Daiting or dating?

Today I was researching dating on the computer at my parents house. ( I find I have a lot of time on my hands when I am at my parents house these days, being the only sibling without a spouse or children, during the holidays it's just Mom, Dad, and me.) So I was looking into dating from the christian worldview. I typed "Tim Keller on daiting" into google.com several times. "D-A-I-T-I-N-G". Nothing was coming up. I couldn't understand it. Well my mind wondered for a while and I just happened to day dream further on down the line to my wedding, so I ended up looking at wedding dresses. Never a good idea. Later on in the afternoon, my brother was on the same computer checking his email and he saw what I had been researching. I'm not sure what he saw but he came downstairs later and said " Della what were you looking at on the computer?" I of course jumped to the conclusion that he was talking about the wedding dress stuff. I quickly made up some excuse, "I have two roommates that are getting married." He interjected," do you know how to spell dating?" . . . . I was really embarrassed. Goes to show me. I shouldn't be planning my wedding, while still looking into what it means to date. . .or to dait.
