That makes sense. However, what if you are just going to a diner with only one respectable guy. Say you know this guy quite well, and know that he is a good person and you just want to get to know him more personally. Would that be so bad? I mean my idea of dating is not necessarily going to a party. Going to the movies or to a restaurant is fine, and we don't even have to do anything else but talk to each other. I do agree that you shouldn't let a guy distract you from the more important things in your life such as education and career.
On another note...are you planning to travel?

no, I dont really speak for myself... unforunately I've already found the man of my life though Im very young.
but I never got into the dating thing. If I wanted to get to know a guy better I would go out with him and a group of my friends.

^__^ well that's nice to hear. I haven't found anyone for me yet, but I believe that God will send him my way one day. That is if Jesus doesn't come before that time. I agree to being in a group of friends to get to know someone, but I would like some time for just me and that person. 3nodding

flineagle no, I dont really speak for myself... unforunately I've already found the man of my life though Im very young. but I never got into the dating thing. If I wanted to get to know a guy better I would go out with him and a group of my friends. hmm.. but, on that note, a lot of guys will act different with you alone than when you're with people.. trust me on this... I experienced it so much when i was a teenager... even guys who were just my friends and not romantic interests... and just cuz their in church doesnt' make any difference either... i've met some guys outside of church who were much better than a few who were in church... as for dating... I think it's ok to kind of get to know several people on not an intimate level.. but on a personal one... i mean.. I'm so glad i didn't end up with even the first five guys i went out with.. they were all losers... rolleyes

I'm not dating till I'm 18(if then) and i'm perfectly ok with it, most of the time dating leads to lustful thoughts and improper touching(i.e.kissing,etc.)and that's not good if we want to follow God, besides God will bring me who I need, and you too smile

I would get to know someone through group activities, and then... actually, I don't know how I would approach a girl. redface But I would definitely start with group activities. As to what Graceangel said about acting different 1 on 1 as opposed to in groups - I wouldn't use the group activities as a date... if the person acted different when we were alone, then (lemme see if I can say this right) I don't know if I want to continue the relationship - like, depending on what you mean by act different. Like, if they put on a false face either in groups or when we're alone... why would I like that?
I think I confused myself. I'll let my brain breathe and come back later.

I remember very well how two-face and tricksy the boys in highschool were. but if someone is out of higschool and is talking to a guy who acts different depending on who is around, and by "acts different" I mean changes his entire personality, then they are probably not somone you want to continue hanging out with.

Wow such an old thread and yet it's still going ^_^. I'm glad I can get in on this one.
I really don't see a problem with dating, just be careful I guess is the only way to think of to phrase it.
Angel makes a whole lot of sense with what she says about getting to know people.
I believe (now...I didn't before), that dating should be to find the one to marry. Who says it may not happen in high school? Besides so many things can happen over the course of a few months that dating can really help you realize certain things about yourself that you may not have realized before.

Personally, I think dating should be about having fun. When you're in highschool, dating can actually be a good way to fine tune your social skills, wether you're on a group date or just out as a couple. Besides, you need practice for when dating becomes more serious.
It's perfectally alright to date someone (seriously) even if you know you aren't going to marry them. I did, and I loved him a lot. We made some good memorys, and even though we went out for two years, we never had sex.
Dating is not about sex. It's about getting to know someone and getting to know yourself and what you like in another person. If being with someone isn't fun or if you don't like being with them, you need to move on and find somone you do like to be with.

I've found dating in high school to be a complete waste because inevitably they start wanting something more and i'm waiting till i'm married to give that away!

i think that dating should only be done in groups if at all, its just a waste of time that could easily lead to something completely wrong (from experience sweatdrop )

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. I know!! If you aren't looking for a life partner you are wastiing your time.
