Is dating to you just a "search for marriage"? There is no purpose. It's just fun. Do you know what fun is?


I know exactly what fun is, I refuse to damage girls by having sex with them and breaking their hearts.


When did I say sex? When did I say break their hearts? I've been in 2 high school relationships. Neither involved sex or very much heartbreak.


wait....you are saying that you can have fun without sex?? :O no way!

I dont believe that there was little heartbreak.


I don't think you understand my point. Dating in high school can be enjoyable and doesn't have to involve what you would call "Lewd" things. Why don't you try it?

Dating is a search for your future mate? Well what if the perfect girl is someone you met in high school? What then? It's happened before.

Dating =/= sex 24/7


I hope you are serious about this. Anyway, dating means that you trying to get the other person better while letting them get to know you (hopefuly from the better side) and some time after you wuld like to start a relationship with that person. As it happens most people arent so responsible until they grow up. At 18, society believes that you are mature and responsible enough to understand how serious relationships are.


thank you, i prefer waiting until I turn 18 to even consider dating. That way, both me and the person I date will be legal, and able to talk about marriage.

OP, I began dating seriously when I was 17, and I've been with that same girl for over 3 and a half years.


that's ok, 17-19...lines can blur there.


But she was 16, so now your line is even farther back.


you didn't mention that. but still, are you able to buy her things? are you able to promise that you will buy her a house/apartment for when you have kid(s)? Do you have a good start on your future career?


Why on Earth are you asking about kids? We're not even married. We don't live together. I made it clear that we wouldn't be getting married until after college.

Rock bottom is no place to set up camp. Especially in the dark.

Abstinence =/= the inability to get some.

well for one, I am graduating in six months, so it is a little late. and yes, I understand that dating does not involve all lewd things, just mostly. The things that arent lewd I can do with any of my friends though.

They can be parts of a relationship but they are not the whole thing obviously.

ok, then why are you dating her for the next 4-5 years? why not wait until the last 2-3 years of college to start dating? you might find someone more compatible at college.

I know exactly what fun is, and it is certainly not having sex with a different girl every week.

yet, I refuse to damage girls by having sex with them and breaking their hearts.

Is this guy serious?

But what if you find someone more compatible in high school? Even if dating is the search for marriage, you can search in high school as well.

Clearly we're compatible if we've stayed together through the transition to college. And I don't graduate college in 4-5 years...I graduate next year. I would get married if we could afford a large enough apartment, a car, a wedding ring/ceremony/honeymoon, etc. Right now it's just not financially possible.
