hey All,
i was just Wondering what you All think about Dating in Highschool. i mean Seriously, you Read books like I Kissed Dating Goodbye and not Dating seems better, at Least until College.. because Most times you Get your Heart broken anyway or do something Immoral, since you're Obviously too young to get Married. wwJs? is Dating even biblical? (lead Me not into Temptation).... i Need a Second (and Third and fourth Etc) opinion. Thanks!

Ehehe, not planning on dating during high school, because it would most likely get in the way of school, and also, I would probably be more mature (can't really see that happenning, lol.) Besides, I think that I'm still too young to go around dating and whatnot...
Biblically, the Bible says nothing about dating specifically, but I think it's okay.

What's next: not dating until you're 30? ha ha :)

I didn't date anyone until my senior year, but I wish I had dated more.

relationships in high school are fun and can teach yo aliot about yourself.
if you can get someone you like, go for it!

It really comes down to; Are your thoughts, intentions, and actions pure?

If not, then dating may not be the best idea.

At the same time though, a lot of people are gonna have issues dating if they have never had a relationship, when they are in their 20's. Every relationship will teach you about yourself and the opposite sex.

I think it depends on the person and what you want out of dating. I've had a boyfriend of 3 1/2 years I started dating when I was 12 and am now 15 with the same person. That doesn't happen to everyone.

I was taught that before you should date, it would be helpful to become a "successful single" and grow in a relationship with god so that you can bring your boy/girlfriend up in his walk with christ rather than tear him/her down.

dating is ok as long as ur careful. i read somewhere tht u should be happy w/ urself so if u do break up then u still are reasured w. urself....idk wat tht means and im making no sense...anyways waiting till ur older, college, may make the guy like weird cause u neva had experience dating.

Dating in HS can be an educational experience... Although if you choose to date in HS I would recommend dating someone with the same morals and beliefs as you. That might help you stay our of trouble and or getting in trouble. I also think it you were to date in HS it might help you prepare for all the different types of Men you will meet in college... Again I would recommend meeting and dating a young man that shares the same morals and beliefs.

As a teen, i think i am going to wait until college to truly date. i mean guys in my school are immature and not committed to God. i don't want to get in a tempting situation with another person. I would much rather wait for God to show me my true love.

But if you do date, make sure it is with someone who you can take really serious and can communicate even after high school...

My beliefs are the same as Magatha2116

I don't believe that dating in high school is a good idea. And I don't believe it is because I did it.

Wait. Hands down.

High school kids are stupid. period.
I was one, we all were, no one can deny it.

And you shouldnt be "dating" (kissing, etc etc etc) anyone til your ready to be a married man/woman anyways.

I dont really know...i dint have a boyfriend till 8th grade & now im 18.
In a way its better to not date, but at the same time maybe you can date a little as long as you dont have sex & do other sexual things, kissing is one thing & not that bad BUT after all its NOT us who should decide what is right That is God choice.
He chose a man & a woman for each woman & male... well maybe not all depending on the person.
Like some people might be better off without getting married....& others are better off with a family & wife or husband.


& i can say from experience i TRULY regret going out with all the guys i dated BUt one, that one is hard to explain i regret liking him, & other things a long with him so more of i regret ever setting eyes/talking to him than dating him.,

Maybe in over all its best that you dont date until you know you really like someone WHO you have been talking to for a long time. so for example say you have a childhood friend & yall get closer & closer then maybe that was God putting you two in your lifes because he wants you two to be together =D
Just make sure that you dont pick them over God. Because that will be one of your biggest mistakes in life.
If he cant accept God & denys him after a long time then he or she was not meant for you. I mean yes try to tell them about God & give them time but if its been years & theres not even one improvement maybe they are not meant as your husband or wife but just only as a friend in your life.

Sorry for double post i could not edit my last post since it had been 5 min after posting it =/

i believe that it depends on when God will let you date. i think God let's you date because He's letting you know that you've become more mature in your walk with Him..or He's going to bring someone into your life that will help you to get serious about God.
