I actually think that dating is ok. As long as you know that it isn’t the one you will marry, depending on your age. If you are still in like middle school, or around 9 or 10 grade, i think if you choose to date somebody, you should go into the relationship knowing you most likely wont marry this person. It helps when you break up to do this too. I got out of a relationship just yesterday. And i did have a really good relationship with the guy, cause we are both very laid back, and know we wont marry each other. And i know its the cool thing to say I love you and all. But at this age its not the same love as it is when you get married. I think thats it

I am 14 years old, a freshman in high school, and happily a Christian. Yes, I have a boyfriend, and I just want to say if the intentions of have a boyfriend are right and holy then I think it is fine. My boyfriend is a year younger than me, but he is a sweet guy who respects me and listens to me when I think that something isn’t right. We do not kiss (except 2 pecks on the cheek.. teehee, *blush*), we occasionally hold hands, but we never do anything physical, and I will never let it turn to something physical. My boyfriend doesn’t know to much about God but he has made it clear that he wants to learn more. He has started a relationship with God, and I’m glad when he asks questions about God. We go to seperate schools, but we keep in touch. I’m glad that he is in my life because I think God sent him to me as a wonderful friend. Many people ask me what I see in him because I have had plenty of people that are curious about our relationship. I would say that I see him as a friend and a really nice guy who I believe I can trust and I really mind someday spending the rest of my life with. Not like I’m planning a wedding because I don’t want to go that far and then break my heart. I’m just say that I don’ think there is any point in dating if you can’t see yourself marrying that person. That is what I think dating was supposed to be. Meeting people to prepare and find the person you plan to live the rest of you life with. My parents know him, my youth group knows him, my friends, know him, I know his parents, and I’m happy to tell others. I have a wonderful relationship with my parents so I wasn’t the bit scared to tell them. I hope anyone that reads this would be able to do the same as I have, and I pray that all my sisters in Christ would find a wonderful person in their life. One thing though, just like I have always remembered, I ask that everyone else remembers this too… I will never put my boyfriend before my father and first husband, God… and I hope all of you guys will do the same. No matter what I may feel, my boyfriend may someday break my heart, but God never will. He will always be there for us all.
LOL (lot’s of love)

Thanks Chad for all your great advice! It’s really helped me in my relationships with boys. I’m dating a guy right now, and we are doing awesome. He respects my boundaries, and he has the same boundaries I do. I’m so blessed to have him in my life, but before him comes God. Girls that start dating at 12 or 13 are to young to be dating in my opinion. Guys are way too immature at that age. I think it’s so much better to wait until you’re older, and always put God first in everything you do. Thanks guys for everything!!! Love you!

hi,
I’m 13 and yes I do have a bf.I think dating is ok but not physical. And only if God has it in ur plan. Yesterday was the dance and me and my bf went and we slowdanced like everyone else and we were both totally shocked to here that this other couple madeout rite there! I think that that is totally inappropaite … Yes a teacher broke them up … But wat a horrible example to set for the 6th graders… I thank God for my bf … We started out as friends and we both can act totally normal round eachother.but I no that he may give me support (he does) that God is the only true support … Girlies that are dating keep
that I’m mind. God before bf

Also there is WAY 2 much drama when it comes to having a BF/GF. when my friends say they broke up with the BF, its usually because of something the guy did. if i ever get a BF i want him to be a strong christian. i’m 16 and never been kissed, i know a 12 year old thats pregant. that right there should say it all. we have our prioritys mixed up people! middle schoolers should not even be thinking about dating and having boyfriends or grilfriends. i dont even think we should have a spcific age were we say its alright to date. dating is for mature people, if your not mature enough to see that than your not mature enough to date. i’m homeschooled and i think homeschoolers have way more drama than public schoolers. yeah we might not have drugs and guns, but when it comes to this kinda thing…..
I think being homeschooled gives us an advantage too, we are able to learn everything from a biblical worldview. besides we can thank the mieda for this ‘if you dont have a boyfriend your not good enough’ mind set. God made us girls good, in fact the bible says He made us very good. just because you dont have a bf doesn’t take away from your value one bit. even though i’m just coming to realize that i believe it with my whole heart. i may get down sometimes cause i dont have someone who’s totally in too me and wants to be with me all the time. i do have that in my Heavenly Father. and for right now i am content to have just that, i’m willing to wait for my Prince Charming!!!!!;D
