The question

Should dating involve parents?

The answer

Apart from the term "dating"; when two people become interested in each other, they should involve their spiritual father first and then their parents. The book of Judges indicates that Samson had a problem with not adhering to his parents' advice regarding the women he had chosen. He repeated the same mistakes over and over again concerning the women who eventually caused him much grief and suffering.
