secular dating advice

My question, which I've had for awhile, is "should Christians take any secular dating advice?"
I watched this from the TODAY show, and think that there are some good take-aways. However, I don't think Christians should take advice like "it's the 21st century, the girl can call the guy and ask him out." I don't think this is prudent or, frankly, attractive.
What do you think?

remember the donkeys

I read 1 Samuel 9 yesterday and was struck by how God used missing donkeys to bring Saul and Samuel together, so that Samuel could know who God had appointed to be king. Saul's recorded response to the missing donkeys isn't one of frustration. He didn't say, "God has cursed us" or "has the hand of God turned against us?" This is my typical heart-response to things that don't go my way.
I was reminded, again, of how God is working a million things in ways I could never understand. I'm trying to remember the lost donkeys as events unfold differently than I expect.
