The Point of Dating...

DiVeRsE CiTy · 05-12-2005, 07:59 AM

Alright, I want to see what you guys think the point of dating (as teenagers) is. If you are 19+ don't answer this.

I really don't see the point, personally... I mean why give out pieces of your heart to other people when they most likely won't be the person you will marry? I think it's awesome if you have friends/good friends of the opposite gender... but I don't think you need to have a relationship with them during your teen years. I think that once you are ready to marry - that is when you should start dating...

I like this guy at my Church, and he likes me... but we aren't dating because we both agree we're too young. We still like eachother, talk at Church and anywhere else we get the chance, and hang out... so I don't really see what the point of dating would be at my age anyway - there really isn't one...

Well... there's my opinion hehe

I agree with Anna, I don't think that giving little pieces of your heart away is a good idea. I have had girls that I liked but never dated one. I think that it is best to wait till you get older to start dating.

Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.

I'm literally reading that book right now! It's on my couch - I took a break to come check my mail and AY! hehe very odd

That is odd! I have that book but have not read it yet... I totally agree with ya Anna! I never plan to date, it's ridiculous when ya think about it! Going out with someone on a date that you have no intention of marrying. Now blind dates, those are really pathetic!

It's a wonder my Dad ever married someone like my mom! He went on at least one blind date and he had numerous other regular dates! But then he met my mom and everything changed! She was not the dating type and had only been on several. So things worked out for him but he wasted so much time a way giving his heart to females he now never sees.

why andrew - whats your view?

the point of dating... well to me it's to look for someone you can spend the rest of your life with. Normally you can't put a time frame on it because it is all in God's will and timing. In most the relationships I have seen work into marriage by the time the people gave up looking or weren't looking for a relationship God blessed them with one

I don't think you should date until you really get to know someone as friends and kknow that it is a possibility you may someday get married. Although with today's society it's really hard to even have friends of the opposite gender because if you hang out with them then everyone says you are dating and sometimes that ruins the friendship.
