Is dating worth it, i mean im pretty young should i bother with it is it a waste of time, from a christian stand point if im not dating to find the one is it bad to date. is it possibly to find someone and stay with them forever at this age? should i or not? thanks again for any answers you guys have i really appreciate it and can tell a lot of you that Ive met so far are so SO much wiser then i am and i LOVE getting you're guys advice it makes me so extremely happy!
The answer is yes, it is. It has happened before. HOWEVER, that being said, I changed a lot from about ages 13-17, so if I had been dating someone at that time, I probably would have broken up with them because of all the changes I went through. I imagine that is true for at least 98% of American teens today.
I personally see dating as a step towards marriage, so if you are not ready to get married in the next few years, go slow. I've waited, (still am waiting, in fact), and I have no regrets
. There is a lot of peer pressure to date, so try and remember that that is not a good reason to do it if you're not ready.
