Taking the year off to not date is a great idea. Between my 15th and 16th year of life I made that commitment. I decided to 'date' God rather than chasing after 'my crushes.' Now it won't be easy, of course. But it's really rewarding and a good decision. Maybe not the right decision for everyone, but it was for me. I went through a time where I had never ever dated an actual Christian. During that year I realized a lot. I realized that before I can let someone else get to know me on a deeper level, I needed to know who I was. Who God wanted me to be. At the time I was so confused, and I honestly couldn't tell you who I was. But since I let God take the wheel and drive, He's transformed me into the God serving young women that I am today. And the best part of all is that He's not done with me yet..He's still transforming me and preparing me for that one young man-young man of God-that He has for me. And now I will not date a nonbeliever. You need to be on the same spiritual maturity level, I honestly believe that. Good luck with this year! And just continually pray to God for support and strength.

Thats good hear, but you dont... i should say that as soon as youre mature enough for dating, just dont do it. It could be a month, it could be 3 years. Only God will tell. So the goal should be: Not to date anyone until you are mature enough for a serious relationship (btw, all your relationships should be serious, not just for fun or for companionship) and by God's standards. And yes, never date a non-christian. The Bible clearly states that we should not be unequally yoked with un-believers. Thanks for listening though, alot of people have a hard time doing that. I'm glad you chose to go that way.

I'd be careful making admissions like that around here - people are likely to burn you at the stake.

I had that choice made for me by default - nobody was interested in dating me. In fact, they're still not. I finally gave up and resigned myself to the fate that has befallen my lot.
