Hang out is not Dating!

Dating?? ? Most young adults are not dating. We are hanging out. Dating is dead! Most young people are just hanging out with the opposite sex. We are not asking each other out on dates to spend one on one with someone. We are not taking the time get to know each other on a personal level. We are hanging out in large groups of boys and girls. Many young people are also jumping into the physical parts of the relationship and skipping over many steps to dating.

Just because a boy takes you out doesn't mean that you are dating them or that you are going to marry them. Dating is a way to get to know each other Dating should be spending time to get know a particular person. Dating lots of different people allows you to know what type of person you like or what you want in a spouse. We need to take the time to get to know each other before we just jump into a relationship. There needs to be trust in a relationship, trust is earned by spending time with that person and getting to know them. Once we start a physical relationship we are putting a lot of trust into that person. A physical relationship to boys is not that big of a deal but to a girl it is everything. Once we start that connection with someone there no going back to just being friends.

Let's think before we act on the feelings we are feeling for the opposite sex. Let's think about the feelings that the other person could be having for you. Let's take a step back and look at the relationship. Let's shut off the Netflix and Video games and ask each other on dates. Let's put away our phones when we are on dates. Let’s try talking to the person we are with so we can get to know each other.

  1. Dating one on one can actually be lots of fun and gives you a chance to really get to know each other so much better.

  2. It was fun to be asked on a date. There are so many things to do that are free or cost little. I think we act differently one on one, instead of in a group. The commitment is there only if you continue to date and decide you have found your best friend.
