I think you're exaggerating the potential downside of "dating" someone to unrealistic levels, unless "dating" includes sex.

Dating does not include sex. And furthermore, empirical evidence and life experience of people I know suggest otherwise at this point.

I really don't want to paint all women with a brush. A minority are the kind of people I am worried about. However, there are still enough of them that it's easy to get caught. And because women, when communicating, tend not to simply say what's on their mind directly it's nearly impossible for me to have even an inkling what's on a lady's mind.

The problem is somewhat alleviated since I restrict myself to ladies who go to good, biblically sound churches. Nevertheless, just because she's in a church every week doesn't make her a believer and doesn't mean she lives by what's taught. More than one person has found that out the hard way.
