I thinking dating should be thought of as courtship in that you are looking for the person you want to marry. I would discern if the girl is right for me by them being Christian, nice, and attractive physically.

I think courtship is the best of the three. Because what is dating other than getting to know someone, and to see how much you like them? And is there really a point to that if you aren't ready to get married? I just don't see much of a reason to date, because most teens aren't ready to get married!

I agree with courtship the most out of the three... Entering into a relationship with no intention of it lasting or having commitments in the future... Well, it only causes pain! The two souls become one long before the bodies do. But as far as protecting emotions go, betrothal is the "safest" method, as that is seen as legally binding before the marriage is offically instated...

Oops... I think I started rambling there...

As far as discerning if the person you like or are dating etc is right for you... Well, what I intend to do, is pray about it a LOT! I don't intend to date/court (whatever you want to call it) anyone without confirmation from God, and blessings etc from my Christian leaders. (Parental blessing isn't as important to me, as my parents aren't Christian, therefore hold completely different standards to those that I hold.)

I marry the girl who can do more push-ups then I. <--That is a JOKE. People I'm not serious. But it would be a good idea...

I think dating is fine for teenagers, as long as they don't get to wrapped up and are responsible enough to make the right decisions. I think dating can have purposes besides marriage, like getting to know someone better (group dates are great for that), and getting an idea of what you want in future relationships, and just for having fun, as long as it is healthy and appropriate.

I think its simple dont date em' if you dont think their the one and when it comes to knowing if their the one you just know, God will tell you. Take it from someone who knows.It sounds really dumb and simple but really you just know.

I totally agree with courtship...even though it can be really, really hard especially in my high school years. I just have to keep on reminding myself how happy I will be after I am married and after I have kept myself emotionally and sexually pure for my husband.

Well,I think courtship is the best way to go.I don't really know how you know who is "the one".I'm too young to be placed in that situation.

I think that courtship is a really great way to go. I recently read the book, "Boy Meets Girl" by Joshua Harris....if you haven't read this book...go out and read it! It's awesome...it's an introduction to courtship...
