Thanks Rapunzel for clearing that up. I have never heard a non jw use that phrase, that is why I ased.
So basically it's just foreplay. But they have to call it something to make it sound so bad.
I remember one brother I dates. well stupid guy kissed petted and told. ( note to self: never be someone's first gilrfriend) then a few years after I was married. I invited his friend over to a party my husband and I were having. His friend wouldn't come over because of the things petting his friend and I had done 3 years earlier. He didn't feel I was good association.
lmbo. talk about holding a grudge.
