Just like what the title asks when do you think is a good time to start dating? |
|
[from female perspective] When you are ready to get married. For me, personally, I chose not to start dating until I was looking for marriage material because I don't care for the drama of break-ups and I'm not someone who likes "sleeping" around. Actually, I'm sort of a rarity that chose to wait till marriage to have sex. Dating was always in my mind as a "testing" period in order to find the person you wanted to spend the rest of your life with. I started dating at 19, and only two boyfriends later I've already found the man of my dreams. We've been together 2 years (on the 17th) and he's still my best friend and everything I could have ever asked for in a life partner. We're getting married October 22nd this year. However, because I'll only be 23 when I get married, I've had "professionals"[in dating/relationships] tell me I shouldn't get married because I'm too young, but that's based off of divorce statistics... which, based off of those (given that the divorce rate is generally 50% or so)... I wouldn't get married at all if I gave a crap. So, after that long speech, the bottom line is "when you're ready". |

Here, this might help... at some point... I don't mean to intrude on your personal life, but you've been through two divorces. I'm not sure how I would take your advice on dating... 7
For a 15-year old kid, you're in no position to judge - nor do you know anything about the circumstances which surrounded the dissolutions. It's not a single-sided street, and consider yourself on thin ice with me, bud. Thanks Chris for the tips and posting this question on facebook and twitter . 4
I agree with Chris, Catchatyou. For your young age, you haven't even been through life yet. You don't know what "true" happiness is, nor "true" sadness/pain, "true" love yet. That's kinda like being a "newb" in the Army, and telling your drill instructor (who's been doing it for more years than you've been alive) how to walk through a minefield. Good luck with that... When you start dating and getting "serious" with someone (and I don't mean just "serious" about getting in her pants), and you get dumped by a girl; and are dumbfounded, depressed, unsure of yourself, low-self esteem, and can say you've lived through that, THEN remember your comment to Chris, ok? I not going to date until I'm a bit I was just curious about when the community thought it was a good time to date since it's valentines day. Besides he did say at some point.

Well, I'm 30 and I haven't started yet... Having said that, my life is completely stress-free. |

when you're ready to get serious... girls are sensitive and can break easily. And if you mean something to her and you let her down the wrong way, SHE WILL TEAR YOU APART!!! Only you can decide when you are ready... |

Whenever feels right. There's no right age. I mean I'm 16 and I just started dating. So just when you feel ready, wether that be 15 or 50. |

It's my personal belief that dating is to find those characteristics and qualities that you find attractive in a mate. Sometimes though, it's important to let things happen naturally. Too many people go searching for something or someone and forget what maybe right in front of them. Love yourself and love the people around you and let love happen naturally. |
