AFDaw Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Sorry you feel like that, but in all honesty you did post and ask. Just remember that most of us are older, and in giving advice, chances are it's from EXPERIENCE, not because anyone wants to make you miserable. Wouldn't it be nice if you could follow the advice of your elders and not make the same mistakes they made when they were growing up? My youngest brother comes to me for advice all the time and I told him last time "Why even ask? I tell you what you should do and you go ahead and do what you want to anyway, so why don't you just save us all some time and go ahead and do what you're going to anyway." I'm not saying what you're doing is wrong, and I'm not saying what you're doing is right, but I got the feeling from reading your posts that you really just wanted us all to tell you what you wanted to hear, not what we actually thought. I'm 25, it wasn't that long ago that I was in college and high school, yet when I'm out and about and I see high schoolers or even college kids, I look at my husband and ask "Were we ever that immature?" and the answer is yes :) We were. I'm not saying what you need to do, but I guarantee you that when you get older, you'll look back on things and probably think the same way most of us older people do.

deepthinker Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 we are specifically counciled to not date until sixteen, and even then in group dates. that doesn't sound like listen to your parents. that's what it says, end of sentence. i don't want to sound mean, and i apologize if i do, but that's what we have been counciled to do.

Who bloody cares if you hurt her feelings! You are 12! My advice for all of you. Go see the movie About A Boy (just the first 20 minutes). It doesn't matter what age you are. Everyone still has feelings no matter how old. I think that is very insensitive. You wouldn't hurt someone that you love. I am insensitive.And you are not hurting them in the long run. You are helping them and yourself. It is win win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half those people aren't LDS anyway, so those percentages mean crap to me. IM NOT GOING TO HAVE SEX UNTIL AFTER IM MARRIED! Gosh, why did u even have to bring it up? I was talking about DATING in the first place! Go ahead, tempt Satan see what happens. As for me, I will stand as far as from the edge of the cliff as possible. Also, I am not quite sure you understand what tempting Satan really means. If you did, you wouldn't want to do it.Don't wait till marriage because of your parents. Set the standard because you want to do it for yourself.All those people in the survey are from LDS households. This is information from 1993.And if they are LDS or not it doesn't matter. Just because you have been baptized that does not make you immune to the troubles of the world.I brought it up because dating leads to marriage. Unless you are only dating in order to score and leave the one you are dating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't feel akward you are too close. Also, if you ever fart and she is ok with it, you are waaaaaaaaay too close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so you know I am not one bit sorry and neither should you be. Isn't the internet amazing. If I was going through the same thing at your age, I would have had to resort to talking to people. You are able to talk to other LDS people who you will never meet! You can be angry all you want, but on the other end, we all have lives and visit this board once in a while. PS, my advice is not always right, but I garuntee you will always be upset when you hear it.By the way, see the whole movie then. I said the first 20 minutes because after that point, you will not want to stop watching. You can see it for free if you go to a library you know.

Half those people aren't LDS anyway, so those percentages mean crap to me. IM NOT GOING TO HAVE SEX UNTIL AFTER IM MARRIED! Gosh, why did u even have to bring it up? I was talking about DATING in the first place! Oh man. Sk8r, if you were in our seminary class today, it was designed just for you. If I were you, I wouldn't be pushing Satan and challenging him. In our seminary class today we were talking about David and all the sins he got into. Sure at first it was small, but it eventually got bigger and bigger. The more sinning he would do, the easier the harder sins would be. Something I really remembered about that seminary lesson though is that, if say the most righteous boy, and the most righteous girl were to drive down a dark alley and park there for a while, not even they could resist the temptation. We all have limits, and if we're pushing those limits, things are bound to happen. So, my advice to you is to not even push those limits in the first place, because sometimes when you do, you don't have control anymore because your limit has been broken. It starts out as dating, but it'll get worse... no matter how much you think it won't, it will.That's just my two cents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franken Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Hey, sorry but I couldn't help it I just found the quote I was lookin for, it was by Spencer W. Kimball "The devil knows how to destroy our young girls and boys. He may not be able to tempt a person to murder or to commit adultery immediately, but he knows that if he can get a boy and a girl to sit in the car late enough after the dance, or to park long enough in the dark at the end of the lane, the best boy and the best girl will finally succumb and fall. He knows that all have a limit to their resistance." Just had to share it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did it last a week? Look, we are not trying to be mean. You need to read the chapter in Nephi when Nephi explains the dream of Lehi to his brothers and then the brothers say, you have spoken harshly to us and it is more than we can bare. And Nephi says "the wicked take the truth to be hard" Now Nephi never reports that his brothers than ran his underpants up the flaagpole after that comment, but the point is, The truth must be spoken. Not to condemn the wicked, but to justify the righteous. There are righteous youth out there who should NOT BE MOCKED for choosing the right.

LDSk8r890 Posted March 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Nice quote. Yeah my mom did say I can't really go OUT on a date till I'm 16. Plus, I'll have a car by then. (Makes sense) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lt Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 My kids won't date until they are 16 and thats only group date, when they turn 18 I will allow them to date on there own....Reason is because by then they are ready to handle the serousinesses of dating and what comes with it... 12 years olds shouldnt even considerate it, they are young, immature and not ready for the reality of dating or the responsibility that comes with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedar Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 I hope my kids are all unpopular unathletic nerds. That way they won't give me a headache about all of this "I'm 16, where is my car?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half those people aren't LDS anyway, so those percentages mean crap to me.Wow!!!! Sk8r I hope Satan or one of his angels wasn't standing around when you typed that. It's not very smart to tempt him. Remember misery loves company and he will do what ever it takes to make you miserable. Don't get a big head and think you know all that. You are still pretty naive. holy cow your only 12!!! And I have to agree with cedar dating does lead to marriage so all of this is inter-twined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmalley116 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hey I've been LDS all my life and I'm 12 years old.I was wondering if dating is normal for mormons our age. PLZ HELP ME OUT HERE!!! <See that's me I'm confused!HahaSeriously I need to knowWell the standards in the strngth of youth sya to wait till your 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argentina84 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Casual dates don't exist in Argentina, so, though I liked some guys during High School, I never dated them. Actually I had my first date at 20. I think that dating at such a young age((12) is not profitable. It's very unlikely that you will marry someone you have dated since you were a teenager. Regards!

JFat Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I agree with all the people here :) Im 14, i never really got into the pointless 1 week dating thing, i just focused on school XD Nowdays im going pretty well, i decided just to start having girls as friends like so i could get along with girls for later on, also my best friend that is a girl is already taken so theres no temptation there I always believed that those dates and stuff are a bit pointless, why go on dates when you can just make friends with the girls and still find out what poeple like and yehh? Dating is for the older :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
