it is absolutely unlawful for a man to be alone with a woman who is not his wife or a member of his unmarriageable kin (maharim). There is also the hadith of the Prophet, peace be upon him, “Whenever a man is alone with a woman, the Devil makes a third.” (Tirmidhi)

This prohibition on dating or being alone with a member of the opposite sex is based on the principle that what leads to the unlawful is in itself unlawful.

Thus, if you are in a situation where you are alone with a member of the opposite sex and you obviously have some romantic interest in each other, it will only be a matter of time before you are tempted to disobey Allah by becoming intimate, i.e., fornicating. This is a grave sin. Therefore, to protect yourself from falling into such a sin, you shouldn’t be in a situation where you are tempted. Dating is one such situation.

so, if the people who are dating, are meeting in a public place and not meet in seclusion its fine eh?

No on is boinking in a restaurant from what I have seen.

secondly..what if one is not tempted to errrr screw? or can control oneself.
