wont u be my girlfriend

ekulu by ekulu · Aug 27, 2002 · 117 views · Journal

I've never had a girlfriend. Never. Hopefully, with enough devine intervantion, one day i will. I look around, though, and notice that so many bros sisters are hooking up younger and younger. Really, how young is too young to be dating? We now hat dating is supposed to lead to marriage, but if u know the person u might wanna marry and ur 16, are u still to young to date? When are people really ready to date???

It depends on the people involved. Are they materially, emotionally and most importantly SPIRITUALLY ready to date? Are they past the bloom of youth? I'm sure some on here think "Oh, I'm 18... that brother (or sister) is really nice and we get along and we like each other." Sure, that's great, but can you LIVE with each other. My grandmother had a saying "Love is blind but marriage is the eye-opener." It's so true. Honestly, unless you can support a spouse, unless you are looking towards marriage, don't date. The world views it as a social activity and sadly I think quite a few Witnesses (young and old) view it the same way. Ironically, I think some younger ones date socially to feel older, while older ones do it to feel younger...

my mom always says "get married when you feel you have too much freedom" there are many variations, "if you don't want someone trying to tell you what to do for the rest of your life, don't get married." its true. like every decision of if you want to eat over someones house, go out in service with another person, you have to talk to someone else about it too.but i know people now who know they wanna get married.

past the bloom of your youth, actually as a year passes by, im kind of glad i waited before marrying the first person i dated, because we change as individuals..so the worst thing that can happen is that you begin to change in a marriage and realize the person you are with, is not what you really wanted....and that is a sad life to have.....so the best advice is in the Young People ASk, you asked for divine intervention will he has provided the guidelines.......for all of us to take to heart......just don't become impatient as time goes by you will be happy you waited
