==Principle #1: Blessing One Another to the Glory of God==
Holzmann bases this first principle from I Peter 4:10-11, stating that, "Integrity Daters remember their purpose: to bless the people around them 'so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.'"<ref name="Holzmann"/>
==Principle #2: Treating All Members of the Body with Equal Concern==
==Principle #2: Treating All Members of the Body with Equal Concern==
From I Corinthians 12:25, Holzmann realized that Scripture commands equal concern for all believers, regardless of gender. He became concerned about his own lack of concern for men he knew, so he formulated several rules for himself based in Scriptural principles.
* Rule #1: "I will treat people in whom I have no romantic interest no worse than I treat people in whom I have a romantic interest."
* Rule #2: "I will treat members of the opposite sex no better than I treat members of my own."
* Rule #3: "I will do nothing with members of the opposite sex now, while we are unmarried, that we cannot continue to do in good conscience later, after one or the other of us has married someone else."
* Rule #4: "I will do nothing with members of the opposite sex now, while we are unmarried, that I cannot continue to do for the rest of my life with the person I eventually do marry."<ref name="Holzmann"/>
