lets not hijack this one.... this one is good and i think we should keep it going....




so about dating in college....


also, i know girls who have dated and gotten sexual, become pregnant.

now whether or not they have the baby doesnt matter in society apparently.
everyone looks down upon them when they made simple mistakes.


their advice to me:
dont be stupid. wait until you know you are ready.
wait until you know that God is calling you to marriage and motherhood.

I think that college dating is not pointless. My parents met in college and dated in college. I do think that people should date when they are old enough to understand dating. Like older than a freshman/sophmore in high school. :ph34r:

For example, I see way to many kids in 6th and younger "dating". Younger dating will only lead to be boring with just holding hands. Then this will lead to being bored with giving little kisses. This will lead to being bored with hugging and it will lead to you know where to early.

Dating requires focus on marriage and maturity. I don't think 6th graders are mature enough to be thinking about marriage.

I think though that some college kids aren't mature enough to date right away. Especially a lot of freshmen in college. I mean, they're just out of high school, not much difference.


p.s. I think this could really help a lot of people too. Let's not hijack it again.

I agree. Many of the college freshman have a high school attitude.

However, I think that an immature attitude towards dating starts when girls/guys start young. Not a big avocate of dating young.

My main reason for changing the subject was I thought that we needed to relieve some tension. I didn't mean for it to get too far. Sorry. :)

When i first entered the world of dating i didnt even realize it. I thought i was going to the movies with someone and having fun, spending time with her, and then one recess im her boyfriend, lol. (yup i was young) but later on i grew up, had good experiences and bad, and matured my reasons for dating. if you had caught me about 7 years ago i would have said i dated girls because we had fun. now i date because im trying to find the right woman for me. someone i could not only see myself with for the rest of my life, but someone i would want to spend the rest of my life with. right now im in a very loving relationship with someone you all know. this relationship has taught me to treasure these bonds. i have to drive an hour and a half to see luthien, and just the warm fuzzy feeling i get when i see her is enough to tell me that i'm dating for the right reasons. :wub: (what other smiley would i use?)

You should date as if you are looking for your spouse, because thats what dating should be.

Doesn't scare me that I might spend the rest of my life with my best friend. :wub:

Blessed Be God!!!


HMMMMmmmm....I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN!!! LOL.

Most of my friends know how i feel about dating, and well the people that heard me the one night on Paltalk. I guess i'll have to share some wisdom with you all.


But before i get into all that this is the #1 QUESTION YOU MUST ASK YOURSELF

"What does dating give me that friendship can't?"

if you can give me a def. answer you would be the first b/c i haven't heard one that is a good point.

God Bless

When should people date?



Simple: When they believe they have found the person they're going to marry. Any other dating is just a waste of time, energy, and money.


Just my two cents, thoguh
