pam Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 First of all...what are your reasons why you can not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess3dward Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Haha. Most youth have this problem. I dated for the first time when I was 13, but that was WAY BEFORE I joined the church. After that I did my best to wait, which was REALLY HARD! Anyway. I kinda wish I waited. You don't really need that drama right now, and boy is it drama!!! Besides, chances are you will get married in your early twenties, and will never be single again. ENJOY IT WHILE IT LASTS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess3dward Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Lol. Good answer. Then try your best. Just explain to them your standards, and they will understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weasleyismyking Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 I've actually been asked out on a date and so I just told him that I am not aloud to date until I am 16 and just said I am sorry! He still talks to me so i dont think he was hurt! If they like you, they should be able to wait and understand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acez Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Yes tell them your standards and the truth about it. I'm sure they will understand and if they don't, well they are not worth your time then :) Dating is always worth waiting for. Just try not to grow up too quickly especially with dating. You have basically your life ahead of you to date. Acez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-train Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 On several occasions i have been asked out. However I am not sure of a way to tell them that I can not? How can I refuse without hurting anyones feelings? Just stop bathing and all this will go away.-a-trainPS, if you have someone ask you out after you've gone an extended time without bathing, then it is OK to hurt their feelings.

blackcat Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 So, a-train when does group dates begin, explain? I am a convert and never had a problem become lds at 20. Ps don't ask how old i am i don't like it. Plus, this might be my answer "Old enough to know better, still to young to care" its part of a song. has nothing to do with age but enjoying life. Its a country song don't know who sings it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Church advises that parents allow only group dates until the youth is of the age of courtship. My daughters will never date, I intend to shoot any boys who come to the house.-a-train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
