My angle on the whole teenage dating thing is that when you are young and in high school, it is hard not to fight the temtation of having a boyfriend. That is not the bad temtation though, if you ask me. The BAD temtation would be to have pre-marital Sex. That is a huge pressure when you are a teenager. I am all against pre-marital sex. But dating is a part of the high school experience. If you dont date in high school, whats saying that when you date after high school that you wont get taken advantage of cause you dont know what guys you are looking for? It is good to go into the dating field because you need to know what kind of guy/gal you want to spend your life with. Many people find their soul mates in high school. Some in college, and some after college, but the high school dating experience is just a warm up for what is to come in the real dating world. God doesnt want us to have sex before marriage. Dating is not sex. There is nothing wrong with it in my opinion.

Lithanus Mako18 Well, the way I see it, unless you're looking for your soulmate (the one you are going to spend the rest of your life with) I say no dating yet. Because there is no purpose behind it. If you aren't ready for marriage, you aren't ready for dating yet. I totally agree. Dating really should be a tool for finding your permanant mate, not a temporary partner. Unfortunately the worldly nature of our society thinks otherwise and so confuses even christians sometimes. yes, i agree with you guys...totally...but asking somebody to a dance isnt really dating. It's finding somebody to dance with and have fun. I see a difference in that. However, all the girls i have talked to or danced with i have not gone into serious relationships with, and ALL of them are christians. This way i know they wont try anything against god's plan. Its like what Rowena Marion said.....u have to protect your heart and know your boundaries. After you get over that, dancing is fun, and it's nice to have somebody to dance with wink

I don't believe that dating in high school is good for most people, so I would say that it is better to wait till you are 18 and might consider getting married to the person later on in the relationship (if it gets serious that is). I don't call my theory stare courtship or gonk dating, I just call it a view that promotes a loving & Godly relationship 3nodding with a certain guy/girl. (I believe that a healthy relationship should be one that eventually ends in marriage). This business of dating & breaking up, then dating again is stupid! Come on people, if you are seeking a serious relationship you should be older 3nodding and mature enough to handle it! Sorry if I sound too bossy and repeat myself, I tend to do that! redface

This is a sad world. Dating is already occuring in elementary and middle school, sex too.
I may be in 8th grade but I still want a guy I can be close to. I don't want it to be dating-dating, but I want someone to spend time with that is a guy and I can be with.

I'm kinda half and half on the topic cuz I kinda have a boyfriend, but most relationships don't seem to work out & I've seen a lot of my friends get hurt. I hope that is not so for mine, but I know its a reality. I'm pretty sure we'll be fine for now cuz he's a real gentlemen and he is a beleiver in christ too so he understands my position on things. Although I don't really think its smart to date someone who has no religous beleifs at all because they normally can get you into more trouble. sorry if I offended anyone, but its how I feel heart

I don't want it to be dating-dating, but I want someone to spend time with that is a guy and I can be with. That is how it was at first with my gf, and she was in the 8th grade. What worked for us was the fact that we were friends. I wanted a long-term relationship and it may be a life long one now. Find someone you can be friends with and have a good number of things in common, faith is biggie that department. And for s_t_i_x_i, good luck and always ask God for guidence, He helped me and my gf in tough times and now she and I are certain we will marry. After all, I did pray for a girl I could spend my life with, and God gave me her. Although, you should wait for thinking about marriage untill you've been together for a while, I was just giving an example of my relationship, we have been together for a couple of years now. sweatdrop

I think it is okay, but you should keep it low don't get into your relationship, because they may change and mature, so I think you should be friends so that way you get to know each other and later you will fall in love and marry. 3nodding
