I agree with the above statements.  The below reference is also right in
that Christian men do find atractive women atractive (wacky concept). 
Some think that we don't date or do anything like that.  What we don't do
is go make out in the back seat of the car or the likes.  Most Christians
do date but keep it at a mature level and plan for commitment (not
nessesarily marriage).

I do turn my head every so often when a very good looking woman walks by
but I don't mentally undress them or drool all over the place.  The Bible
doesn't say anything against recognizing beauty but that we don't lust
after it.

The main reason dating is looked down apon (in the Christian sector) is
that it provides many routes to sin and sextuall imorality.  For the most
part dating is saved for when you reach a mature level that marriage is a
real possiblity.
