i started dating my boyfriend at 13 and yeah thats young not going to lie, and were still together for almost 2 years, i guess its just the way you see dating, my parents are VERY stick with what we can and cant do, we cant hangout alone which includes the park, no dates alone tell im 16 double dates with trusted friends at 15, i believe that you should be careful and if it gets out of control you break up even if its hard, and if God is sending you messages saying not to or to not date then dont.

If you aren't old enough or mature enough to get married, you shouldn't date.

but if you only date when your old ebbought and mature enought, how do you find a husband/wife, you have to know what kind of guy you like and what you "look" for in a guy

i only believe in dating with the intention of marriage. so, unless i can see myself marrying the guy, i won't date him. i'm not going to lie, like you said, 13 is a little young, especially to be looking for a future spouse. i do, however, understand the pressure this world puts on teens to start dating young, but we are called to not be conformed to the ways of the world. all that being said, i wouldn't date until, at the youngest, senior year of high school.

I know that i am young, and it probably wont work out, but i can honestly see my self getting married to him. My parents love him, hes always around my family, he is nice and caring. And maybe right now thats what i like but, i can see myself marring him in the future. Althought, what you did say about not dating tell senior year, that is actually smart...

Look at what the Bible says a husband/wife should be, and develop friendships with people who have those qualities. If you're not old enough or mature enough you'll just damage yourself emotionally because you'll get hurt or end up hurting someone else. If you start dating young you'll end up with a ton of broken relationships and you'll carry that baggage around for life.

I think theres an age where teen dating is ok, I didnt have my first boyfriend till I was 19. We dated for 9 months and it ended HORRIBLY, I was hurt so bad, but God actually used this relationship and the pain that followed to pull me closer to Him and to help me understand what a real relationship is. It has made me desire a better relationship wiht Him as well as realizing the way to go about having a real relationship.I'm not anti-dating, but I'm not for dating someone for selfish reasons. The guy I like now I would date because I can see us together, and want to pursue a relationship but what for me that is right is pursueing a real friendship.

But, I also realize people who are under 16 aren't necessarily ready for a relationship, I know I wouldnt have been, if I had gone through what I did at 19 at any of those ages I would have been hurt soo much more and the outcome would have been completely different. I think there are exceptions to this, and if the relationship is based around God than thats good, if not though its no bueno. I would say also along with this something to the I'm mature for my age argument, yes people are mature for their age but so was I and you change and grow so much between the transition from high school to college and looking back now I wasnt mature at all, I wanted a relationship just to fit in. And got in one with the first christian guy that seemed to really like me, he had a stronger faith than me or so I thought. And maybe it could have worked out but because of my motivations I didnt let God in and both of us fell away, and in the end he left me for another girl (my friend went to the same youth group and lived with him).
