Dating Debate

agreed.

idk. i wouldnt actually ask a girl out till i graduate, so 4 me that will b @ 17 cuz my birthdays in october. but its different 4 everybody, depends on how close u get, and what all is goin on in ur life.

yes, but dating isn't worring about it. dating is finding out and yadda yadda yadda.

between 16 and seventeen.
Me I just don't care if I date I prayed and gave that worry completely to God, so I have no worry of it.

at what age do you feel as if its old enough to start dating? think of yourself for the answer, but then also think of your younger sibling, at what age would u want them to start?

Well your no help Dude!

um, actually this thread is the most said on any of them.

wow, u guys sure wrote a lot and said very lil while i was gone! haha

Yep what she said.

good! i'm glad we were of help! do a good job with it!
win that debate!

I think that courting puts you in a "safe" situation. It gives you much less opportunity to do things you may regret and it keeps your heart whole for the person you'll eventually marry, also, parental involvement is good in any relationship and courting relationships are fully relient on God, which is the most important thing. Thank you guys for your help! There are a lot of good arguments online and such and i think this will go well :]

thats basically the jest of it.
also, you are planing on marring the guy when all is said and done, some people date for fun, or for personal needs or wants to be satisfied.
with courship your never put in a position where you could be misunderstood, or temptation is very present.

courtship involves alot of prayer, whereas dating you can do w/o parents even knowing. courship they've been praying from the start.
same with the heart breaks.
with courship you are waiting until you deeply feel like you want to marry the person. then you court.
there are books on the subject, i sugest you look at a library or on line or whatever. we may have one somewhere if you'd like me to find it. i haven't read it, but it might be of help.

I more for the courtship
1. less pressure or at least to me less pressure.
2. Parents are involved so temptation won't be as high or happen as often (depending on the parents and kids though.)
3. Focused more on Bond then love until the designated time.
4. No need to go around and be broken hearted time after time(Like Tim said.)
Those are some off hand things.

I'm for more of a dating/courtship mix, if that makes any cence, I think there are good things and bad things on both sides. I know two things my family always says about courtship. One is, parental involvement, which generally means more accountability and minimal parental problems. The second is, courtship reduces you giving your heart away to a bunch of different people or having your heart broken by a player.

Ok, so for a debate in my Speech and debate class, me and my partner are arguing dating vs. courting. We're both for dating, (I'll talk more about that later, when i'm not in class) but I'm arguing for courting. Any help? I mean, there's gotta be reasons that its better than dating. It'd be much appreciated. thanks :]<3

eh, more like rabbit trail just starting a debate...

wow random.

NO, feminists say that females are equal to males. I HIGHLY disagree w/ that. Females Should NOT be aloud to do the same thing males are aloud to. i would like it if it was illegal for woman to smoke, drink, work at a bar. i think it should be illegial for woman to show much of their bodies. i'm not extreme saying that woman shouldn't be alloud to were pants or anything, but i do think that after the whole 'womans rights' thing, it stole the beauty of woman. i do think woman should vote, but i do not think they should be alloud to run for presidentcy. i know most of this doesn't sound like womans rights, more like what Christian woman would obey type thing. but i think an air of woman was lost after this. now, don't get me wrong, there where woman who didn't behave properly, but they were frowned upon in sociaties.

Your just another feminist put to the extreme.

k, whatever, ignore the facts, but i am right.

hahaha__________haha
try again.

ooo that is so not true.
woman was created to help man. man CAN'T i repeat,CANNOT live with out woman. God knew this. however, woman is capable of relying on God completely with out man, so there for it is alot easier for woman to live a single life than it is for man to.
thats why the husbands die before the wife. if the wife dies first, 75% of the time the man remarries.(if not more than that)

Oh my bad wasn't paying attention I was listening to music.

No not at all my gender has nothing to do with it plus a woman wouldn't survive without a man's paycheck.

i think you mean wouldn't...
haha and thats because ur a guy

Well it would be boring to me. personally I would survive the world being single my entire life.
