Lia. 45 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 Besides your parents? What is it? As for me, I can start to date whenever I want, I just choose not to... There are tons of other reasons: - (Possible) Commitment Issues - Fear of not being loved (eg. family) - Needing physical comfort (eg. hugs, stuff animals) and Good for you Hollie-chan Not dating is a good thing.

Misaki-chan 164 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 It's kinda because none of the guys at my school really spark my interest. There's no point dating someone I don't like, so I don't date at all. But I see... So those are your reasons? I see... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lia. 45 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 oh yeah I've also got another reason: - Christian Oaths (but this is a good thing) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misaki-chan 164 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 Christian oaths? What's that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lia. 45 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 Christian oaths? What's that? at church at youth groups Christian girls make promises to God - to guard their hearts/not fall in love (not date) - to be a virgin until marriage and similar stuff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misaki-chan 164 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 If they aren't suppose to fall in love, how do they expect to get a husband? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lia. 45 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 If they aren't suppose to fall in love, how do they expect to get a husband? if i remember correctly there are three ways 1. dating 2. courtship - the parents select someone for their child to get married to 3. the 'players' and 'whores' way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anti-APTX4869 181 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 There are many divisions among Christianity. some are slightly different from one another. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lia. 45 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 But you said that you aren't allowed to date, so... GAH! I'm so confused.... I think it's like this: the parents set boundaries for when their kids are allowed to date my parents say I'm not allowed to have a boyfriend until I'm older than 18... or was it 21? In US, Nazarene. It used to be Presbyterian back in Korea though. I understand that 'Nazarene' is with regards to Pentecostal. Presbyterian is probably more common than Nazarene. Oh, and I'm part of the Evangelical church. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anti-APTX4869 181 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 I was planning on not getting a date until college but... Grace is just too perfect to miss... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misaki-chan 164 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 Believe me, I don't plan on that until marriage. And my friends wouldn't pressure me, that'd be too OOC for them... M would be the type to tell me not to to it and Sayuri wouldn't say anything about it at all. Same goes for all my others friends. If the guy was, I would probably question whether or not he actually likes me and maybe in the end dump him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
