I was at a class just last week and it was on dating. He gave us a few statistics about the chances of being immoral before marriage as to when you started dating. I wrote them down so I would remember, anyway it was something like
12=90% 13=80% 14=70% 15=60% 16=20%
It goes steadily down until about sixteen when it goes way down. I won't date until I am 16 because that is what my parents, as well as my religion has asked of us.

Unsung_Gaurdian Torch24601 "Steady" dating at an early age=pain. "Fun" dating at any age =YAY Yet we still steady date because everyone thinks that the person they care about is worth the risk-it is, when you're mature enough to handle it. We date early so we can gain experience so that we won't be too stupid when we're old enough to handle a real relationship. I must disagree with you on that one. when I have children, I do not plan on letting them date until they're 16, people will argue with me that the "deprivation" of dating until that age will only deprive them of experience with dating, and certain situations. I however am against even "fun" dating until age 16 because of a few reasons, but I will only divulge one at the moment. We just aren't ready to date when we're 13, 14, 15, or younger, if an awekward moment does come up, how will a 14 year old deal with it? and I remember being 14, I was such a lost cause... if a girl liked me, I would like her, how am I to know if my children won't steady date if I allow them to "fun" date? I consider 16-20 "young" I'm 17, I'm young, I'm dating (trying not to get serious) I didn't date at all-even just "fun" until I was 16. The same will go for my kids. It's religious thing.

Dating has evolved into something it was not meant to be in the first place. Dating was originally started to GET TO KNOW people, not to fall in and out of love with. It was meant for you to sit down with some people, get to know them, and continue to get to know them. IT IS NOT MEANT AS A WAY TO EASILY HOOK UP WITH SOMEONE SO YOU CAN GET (pardon my language) SCREWED OVER WITH THE NEXT WEEK!! *twitches* domokun

I think serious dating is the way you find a husband/wife. I don't think it's the way to find out who to live with. domokun It's the step before marrige. 3nodding Fun dating is the way to get to know new people and see what you can and can't live with in a friend. Also, I think you should be marrying your best friend. Yeah, he may be cute, or "a sweetie", but will that still be ok in 50 years or are you going to want to end it. Too many people just go with anything, and get hurt later. If you marry your best friend, that will stay forever and you're much more likely to be happy. 3nodding Marrige has enough hard spots, don't bring more in.

The other girls are dating the really hott boys and I'm dating the boy that treats me like a queen and always will. This is the guy who's seen me at my very worst moment (just rolled outta bed, no makeup, my sisters sprayed shaving cream on my face, muddy, smelly and with a bloody nose) and he'll still hold me and tell me I'm beautiful. Who has the better boyfriend? You do the math.

I agree that kids should not start dating until they are 16. My sunday school teacher gives the class cool ideas to go out and have "mormon fun". The activities he lists are great.

Who has the better boyfriend? You do the math. I definitely aggree with Torch on this one. True, I am a guy, but it is still good to date your friends. My g/f is my best friend, and she has stood by my side, despite my trials, and recent religious conversion. I don't know that she would have done that if she wasn't a friend to start out with. Dating friends makes the whole process easier too. You already know that you like to spend time with them, dating just takes it a level further.

As far as I can see, only date girls you would consider marrying, only go on "for fun" type dates before you're ready to get married, and don't date at all before you're sixteen. IF you follow these three simple "rules", I can guaruntee from personal experience that you will have a successful, enjoyable dating carreer! biggrin

I say just be careful with trust and get to know the person before you start dating them. And there's no guaruntee you won't get hurt, but if you take it slow that minimizes the risk.
