I personally think dating is so that you can find your potential spouse... With that being said, I don't date because of that. I'm too scared of the thought of marriage (even if I think of it being 10 years away). Every time I picture myself getting married I start freaking out and picturing a divorce, which is something I never want to go through. I'm so afraid of divorce that I can't ever picture myself getting married. I mean, I know I'm young and I have a while to go before I'd even consider it and my mind could change within that time, but I'm so turned off by the thought of giving my heart to someone and marrying them, and giving them every part of me and then watching them walk away. I know that as a Christian it's important for me to find someone who is also a Christian, but that doesn't help my fear of marriage/divorce because divorce is still pretty common with Christians too. It's really hard because I want to meet new people and go on cute dates and stuff but if I can't see myself getting married I know I have no business dating.
