further temptations to disobey them. I know in my thinking, if my parents would've said, "Randy, don't you DARE even touch her hand!", that would've only furthered the desire to do so because its putting emphasize on it. We have full capabilities to control what happens based on a God given ability called self control. In my opinion, there isn't a point for crazy stipulations. That doesn't mean you can't set some limitations for yourself, though.
Again for the billionth time, I have no problem loving on my woman, because I am without a shadow of a doubt convinced that she is the one I'll marry. Some may say I'm foolish, but whatever, I won't deny what God has given me.
