When should I start dating?

Hi there!

I can hear you asking, “When should I start dating?”.

I have some answers for you, hope they would help.

1. You are ready for dating when you are mature and independent enough to manage a long-term relationship and to commit to marriage for life.
2. You are ready for dating when you have discovered your identity and you understand yourself and the reason why you were created.
3. You are ready for dating when inner beauty is more important to you than outer beauty.
4. You are ready for dating when you have completed your secondary and tertiary education and are engaged in gainful employment.
5. You are ready for dating when you can communicate effectively with others and are able to manage your emotions well.
6. You are ready for dating when you have learned to honour and obey your parents (it does not matter your age) and others in authority.
7. You are ready for dating when you are able to put others first.
8. You are ready for dating when you have recognised that you need God’s direction and wisdom, to truly succeed in this life.

Now, as teens and young adults, it is healthy for you to have friends (male and female) and to socialise, go out together.  Group activities are best at your age.   They would help you to build great relationships that would last a life time and of course build your social skills, without distracting you from your personal development, and your goals.
