OverBlogging

Okay I think I'm overblogging. If thats even a word, but I love it so much! Another issue I came across today is to date or not to date? I mean adults are always saying teens never know what or how to use the word love. Some teens aren't even allowed to date. Even though some do without their parent's permission. I asked myself today though should I date now or wait until I'm older? You have to think about three things first. Like what do your parents think? As much as you think that your parents just want you not to have any fun and just want to ruin your life. Your parents do care about you and want what's best for you. If my parents set an age for me to start dating, I will listen to what they have to say. If my parents haven't put an age limit on when it's OK for me to start dating, I will ask them. Even though my parents are old fashioned, they love me, and their job is to take care of me. Waiting until I'm older might seem like it will take forever but I think life would be a lot simpler if I can learn to trust that my parents really do want the best for me. The second thing you think about is what do you get back from dating? I think finding out what you like or don't like about a guy without a commitment is a good idea. That's what dating helps you to do. It can also be a lot of fun. Even though dating sounds like a good idea there are some bad things to it. There is a great risk of getting hurt. Dating can be distracting and ruin friendships. You know when you get a boyfriend you start hanging out less with your friends. Have you ever lost a friend because of a boyfriend? Or have you ever stop being friends with someone because they hang out too much with their boyfriend? Tell me about it. :) The third thing you have to think about before dating is can you handle having guys as friends? Dating is like getting to know a guy without a commitment. Like going out with a guy means he is yours! No sharing! Dating is different. It's having a relationship knowing it's not commiting to a lifelong relationship unless you choose too. I think you can get to know a guy better by being his friend first. There is no pressure involved and you can learn how to calm yourself around them. Plus you really got nothing to lose by just staying friends. So, when you meet someone that makes you consider whether or not you should date. Make sure you put a lot of thought into the risks and benefits! Personally, I rather not date though. I rather wait until I'm older. :) What do you think? Do you think your ready to date? Do you think there is much more things to think about when deciding to date or not? Tell me about it! :) Comment Pleasee
