I believe dating in high shool and such is fine, as long as your using it as a means to try and find your soul mate, your other half. Don't just date for the point of dating . . . that's . . . . well . . . kind of pointless!
My fiance and I met in Art Class in highschool, his freshman, my softmore; we didn't start dating till after I moved away and had been away for about a year. We started dating the beginning of his junior year and my senior year. And we've been together ever since, we have an apartment in Downtown Cleveland (where we both grew up when we were younger) And our relationship is as natural and healthy as it should be. There's never a question about whether we're going to last or not, we have no intentions or anything even remotely close to hint towards us departing our seperate ways.
We are engaged, and we know we'll be married some day and spend the rest of our lives together; unlike all of our friends who hurried up and got married right after highschool, we know we're going to be together, so we see nothing wrong with waiting until we're better off financially before getting married completely. We know we'll be together and that's that.
So . . . if it wasn't for a sudden spur of the moment interest to date my best friend, I probably would have never found my other half 3nodding

Everyone has their own opinions and interpretations, which is why it's up to the individual to make the decision on their own.
Of course, I'm an extremely open minded person, given my background. sweatdrop Dating is different for everyone, and I feel that this is a subject between God, you, your parents, and maybe a pastor or priest.
Personally, for the most part if you mess up, you can try again. I know I did. I take dating very seriously but one friend pestered me to go out with him until finally I agreed. We broke up the very next day. Not my finest moment. Of course I've had other (worse) mishaps but things have always turned out the way it was supposed to be. God wills it, it will be done. So my mother tells me.
My advice? Don't ask me. Ask God.

Truthfully, I don't think the typical "dating" is the best way to find someone for you. I think the best way to find a soul mate, or whatever you want to call it, is to become friends with a person first. The best significant other is a best friend. Of course you should date that person for a while to make sure! But then again, life treats everybody differently.
Also, consider praying to God for guidance while you're looking for someone. It really works, just ask Lithanus. whee
Note: Lithanus and I are definitely soul mates. whee We've known each other since we were kids, and I guess you could call us middle school sweethearts. But the reason we got together is because of God and Lith's willingness to pray for guidance, even at that young age. It also saved me from guy-hopping... which I probably would have done at that age, because of the kind of person I was. But I'd adored Lith for a while before that--pretty much since we met--so it worked out well. We've had our ups and downs of course, but we're both very devoted to each other. We're finishing college before we get married, and I'll be sure to tell you all when we do. wink
Wow... that note ended up being pretty long... ninja I hope you don't mind me telling so much of our story, dear. sweatdrop

I think dating is fine, just don't do it in elementary (guilty). Also, before you set the relationship up, set boudries.
1: plan out all dates so you don't have time for temptation to seak up on you & you end up giving in.
2: keep all your friends, if you lose them over the one your dating, where will you go when the two of you break up?
3: Don't ever be in a house alone, & never be in a room with the door shut.
4: Date him/her because you like their personality, not because you are sexually attracted.
5: If the Holy Spirit/God tells you not to date that person or to break up with them, DO IT!!!!!
And I don't see why he/she has to have the same religion. Marrage, they have to be of the same beliefes or there will be problems and maybe even a divorce. Then again, you should get approval from God before you even get engadged to anyone. sweatdrop Back on subject now! My boyfriend used to be an atheist, but one message over myspace of me telling him the reality of what God did and would still have done even if he was the only person in all time to go to heaven because of it changed that.
If you spend your time wisely, set boundries, and don't do anything that looks like sex (ex: laying together on couch, bed, basically whatever would look like sex with clothes on) then you'll be fine. I know I am xd
